### Lesson Structure
**Introduction (10 minutes):**
1. **Greeting and Settling Down (2 minutes):**
- Welcome the students and ensure they are settled and ready.
2. **Review of Previous Lesson (3 minutes):**
- Briefly review what was learned about "Air in Motion" in the last class. Ask a few questions to refresh their memory (e.g., "What happens when the wind blows?").
3. **Introduction to Today's Topic (5 minutes):**
- Explain that today, we will learn more about how air moves, see some real-world examples of this, and discuss safety rules for playing football.
**Core Activities (35 minutes):**
1. **Air in Motion II (15 minutes):**
- **Demonstration (5 minutes):**
- Show how air in motion works by using balloons and pinwheels. Explain how blowing up a balloon and releasing it shows air in motion.
- **Interactive Discussion (5 minutes):**
- Ask students to share other examples of air in motion they’ve seen (e.g., leaves blowing in the wind, kites flying).
- **Hands-on Activity (5 minutes):**
- Distribute paper fans and let students experiment with creating movement using the fans and observing the effects on lightweight objects or pinwheels.
2. **System Application (10 minutes):**
- **Explanation (5 minutes):**
- Discuss how air in motion is used in real-world systems—such as wind turbines generating energy, or fans cooling down rooms.
- **Visual Aid (5 minutes):**
- Show pictures or videos of these systems in action. Discuss how understanding air in motion can help us use resources more efficiently.
3. **Safety Rules in Football (10 minutes):**
- **Introduction (3 minutes):**
- Explain importance of safety while playing football. Introduce key safety rules such as wearing proper equipment, warming up before playing, and playing fair.
- **Interactive Role Play (7 minutes):**
- Organize students into groups. Assign each group a safety rule. Have them create and perform a short skit showing the importance of their assigned rule.
**Conclusion (15 minutes):**
1. **Recap and Q&A (5 minutes):**
- Recap the main points covered: air in motion, its application, and football safety rules.
- Allow students to ask questions for clarification.
2. **Practical Football Exercise (10 minutes):**
- Take students outside or to a suitable indoor space.
- Set up a simple football drill using cones and markers.
- While they practice, reinforce the safety rules (e.g., no pushing, proper warm-up).
### Assessment:
1. **Observation:**
- Observe students during activities to see if they grasp the concepts.
2. **Participation:**
- Note student participation in discussions, demonstrations, and role play.
3. **Q&A:**
- Evaluate understanding based on responses during Q&A sessions.
### Homework:
- Draw a picture of something that moves because of air (e.g., a kite, a windmill).
- Write down two safety rules for football and explain why they are important.
