Lesson Plan for Primary 1 - Basic Science and Technology - iving Things + Basic Computer Operations + Moveme

## Lesson Plan: Basic Science and Technology for Primary 1 ### Topic: Living Things, Basic Computer Operations, Movement of Body Parts --- ### Objectives: 1. Students will identify and differentiate living things from non-living things. 2. Students will understand basic computer operations, including turning on/off a computer. 3. Students will learn how different body parts move and their functions. ### Materials: - Flashcards of living and non-living things - A computer or tablet - Projector (if available) - Pictures/charts of body parts - Interactive songs and games - Coloring sheets and crayons - Stickers or small rewards ### Duration: 90 minutes --- ### Lesson Procedure: #### **Introduction (10 minutes):** 1. **Greetings and Introduction:** - Welcome the students and tell them that today they will learn about living things, basic computer operations, and how different body parts move. 2. **Warm-Up Activity:** - Start with a short song or a rhyme related to the body parts (e.g., “Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes”). #### **Part 1: Living Things (25 minutes)** 1. **Discussion and Identification:** - Show flashcards of various objects (e.g., cat, rock, tree, car). - Ask students to identify which ones are living and which are non-living. 2. **Characteristics of Living Things:** - Explain that living things grow, eat, move, and reproduce. - Use simple words and examples they can relate to, like pets or plants. 3. **Interactive Activity:** - Organize a sorting game where students classify pictures into living and non-living things. - Give each student a chance to participate and provide small rewards for correct answers. #### **Part 2: Basic Computer Operations (25 minutes)** 1. **Introduction to Computers:** - Show a computer or a tablet to the students. - Explain its basic parts: monitor, keyboard, mouse, and CPU. 2. **Hands-On Activity:** - Demonstrate how to turn on and off the computer safely. - Let each student practice turning on and off the computer under supervision. 3. **Basic Operations:** - Show how to use the mouse to click and drag. - Use a children’s educational software or a simple game for practice. #### **Part 3: Movement of Body Parts (25 minutes)** 1. **Discussion and Demonstration:** - Explain that different body parts have different movements and functions. - Use a chart or picture to point out parts like arms, legs, hands, and feet. 2. **Interactive Movement Game:** - Organize a “Simon Says” game focusing on movements (e.g., Simon says touch your toes, Simon says clap your hands). 3. **Movement Song:** - Sing a song that encourages movements like bending, stretching, jumping, and dancing. - Encourage students to follow along and mimic the actions. #### **Closure and Review (5 minutes):** 1. **Review the Key Points:** - Ask questions to review what they have learned about living things, computers, and body parts. 2. **Feedback:** - Allow students to share what they enjoyed the most. 3. **Homework Assignment:** - Give students a simple worksheet to color different living things, label basic computer parts, and match body parts with their movements. ### Assessment: - Observe students during activities to gauge understanding and participation. - Check the sorting game results and the hands-on computer activities. - Assess the homework assignment for comprehension of concepts. ### Additional Notes: - Ensure all students are actively participating and provide support where needed. - Use praise and positive reinforcement to motivate and encourage students. ### Follow-Up: - Revisit the topics in future lessons to reinforce learning. - Incorporate more advanced computer skills and bodily movements in the next classes. --- By integrating interactive activities and hands-on experiences, this lesson plan caters to the holistic development of Primary 1 students, fostering both cognitive and physical growth.
