### Lesson Outline:
#### 1. **Introduction (10 minutes)**
- Greet the students and let them know what they will be learning today.
- Provide a brief overview of the three topics: Parts of a Plant, Classification of Computers by Size, and Basic Swimming Safety and Techniques.
#### 2. **Activity 1: Science - Parts of a Plant (25 minutes)**
- **Engage:** Show pictures or samples of different plants and ask students if they can identify them.
- **Explore:** Help students label parts of a plant (root, stem, leaves, flowers) using a chart.
- **Explain:** Discuss the function of each plant part and why plants are important for the environment.
- **Elaborate:** Conduct a quick interactive Q&A session with students to reinforce learning.
- **Evaluate:** Distribute worksheets where students will label parts of a plant and color them.
#### 3. **Activity 2: Technology - Classification of Computers by Size (30 minutes)**
- **Engage:** Show images of various computers (desktop, laptop, tablet, smartphone).
- **Explore:** Explain the differences in size, power, and common uses of each type.
- **Explain:** Discuss how different types of devices are suitable for different tasks.
- **Elaborate:** Have students share what types of devices they have seen or used at home.
- **Evaluate:** Use a simple matching exercise where students will connect pictures of tasks (like gaming, studying, calling) with the appropriate device.
#### 4. **Activity 3: Physical Education - Basic Swimming Safety and Techniques (20 minutes)**
- **Engage:** Start with a story or video about swimming to capture interest.
- **Explore:** Discuss basic swimming safety rules (never swim alone, stay in shallow areas, follow lifeguard instructions).
- **Explain:** Introduce basic swimming techniques like floating, kicking, and simple strokes using diagrams or videos.
- **Elaborate:** Have a short discussion on students’ experiences with swimming.
- **Evaluate:** Hand out a checklist to reinforce swimming safety and have students color areas in diagrams indicating safe swim zones.
#### 5. **Closing (5 minutes)**
- Recap the key points learned today.
- Encourage students to explore the topics further with their parents or guardians.
- Assign minor homework for reinforcement (e.g., draw a plant and label parts, share a device they use at home, recall a swimming safety rule).
---
### Assessment:
- Participation in discussions and activities.
- Completion of worksheets and coloring activities.
- Ability to recall key concepts during Q&A sessions.
### Follow-Up:
- Display students’ work in the classroom.
- Plan a visit to a botanical garden or a computer lab, if feasible.
- Organize a swimming lesson or a water safety workshop.
