---
### Objectives:
By the end of the lesson, students will be able to:
1. Understand the basic properties and uses of clay.
2. Identify various icons and explain their uses.
3. Describe different movements and sounds made by humans, animals, and machines.
### Materials Needed:
- Samples of clay
- Picture cards of common icons (e.g., recycle, Wi-Fi, play/pause buttons)
- Audio clips of sounds made by humans, animals, and machines
- Visual aids of animals and machines
- Sticky notes
- Drawing supplies (crayons, markers, paper)
- Whiteboard and markers
### Lesson Outline:
#### **Introduction (10 minutes)**
1. **Welcome and Introduction:**
- Greet the students and introduce the day's topic.
- Briefly discuss what they know about clay, common icons, and sounds made by people, animals, and machines.
2. **Objective Sharing:**
- Share the objectives of the lesson with students.
#### **Part 1: Clay (15 minutes)**
1. **Discussion and Demonstration:**
- Explain what clay is, showing the actual samples.
- Discuss the properties of clay—color, texture, and how it feels when wet or dry.
- Demonstrate simple clay shaping techniques.
2. **Activity:**
- Let students feel the clay and try to mold simple shapes like balls or snakes.
3. **Wrap-up:**
- Ask a few students to share what they have created with clay.
#### **Part 2: Identification of Icons and Their Uses (15 minutes)**
1. **Explanation and Identification:**
- Show picture cards with common icons (e.g., trash bin, play/pause, Wi-Fi).
- Explain what each icon means and where they might see it in their daily life.
2. **Activity:**
- Divide the students into small groups and give each group some sticky notes.
- Ask groups to match icons with their uses by sticking the notes next to the correct icon on a poster board.
3. **Review:**
- Go over the answers as a class to ensure understanding.
#### **Part 3: Movement and Sounds Made by Man, Animals, and Machines (15 minutes)**
1. **Discussion:**
- Explain how different creatures and objects make sounds and move.
- Use visual aids to show different animals and machines.
2. **Audio Clips and Identification Game:**
- Play different audio clips of sounds (e.g., a dog barking, a train honking, people talking).
- Ask students to identify the sound and describe what makes that sound.
3. **Movement Activity:**
- Ask the class to stand up.
- Call out names of different humans, animals, and machines—students should act out how they think each moves (e.g., hop like a rabbit, march like a soldier, move arms like a robot).
#### **Conclusion (5 minutes)**
1. **Recap:**
- Quickly recap the day's lessons on clay, icons, and the sounds/movements of humans, animals, and machines.
2. **Questions and Answers:**
- Allow students to ask any questions.
3. **Homework Assignment:**
- Ask students to draw their favorite icon at home and explain it during the next class.
- Ask them to observe sounds in their environment and share new ones they find next time.
