### Lesson Plan: Basic Science and Technology for Primary 2 **Topic**: Clay - Molding + Identification of Icons and their Uses + Movement and Sounds Made by Man, Animals, and Machines **Grade Level**: Primary 2 **Duration**: 90 minutes --- #### **Lesson Objectives:** - Recognize and manipulate clay to create simple shapes. - Identify common icons and their uses. - Distinguish between different movements and sounds made by man, animals, and machines. #### **Materials Needed:** - Pieces of clay or playdough - Flashcards with various icons (e.g., play, stop, home, school, etc.) - Audio recordings of different sounds (human, animals, machines) - Visual aids such as pictures or videos showing different movements #### **Introduction (10 minutes):** 1. **Greeting and Warm-Up:** - Greet the students and briefly discuss what they will learn today. - Start with a simple game where children can guess what the lesson will be about based on clues. --- #### **Part 1: Clay Molding (30 minutes):** **1. Demonstration:** - Show students how to divide their clay or playdough into smaller pieces. - Demonstrate how to mold simple shapes such as a ball, a snake, and a cube. **2. Hands-On Activity:** - Allow students to practice molding. - Encourage them to create different shapes and maybe even simple objects like a cup or a plate. **3. Sharing:** - Ask students to share their creations with the class. - Discuss the shapes and objects they have made. ##### **Assessment:** - Observe and provide feedback on the students’ molding techniques. - Check for creativity and ability to follow instructions. --- #### **Part 2: Identification of Icons and their Uses (20 minutes):** **1. Introduction to Icons:** - Show flashcards with various icons such as a play button, a stop sign, a house icon, etc. - Discuss the meaning and use of each icon. **2. Interactive Game:** - Play a matching game where students match icons to their appropriate uses or places (e.g., matching a house icon to "home"). **3. Discussion:** - Talk about where students have seen these icons in real life and what they signify. ##### **Assessment:** - Encourage students to explain the use of each icon. - Check for correct identification and understanding of each icon’s purpose. --- #### **Part 3: Movement and Sounds Made by Man, Animals, and Machines (30 minutes):** **1. Movement Exploration:** - Show visuals or act out different types of movements (walking, running, jumping). - Compare these movements to those of animals (e.g., a bird flying, a cat creeping) and machines (a car moving, a washing machine spinning). **2. Sound Activity:** - Play audio recordings of different sounds: human (talking, clapping), animal (barking, meowing), machine (car honking, phone ringing). - Let students guess the source of each sound. **3. Movement and Sound Matching Game:** - Use the visuals and sounds to play a matching game. Ask students to match each sound to the correct visual and identify if it’s from a human, animal, or machine. ##### **Assessment:** - Observe students’ engagement and ability to correctly identify and match movements and sounds. - Assess understanding through participation in games and discussions. --- #### **Conclusion (10 minutes):** 1. **Recap and Reflect:** - Summarize what was learned about clay molding, icons and their uses, and movements and sounds. - Ask students what their favorite part of the lesson was and why. 2. **Assignment:** - Give a simple take-home activity where students draw an icon and explain its use or draw an animal and describe its movement and sound. 3. **Closing:** - Thank the students for their participation and enthusiasm. - Encourage them to observe and explore the movements and sounds around them in their daily lives. --- #### **Evaluation:** - Monitor students during activities to ensure they understand the concepts. - Use their participation in discussions, games, and assignments to assess their grasp of the topics covered. ### End of Lesson Plan
