### Lesson Plan: Basic Science and Technology - Primary 1
**Topic: Living Things II + Movement of Body Parts**
---
#### Lesson Objectives:
By the end of the lesson, students will be able to:
1. Identify and differentiate living things from non-living things.
2. Understand the basic characteristics of living things.
3. Learn the function and movement of different body parts in both humans and animals.
4. Participate in simple, directed movements to demonstrate understanding of body parts and their functions.
---
#### Materials Required:
1. Flashcards with pictures of living and non-living things.
2. Picture books or slides depicting various living things (animals, plants, humans).
3. Anatomical charts of human body parts.
4. Simple props such as stuffed animals, toy plants, and plastic models of human anatomy.
5. A whiteboard and markers or a digital presentation tool.
6. Worksheets for labeling body parts.
7. An interactive video or song about body parts.

#### Lesson Structure:
**1. Introduction (10 minutes)**
- **Greeting and Warm-up:** Greet the students and perform a quick warm-up exercise to get them energized.
- **Objective Sharing:** Briefly explain what they will learn about living things and body parts.
**2. Activity 1: Identifying Living and Non-Living Things (15 minutes)**
- **Flashcard Exercise:** Show students flashcards with images of living and non-living things. Ask them to identify and classify each one.
- **Discussion:** Explain the basic characteristics of living things (e.g., they grow, move, breathe, and need food and water).
- **Interactive Game:** Have students find objects in the classroom or on the playground and classify them as living or non-living.
**3. Activity 2: Exploring Living Things (15 minutes)**
- **Show and Tell:** Display a variety of living things using picture books or slides. Discuss what makes each one unique.
- **Story Time:** Read a short story about an animal or plant, focusing on its characteristics and needs.
**4. Activity 3: Learning about Human Body Parts (20 minutes)**
- **Anatomy Chart:** Present an anatomical chart and introduce basic body parts (head, arms, legs, etc.).
- **Interactive Song/Video:** Play a catchy video or song about body parts to engage the students.
- **Labeling Activity:** Give students worksheets to label body parts. Provide guidance and assistance as needed.
**5. Activity 4: Movement of Body Parts (20 minutes)**
- **Demonstration and Participation:** Show various movements (e.g., bending an arm, kicking a leg) and have students mimic these movements.
- **Animal Imitation Game:** Have students imitate how different animals move (e.g., hopping like a frog, flying like a bird).
- **Movement Freeze Game:** Play music and have students dance or move around, then freeze when the music stops. Ask them to identify the body part they used for their last movement.
**6. Consolidation and Review (10 minutes)**
- **Recap:** Summarize the key points of the lesson, asking students to recall the characteristics of living things and how different body parts move.
- **Q&A:** Allow students to ask questions about what they learned.
**7. Homework/Extension Activity:** (Optional)
- **Drawing and Labeling:** Assign students to draw a living thing (plant, animal, or human) and label its parts.
- **Observation Task:** Encourage students to observe a living thing at home, such as a pet or plant, and note how it moves.
---
#### Assessment:
- **Class Participation:** Observe and note students' engagement during classification and movement activities.
- **Worksheets:** Review completed worksheets to assess students' understanding of body parts.
- **Q&A Response:** Gauge comprehension through students' ability to answer questions during the review.
---
#### Conclusion:
- **Closing Remarks:** Praise students for their participation and effort.
- **Next Lesson Preview:** Give a hint about the next topic to build anticipation.
---
### Tips for Differentiation:
- **For Advanced Learners:** Introduce more complex body parts or deeper characteristics of living things.
- **For Struggling Students:** Provide additional visual aids or pair them with a buddy for peer support.
This lesson plan is designed to be interactive, engaging, and educational, blending fundamentals of science with physical activity to cater to young learners' development in primary school.
