Lesson Plan for Primary 5 - Basic Science and Technology - Matter + Gymnastics + Writing And Sending Emails

### Lesson Plan for Primary 5 **Subject:** Basic Science and Technology **Integration Areas:** Physical Education (Gymnastics) + ICT (Writing and Sending Emails) **Topic:** Matter --- #### *Objectives:* 1. **Science:** Students will understand the concept of matter and its different states (solid, liquid, gas). 2. **Physical Education:** Students will practice basic gymnastics movements to enhance physical coordination. 3. **ICT:** Students will write and send an email summarizing what they have learned about matter and their gymnastics experience. #### *Materials:* - Chart paper and markers - Balloons and a container of water - Computer or tablet with internet access - Gym mats #### *Introduction (10 minutes):* 1. **Greeting and Roll Call:** Begin the class with a warm greeting and take roll. 2. **Introduction to Matter:** - Ask students to describe what they think matter is. - Show objects such as a rock (solid), water (liquid), and blow a balloon to demonstrate air (gas). #### *Development (Section 1: Basic Science) - 20 minutes:* 1. **Explanation:** - Define matter: Anything that has mass and takes up space. - Explain the three states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas with examples. 2. **Activity:** - Hands-on activity to identify and classify different materials as solid, liquid, or gas. - Use chart paper to create a Venn diagram and categorize examples given by students. #### *Development (Section 2: Gymnastics) - 20 minutes:* 1. **Warm-Up:** - Perform light stretching exercises. 2. **Gymnastics Practice:** - Teach basic movements such as forward rolls, cartwheels, and balancing on one foot. - Emphasize safety and the importance of warming up before physical activities. 3. **Cool Down:** - Light stretching and deep breathing exercises. #### *Development (Section 3: Writing and Sending Emails) - 20 minutes:* 1. **Writing Activity:** - Explain how to compose an email. - Guide students to write a simple email summarizing the day's lessons, what they learned about matter, and their gymnastics experience. 2. **Sending Email:** - Demonstrate how to send an email using computers or tablets. - Ensure each student sends their email to a designated email address (e.g., teacher's email). #### *Conclusion and Review (10 minutes):* 1. **Review Key Points:** - Ask students to summarize what they learned about matter. - Discuss how physical activity (gymnastics) is beneficial to health. - Reinforce the steps of writing and sending an email. 2. **Q&A Session:** - Open the floor for questions and clarifications. 3. **Homework:** - Students will find three objects at home and identify them as solid, liquid, or gas. They will write this down and bring it to the next class. #### *Assessment:* - Observe and evaluate students' participation in the classification activity. - Assess students' gymnastics movements and safety during the practice. - Review the emails sent by students for clarity and comprehension. #### *Wrap-Up:* - Encourage students to think about how matter and technology are part of their daily lives. - Thank the students for their participation and enthusiasm. --- By integrating basic science, physical education, and ICT, students engage in a diverse and holistic learning experience that not only enhances their understanding of the subject matter but also develops their physical and digital literacy skills.
