### 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.
