#### Subject: Basic Science and Technology
#### Grade: Primary 2
#### Duration: 1 Hour
#### Topic: Movement

**Objectives:**
By the end of the lesson, students will be able to:
1. Define movement.
2. Identify different types of movements (e.g., walking, running, jumping).
3. Demonstrate basic movements using their bodies.
4. Understand the importance of movement for health and daily life.
---
**Materials Needed:**
- Flashcards with different types of movements depicted (e.g., people walking, animals running, birds flying).
- A large open space for movement activities.
- Music for movement activity.
- Projector or whiteboard (optional for visual aids).
---
**Lesson Outline:**
1. **Introduction (10 Minutes)**
- Greet the students and have them sit in a circle.
- Start with a simple question to spark their interest: "What do you do when you want to go to another room or play outside?"
- Allow a few students to share their thoughts and answers.
- Introduce the topic by explaining that today’s lesson will be about "Movement"—how we and other living things get from one place to another.
2. **Teaching and Explanation (15 Minutes)**
- Define movement: "Movement is when something or someone changes its position from one place to another."
- Show flashcards with different types of movements. Explain each one briefly, such as walking, running, jumping, swimming, and flying.
- Use real-life examples and ask students to think of other types of movements they know (e.g., a fish swimming, a car driving).
3. **Interactive Session (15 Minutes)**
- Engage the students in a game where they mimic the movements shown on the flashcards. For example:
- When you hold up a card showing a person running, the students should run in place.
- When you hold up a card showing a bird flying, they should flap their arms like wings.
- Play upbeat music and encourage the children to have fun with the movements.
4. **Group Activity (10 Minutes)**
- Divide students into small groups.
- Each group should act out a short scenario where they use different types of movements to accomplish a task (e.g., moving from a start line to a finish line using different movements like walking, hopping, and skipping).
- Allow each group to present their scenario to the class.
5. **Review and Conclusion (10 Minutes)**
- Gather the students back in a circle.
- Recap the different types of movements discussed in the lesson.
- Ask questions to check comprehension, such as:
- "What type of movement does a bird use?"
- "Which movement do you use to go to school?"
- Discuss why movement is important for our health and daily activities.
- Praise students for their participation and effort.
6. **Homework/Extension Activity**
- Ask the students to draw a picture at home of their favorite type of movement and bring it to the next class.
- For further exploration, encourage them to observe and note different kinds of movements they see around them (people, animals, vehicles, etc.) and share their findings in the next class.

**Assessment:**
- Participation in the interactive and group activities.
- Ability to correctly identify and demonstrate different types of movements.
- Responses during the review session.
---
**Notes:**
- Ensure that the physical activities are safe and suitable for the classroom environment.
- Be positive and encouraging to boost students’ confidence and enjoyment in learning about movement.
