**Grade:** Primary 6
**Subject:** Basic Science and Technology
**Duration:** 60 minutes
---
**Objectives:**
- **Science:** Understand the concept and applications of inclined planes.
- **Physical Education:** Learn basic martial arts principles and techniques that relate to balance and movement.
- **Technology:** Discuss the misuse of computers and promote responsible digital behavior.
---
**Materials:**
- Inclined plane models (ramps)
- Cart or small ball
- Computer with internet access
- Projector or smartboard
- Videos on martial arts basic techniques
- Worksheet and pencils
**Lesson Structure:**
**Introduction (10 minutes):**
1. **Greeting and Attendance** (2 minutes)
2. **Warm-Up Discussion** (8 minutes)
- Ask students if they have ever ridden a bike up a ramp or seen a wheelchair ramp.
- Briefly introduce today's three-part topic: inclined planes (science), martial arts (physical education), and responsible computer use (technology).

**Main Activities (40 minutes):**
**1. Inclined Planes (Science) - 15 minutes:**
- **Explanation (5 minutes):**
- Define an inclined plane (a flat surface tilted at an angle to help move objects).
- Show models of inclined planes (ramps) and discuss their purpose.
- **Demonstration & Experiment (10 minutes):**
- Use a cart or small ball to demonstrate how objects move on an inclined plane.
- Engage students by asking them to predict how far the ball will roll depending on the incline angle.
- Discuss how inclined planes are used in everyday life (ramps for wheelchairs, slides, etc.).
**2. Martial Arts (Physical Education) - 15 minutes:**
- **Introduction to Martial Arts (5 minutes):**
- Show a short video demonstrating basic martial arts techniques focusing on balance and coordination.
- Discuss how martial arts requires understanding angles and leverage, similar to inclined planes.
- **Practice Session (10 minutes):**
- Teach the students a basic stance and a few simple movements.
- Emphasize the importance of balance, which can be related to the concepts of inclined planes (angle and support).
**3. Misuse of Computers (Technology) - 10 minutes:**
- **Discussion (5 minutes):**
- Discuss what constitutes computer misuse (e.g., excessive gaming, cyberbullying, accessing inappropriate content).
- Use a projector to show a responsible computer use infographic.
- **Group Activity (5 minutes):**
- Hand out worksheets where students list good and bad uses of computers.
- Encourage students to share their ideas and discuss how they can promote responsible computer use among their peers.

**Conclusion (10 minutes):**
**Wrap-Up Activity:**
- **Review & Q&A (5 minutes):**
- Recap key points from each section (inclined planes, martial arts, and computer use).
- Engage students with a quick Q&A session to consolidate their understanding.
**Reflective Exercise (5 minutes):**
- Ask students to write down three things they learned today and one question they still have.
- Collect the sheets for review and to address any outstanding questions in future lessons.
**Closing:**
- Thank the students for their participation.
- Assign a simple homework task: observe and list different inclined planes they see around their neighborhood.
**Assessment:**
- Monitor students' participation during the activities.
- Review the worksheets and reflective exercise to assess understanding.
**Notes:**
- Ensure a safe environment during the martial arts practice.
- Be mindful of the time to ensure smooth transitions between activities.
