Lesson Plan for Primary 1 - Basic Science and Technology - nergy Ii + Parts Of A Computer (monitor And Mouse

**Lesson Plan for Primary 1: Basic Science and Technology** **Topic:** Energy II + Parts of a Computer (Monitor and Mouse) + Movement **Duration:** 2 hours **Objective:** 1. Students will understand the concept of energy, its forms and sources. 2. Students will learn about different parts of a computer, focusing on the monitor and mouse. 3. Students will explore basic movements and the importance of movement in our lives. **Resources:** - Flashcards - PowerPoint Presentation - Real computer components (monitor, mouse) - Videos - Pictures - Worksheets - Colored markers - Chart paper - Glue sticks --- ### **Lesson Outline** **Introduction (15 minutes):** - Greet the students and introduce the day's topics. - Briefly explain what they will learn: - What energy is and its different forms. - The monitor and mouse as parts of a computer. - Basic movements in humans. --- ### **Part 1: Energy II (30 minutes)** 1. **Warm-up Activity:** - Start with a simple question: "What gives us the power to move and play?" - Show pictures of different energy sources (food, sun, electricity). 2. **Explain Different Forms of Energy:** - Discuss using simple terms and examples: - **Food**: The energy we get from the food we eat. - **Sun**: The warmth and light we get from the sun. - **Electricity**: Powers our home appliances. 3. **Simple Experiments/Demonstrations:** - Demonstrate how energy works using a flashlight (batteries = energy source). 4. **Activity:** - Worksheet with pictures where students can match different energy sources to items (e.g., match the sun with plants, food with humans). --- ### **Break (10 minutes)** --- ### **Part 2: Parts of a Computer (Monitor and Mouse) (30 minutes)** 1. **Introduction:** - Ask students if they have seen or used a computer. - Show a real monitor and mouse or pictures of them. 2. **Explanation:** - **Monitor**: Explain that the monitor is like a TV screen where we see things from the computer. Hold up a monitor to show them. - **Mouse**: Explain that the mouse is a small device we use to move the cursor on the screen. Show them how a mouse looks and works. 3. **Interactive Demonstration:** - Let students take turns using the mouse to move the cursor on the monitor. 4. **Activity:** - Worksheet with images of different computer parts. Students color the monitor and the mouse. --- ### **Part 3: Movement (30 minutes)** 1. **Introduction:** - Talk about movement and why it is important (e.g., playing, walking, running). - Show pictures or videos of different movements. 2. **Discussion:** - Ask students to name some activities where we use movement. 3. **Activity:** - **Simon Says** game focusing on movements like jumping, clapping, etc. - Chart paper activity where students draw and label basic movements (walking, running, jumping). --- ### **Conclusion (15 minutes):** - Recap of the topics covered. - Ask students to share one thing they learned. - Distribute a simple take-home activity sheet (e.g., draw their favorite form of movement). - Thank the students for their participation and remind them of the next class. **Assessment:** - Participation in discussions and activities. - Worksheet completion. - Observational assessment during activities. **Follow-up:** - Encourage students to observe different energy sources at home and identify parts of electronics such as monitors and mice. - Suggest parents involve kids in active games to reinforce the importance of movement. This lesson plan combines theoretical understanding with practical activities to engage Primary 1 students and enhance their learning experience.
