### **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).

### **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.
