# Lesson Plan for Primary 1: Basic Science and Technology
### Topic: Energy IV + Keyboard + Sports and Games - Athletics
### Duration: 60 Minutes
## Objectives
By the end of this lesson, students will:
1. Understand basic concepts of energy and its sources.
2. Identify the keys on a computer keyboard and their uses.
3. Understand simple physical activities related to athletics.
## Materials Needed
- Flashcards with images depicting different sources of energy (sun, wind, water, etc.)
- A computer keyboard or printed images of a keyboard
- Space for physical activity (e.g., a gymnasium or open classroom space)
- Simple athletic equipment (cones for marking distances, a whistle, etc.)
## Lesson Structure
### Introduction (10 Minutes)
1. **Greeting and Warm-Up:**
- Start with a friendly greeting and a quick warm-up song or chant about energy.
- Example: "Good morning, students! Today, we will explore energy, learn about the keyboard, and play some fun sports and games!"
### Segment 1: Energy IV (15 Minutes)
1. **Discussion on Energy:**
- Ask students what they think energy is and where it comes from.
- Show flashcards of different sources of energy and explain each one briefly (e.g., "This is the sun. The sun gives us energy in the form of light and heat.").
2. **Interactive Activity:**
- Play a game where students match the flashcards with their sources. For example, show an image of the sun and ask, “What kind of energy does this give us?”
### Segment 2: Keyboard (15 Minutes)
1. **Introduction to the Keyboard:**
- Show a real keyboard or a large printed image of one.
- Explain that a keyboard is used to type letters and numbers into a computer.
2. **Identifying Keys:**
- Point out and name important keys like the spacebar, enter key, and letters A-Z.
- Let students take turns coming up to the keyboard (or image) to point out the keys you name.
3. **Interactive Activity:**
- Have students sing the "ABC Song” while pointing to the corresponding letters on the keyboard.
### Segment 3: Sports and Games - Athletics (15 Minutes)
1. **Introduction to Athletics:**
- Explain that athletics include activities like running, jumping, and throwing.
- Show simple videos or demonstrations of each type of athletic event.
2. **Physical Activity:**
- Divide students into small groups for basic athletic activities:
- Running races (short sprints)
- Jumping (e.g., standing long jump)
- Throwing (e.g., tossing a soft ball)
3. **Mini-Competition:**
- Organize a friendly mini-competition where students can cheer for each other.
- Use cones to mark distances and a whistle to start races.
### Conclusion (5 Minutes)
1. **Recap:**
- Review what was learned about energy, keyboards, and athletics.
- Ask questions to reinforce understanding (e.g., “Can anyone tell me one source of energy? What key do we press to make a space?”).
2. **Closing:**
- End with a fun and positive note, possibly a group cheer or a light stretching activity.
- Thank students for their participation and encourage them to think about these topics at home.
### Assessment
- Observe students' participation and engagement during activities.
- Ask individual students simple questions related to each segment to check for understanding.
### Homework
- Draw a picture of their favorite source of energy.
- Practice typing their name using a keyboard or pretend keyboard at home.
- Share with their family what they learned about athletics and demonstrate one activity.
### Reflection
After the lesson, reflect on what worked well and what could be improved for future lessons. Consider student feedback and engagement levels to adjust the teaching approach as needed.
