- Use visuals (pictures or slides) to reinforce the concepts.
**3. Activity: Soil Sorting (5 minutes)**
- Provide students with mixed soil samples and ask them to sort them into sand, clay, and loam.
### **Part 2: Starting up a Computer (30 minutes)**
**1. Introduction to Computers (5 minutes)**
- Ask students if they have seen or used a computer before.
- Explain the purpose of a computer and why it is important to know how to use one.
**2. Steps to Start Up a Computer (10 minutes)**
- Demonstrate how to start a computer step by step:
1. Press the power button on the computer or CPU.
2. Wait for the computer to boot up.
3. Show the login screen and explain how to enter a username and password (if applicable).
4. Reach the desktop screen and explain its elements (icons, taskbar).
**3. Hands-On Practice (15 minutes)**
- Allow students to start up a computer by themselves in small groups.
- Provide assistance as they follow the steps demonstrated.
### **Part 3: Safety in Football Games (30 minutes)**
