Lesson Plan for Primary 1 - Basic Science and Technology - oil + Starting Up A Computer + Safety In Football

### Lesson Plan: Basic Science and Technology for Primary 1 #### Topic: Soil, Starting up a Computer, Safety in Football Games --- #### **Objective:** - Students will be able to identify different types of soil and understand their uses. - Students will learn the basic steps for starting up a computer. - Students will understand the basic safety rules for playing football. --- #### **Materials:** - Samples of different types of soil (sand, clay, loam) - A projector or chart paper for illustrations - A computer - Football or any soft ball - Safety gear for football (shin guards, helmet, etc.) --- #### **Lesson Structure:** ### **Part 1: Soil (30 minutes)** **1. Introduction to Soil (10 minutes)** - Begin with a brief discussion on what soil is and why it is important. - Show students samples of different types of soil (sand, clay, loam). - Allow students to touch and feel the soil samples. **2. Types of Soil and Their Uses (15 minutes)** - Explain the differences between sand, clay, and loam. - Discuss the uses of each type of soil (e.g., sand for building, clay for pottery, loam for gardening). - 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)** **1. Introduction to Football (5 minutes)** - Ask the students if they have played or seen a football game. - Briefly explain the basic rules of football. **2. Importance of Safety in Football (10 minutes)** - Discuss why safety is important while playing football. - Show and explain different safety gear used in football (e.g., shin guards, helmets, proper shoes). **3. Safety Rules (10 minutes)** - Explain basic safety rules: 1. Always warm-up before playing. 2. Wear the appropriate safety gear. 3. Follow the game rules to prevent injuries. 4. Be aware of your surroundings and other players. **4. Demonstration and Practice (5 minutes)** - Demonstrate how to wear safety gear. - Allow students to practice putting on shin guards and helmets. --- #### **Closure (10 minutes)** - Recap the key points of the lesson. - Ask students to share what they learned about soil, starting up a computer, and safety in football. - Answer any remaining questions. #### **Assessment:** - Observations during activities to ensure students understand the concepts. - Ask students to explain the steps to start a computer or share a safety rule about football. #### **Homework:** - Ask students to draw and label the different types of soil. - Have them practice the steps to start up a family computer (with supervision). - Create a poster showing safety rules for playing football. ---
