## Lesson Plan: Basic Science and Technology
### Topic: Form of Technology I + Software Application + Athletics - Sprint Races
### Grade: Primary 3
---
### Objectives:
By the end of the lesson, students should be able to:
1. Identify various forms of technology.
2. Understand the basic principles of software applications.
3. Learn about different types of athletic sprint races and their rules.
4. Apply technology concepts to the context of athletics.
### Materials:
- Interactive whiteboard or projector
- Computer or tablet with internet access
- Sprint race videos
- Chart paper and markers
- Printed worksheets
- Stopwatch or timer
- Cones or markers to set up a mini race track
### Lesson Structure:
1. **Introduction (10 minutes)**
- **Ice Breaker:** Begin with a quick discussion about what technology is and ask students to name any forms of technology they use at home or see in their daily lives.
- **Objective Highlight:** Explain the objectives of the lesson, mentioning that technology and athletics are linked in many ways.
2. **Forms of Technology I (15 minutes)**
- **Explanation:** Discuss different forms of technology (e.g., simple tools like scissors, complex machines like computers, communication devices like phones).
- **Activity:** Show pictures of various technology forms and ask students to identify and group them (e.g., communication tools, informational tools).
3. **Introduction to Software Applications (15 minutes)**
- **Explanation:** Introduce basic software applications (e.g., educational apps, games, Microsoft Paint, simple coding apps like Scratch).
- **Activity:** Demonstrate a simple educational software application and show how it can be used to learn new things. Allow students to take turns using the software for a brief period.
4. **Athletics: Sprint Races (15 minutes)**
- **Explanation:** Explain what sprint races are and the different distances they cover (e.g., 50 meters, 100 meters).
- **Video Demonstration:** Show a brief video of a professional sprint race to illustrate speed, technique, and rules.
- **Discussion:** Discuss the importance of rules in athletic events such as staying in lanes, starting signals, and finishing lines.
5. **Technology in Athletics (15 minutes)**
- **Integration Activity:** Discuss how technology is used in athletics (e.g., timekeeping devices, starting blocks, fitness tracking apps).
- **Practical Demonstration:** Set up a mini sprint race track using cones. Use a stopwatch or timer to measure sprint performance. Explain how athletes use such technology to improve their performance.
6. **Worksheet Activity (10 minutes)**
- Provide printed worksheets that include pictures of different technologies, basic questions about the software application they saw, and questions related to sprint races.
7. **Closing and Review (10 minutes)**
- **Recap:** Summarize the key points covered in the lesson.
- **Q&A:** Open the floor for any questions the students might have.
- **Homework:** Ask students to draw and label a picture of their favorite form of technology and write one sentence about how it helps people.
