1. **Explanation**: Discuss the various forms of technology used in different aspects of life (e.g., communication, transportation, education).
2. **Display Examples**: Show pictures or actual items and explain their uses.
3. **Class Activity**: Have students work in pairs to identify technologies they use at home or school. Each pair shares one example with the class.
### Part 2: Operating Systems (20 minutes)
1. **Introduction**: Define an operating system in simple terms.
2. **Examples and Demonstration**: Show different devices and their operating systems (e.g., a computer with Windows, a tablet with iOS, and a smartphone with Android).
3. **Class Discussion**: Ask students if they know which operating systems their home devices use.
4. **Interactive Activity**: Let a few students come up and use the interactive whiteboard or a tablet to navigate an operating system.
### Part 3: Athletics - Sprint Races (15 minutes)
1. **Explanation**: Explain what a sprint race is and mention the key aspects (starting position, running as fast as possible, and finishing line).
2. **Rules**: Brief the students on the rules of a sprint race.
3. **Warm-Up Exercises**: Lead the class in a few warm-up exercises to prevent injuries.
### Activity: Sprint Race (20 minutes)
1. **Setup**: Use cones or marking tape to set up a short sprint race track.
2. **Race**: Organize students into groups and conduct sprint races. Use a stopwatch to time each race.
3. **Encouragement**: Cheer for students and encourage positive sportsmanship.
4. **Awards**: Hand out small prizes or certificates to participants to celebrate their effort.
