### Lesson Structure:
#### Introduction (10 minutes)
1. **Greeting**: Welcome students warmly to the class.
2. **Learning Goals**: Briefly explain what will be covered in today’s class.
#### Section 1: Soil - Types (20 minutes)
1. **Introduction to Soil**:
- Ask students if they know what soil is and where they see it.
- Discuss the importance of soil in our daily lives (growing plants, habitat for animals, construction, etc.).
2. **Types of Soil**:
- Show samples of different soil types: sand, clay, and loam.
- Pass around the samples for students to observe and feel.
- Use magnifying glasses to help them see the texture closely.
3. **Characteristics and Uses**:
- Explain the characteristics of each type of soil (color, texture, retention capacity).
- Discuss the uses of each type (e.g., sand in construction, clay for pottery, loam for gardening).
4. **Activity**:
- Group students and have them sort soil samples based on their characteristics.
#### Section 2: Uses of Special Keys (15 minutes)
1. **Introduction to Keys**:
- Show different types of keys (house keys, car keys, etc.).
- Ask if students have seen these keys at home and what they are used for.
2. **Demonstration**:
- Demonstrate how each key works and its purpose.
- Emphasize the importance of keeping keys safe.
3. **Activity**:
- Give each student a flashcard with a picture of an object (e.g., door, car) and have them match it with the corresponding key.
#### Section 3: Long Jump (20 minutes)
1. **Introduction**:
- Explain what the long jump is and show a short video or demonstrate it if possible.
2. **Technique and Safety**:
- Teach the basic technique: run-up, take-off, and landing.
- Emphasize safety: proper landing techniques to avoid injury.
3. **Practice Time**:
- Take students to the long jump area.
- Mark out a starting line and a landing area.
- Allow students to practice individually, guiding them on their technique.
4. **Measurement and Fun**:
- Use the measuring tape to mark each student's jump.
- Celebrate each jump, encouraging a fun and supportive environment.

### Conclusion (5 minutes)
1. **Recap**: Briefly go over the key points covered - types of soil and their uses, special keys, and long jump techniques.
2. **Questions and Answers**: Open the floor for any questions students might have.
3. **Closing**: Praise the students for their participation and effort. Give any homework or follow-up activities if needed.
### Assessment:
- Observe students’ participation and understanding during activities.
- Ask questions to gauge their comprehension.
- Provide oral feedback and encouragement.
### Homework/Follow-Up Activity:
- Ask students to draw and label the three types of soil they learned about today.
- Have them write a sentence about one key they use at home and what it opens.
- For physical activity, ask them to practice jumping safely at home or in the playground.
