#### **Lesson Breakdown:**
**Introduction (10 minutes)**
1. **Greeting and Welcome:**
- "Good morning, everyone! Today, we're going to learn about how technology has made things better in sports and our health!"
2. **Set the Scene:**
- Show a short video (2-3 minutes) that demonstrates basketball athletes using technological devices for training and performance analysis.
- Ask students: "What are some technologies you saw in the video?"
**Instructional Input (20 minutes)**
1. **Role of Technology in Sports:**
- Discuss how technology has made basketball more interesting and safe. Mention wearable fitness trackers, performance analysis software, and automated scoreboards.
- Ask, "How do you think technology helps basketball players?"
2. **Basic Understanding of Antiviruses:**
- Introduce the concept of computer viruses in a relatable way. "Just like we get sick from germs, computers can get 'sick' from viruses."
- Explain what an antivirus program is and how it protects computers from these viruses.
**Interactive Activities (20 minutes)**
1. **Basketball Activity:**
- Take the students outside for a short basketball drill. Demonstrate how technology could assist them (e.g., using a stopwatch on a smartphone for practice).
- Let students try a few free throws or dribbling with mini challenges. "Imagine if we had a machine here that could tell us how well you're doing and how you can improve!"
2. **Group Work on Antiviruses:**
- Divide students into small groups and give each group an information sheet about antiviruses.
- Ask each group to make a small chart/poster explaining how antiviruses keep computers safe.
- After completing the posters, have a mini-presentation from each group.
**Conclusion (10 minutes)**
1. **Recap Discussion:**
- Summarize the key points of the lesson.
- Question students: "Can anyone tell me one way technology helps in sports and one way an antivirus helps our computers?"
2. **Reflection:**
- Encourage students to think of how technology helps them in their daily lives and write a short sentence or draw a picture depicting this on a sheet of paper.
---
#### **Assessment:**
- **Formative Assessment:** Observe student participation during group activities and basketball drills.
- **Summative Assessment:** Review the charts/posters created by groups and the short sentences/pictures drawn during reflection time to gauge understanding.
---
#### **Homework/Extension:**
- Ask students to write a short paragraph or draw a picture about a piece of technology they use at home or in school.
