Lesson Plan for Primary 2 - Basic Science and Technology - The Senses - Taste + Features Of A Cpu + Athletics

### Lesson Plan for Basic Science and Technology (Primary 2) #### Topic: The Senses - Taste, Features of a CPU, and Athletics --- #### Objective: 1. Understand the sense of taste and how it works. 2. Learn about the basic features of a CPU (Central Processing Unit). 3. Discuss basic athletics and the importance of exercise. --- ### 1. Introduction (5 minutes) - **Greeting:** Welcome the students warmly. - **Objectives Outline:** Briefly explain what they will learn about today: the sense of taste, features of a CPU in a computer, and some basic athletics activities. --- ### 2. The Senses - Taste (20 minutes) #### Materials: - Various food items (e.g., lemon, sugar, salt, chocolate, etc.) - Paper and crayons #### Activities: 1. **Discussion:** - Ask students what they know about the five senses. - Introduce the sense of taste. Explain that the tongue is the main organ involved in tasting. 2. **Experiment:** - Have students close their eyes and taste different food items. - Ask them to describe the taste (sweet, sour, salty, bitter) and guess what the food item is. 3. **Worksheet:** - Provide a simple worksheet with pictures of the tongue and taste areas. - Have students color the different areas where you might taste sweet, salty, sour, and bitter. #### Wrap-up: - Summarize by explaining how the tongue can detect different flavors and send these signals to the brain. --- ### 3. Features of a CPU (20 minutes) #### Materials: - Poster or picture of a computer (with visible CPU) - Diagram of a CPU with labeled parts #### Activities: 1. **Introduction:** - Introduce the concept of a computer and what a CPU does (the brain of the computer). 2. **Explanation:** - Use the poster/diagram to show the CPU. - Describe the basic features of a CPU: - **Processor:** The part that performs calculations and actions. - **Memory:** Where data is temporarily stored. - **Input/Output:** Interfaces to connect with other devices. 3. **Discussion:** - Ask students if they use computers and what they use them for. - Explain how a CPU helps them play games, learn, or watch videos. #### Wrap-up: - Recap the main features of a CPU and its importance in making computers work. --- ### 4. Athletics (20 minutes) #### Materials: - Open space (playground or school hall) - Cones for marking positions - Whistle (optional) #### Activities: 1. **Discussion:** - Explain what athletics is and list some activities (running, jumping, throwing, etc.) - Discuss the importance of exercise and staying healthy. 2. **Warm-up:** - Lead the students in a simple warm-up (stretching, light jogging). 3. **Activity:** - Set up a simple obstacle course using cones. - Divide students into small groups and have them complete the course (e.g., running to a cone, hopping to another, and sprinting back). 4. **Cool-down:** - After the activity, lead students in a cool-down session (slow walking, deep breathing). #### Wrap-up: - Emphasize the fun and benefits of athletics, like staying healthy and working as a team. --- ### 5. Conclusion and Q&A (5 minutes) - Recap the day’s lessons. - Allow students to ask questions about any of the topics covered. - Reward participation with stickers or small treats. --- ### Assessment: - Observe student participation and understanding during activities. - Collect and review worksheets for the taste lesson. --- ### Extension Activities: - Create a “taste diary” for students to take home and record different tastes they experience. - Have a drawing or coloring contest on the theme of “Computers and Their Parts.” - Organize a small intra-class athletics competition in the future. --- #### Additional Notes: - Ensure that all food items used in the taste activity are checked for allergies. - Keep the athletics activity safe and appropriate for the age group. - Be inclusive and ensure all students are engaged and participating.
