### Lesson Plan: Basic Science and Technology for Primary 1 Students
**Topic:** Water (Uses) & Introduction to Computer Parts (CPU)
**Duration:** 45 minutes
**Learning Objectives:**
1. Students will be able to identify and describe different uses of water.
2. Students will be introduced to basic computer parts, focusing on the CPU.
---
### **Lesson Activities:**
**1. Introduction (5 minutes)**
- **Greeting:** Welcome the students and take attendance.
- **Objective Sharing:** Explain to the students that they will learn about the various uses of water and the basic parts of a computer, specifically the CPU.
---
**2. Water (Uses) (20 minutes)**
- **Discussion (5 minutes):** Start with a simple question to engage students: "What do you use water for?"
- Drinking
- Washing (hands, clothes, dishes)
- Bathing
- Cooking
- Watering plants
- Cleaning the house
- **Activity (10 minutes): Matching Game**
- Distribute pictures showing different uses of water.
- Ask students to match the pictures with the correct use (e.g., a picture of someone drinking water should be matched to "Drinking").
- You can use a board or a wall for students to stick their matched pictures.
- **Song (5 minutes):** Teach a simple song about water and its uses. For example:
```
(Tune: "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star")
Water, Water, we need you,
For drinking, cleaning, cooking too.
For plants, for baths, for washing hands,
You're important, do you understand?
Water, Water, we need you,
For drinking, cleaning, cooking too.
```

**3. Introduction to CPU (15 minutes)**
- **Explanation (5 minutes):** Use simple terms to introduce the concept of a computer and its basic parts.
- Computer: A machine that we use to help us with tasks like writing, drawing, and playing games.
- CPU (Central Processing Unit): The "brain" of the computer. It helps the computer think and do tasks.
- **Show and Tell (5 minutes):**
- Show a simple image or real-life example of a computer and point out the CPU.
- Explain how the CPU is like our brain that helps us think and make decisions.
- **Activity (5 minutes): CPU Drawing**
- Provide drawing sheets with the outline of a computer and ask students to color and label the CPU.
- Encourage them to write "CPU" on the part of the drawing that represents it.

**4. Conclusion (5 minutes)**
- **Recap:**
- Ask students to share one use of water they learned about today.
- Ask a few students to explain what the CPU does in a computer.
- **Homework Assignment:**
- Draw a picture at home showing one use of water and bring it to the next class.
- **Closing:**
- Appreciate their participation and enthusiasm.
- Sing the water song together one more time before the class ends.
**5. Clean Up and Farewell (5 minutes)**
- Organize materials and ensure the classroom is tidy.
- Say goodbye and remind students to think about the uses of water they notice at home.
---
**Materials Needed:**
- Pictures depicting various uses of water.
- Drawing sheets and coloring materials.
- A simple image or model of a computer showing the CPU.
- Adhesive material (sticky notes or tape) for the matching game.
---
**Assessment:**
- Observe students' participation in discussions and activities.
- Evaluate the drawing and labeling of the CPU during the activity.
- Check homework submissions to see if students can identify a use of water independently.

**Notes for Teacher:**
- Be patient and use simple language suitable for Primary 1 students.
- Offer plenty of encouragement and praise to build confidence.
- Be flexible with timing, based on students' engagement and understanding.
