The solar system + Physical fitness + Computer Network
The solar system + Physical fitness + Computer Network
Term: 2nd Term
Week: 4
Class: Primary 6
Age: 11 years
Duration: 40 minutes of 3 periods
Date:
Subject: Basic Science and Technology
Topic:- The solar system
- Physical fitness
- Computer Network
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES: At the end of the lesson, pupils should be able to
INSTRUCTIONAL TECHNIQUES: Identification, explanation, playway method, questions and answers, demonstration, videos from source
INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS: computer system, projector, sound system, charts or pictures of the natural bodies in the solar system, Globe of the earth, Charts on uses of energy, yoga mat, bench dip, paper, glue/gum, scissors, clay, cardboard, stone, duster, ruler, strings, balls of different sizes
INSTRUCTIONAL PROCEDURES
PERIOD 1: The Solar system
PRESENTATION | TEACHER’S ACTIVITY | PUPIL’S ACTIVITY |
STEP 1 INTRODUCTION | The teacher revises the previous lesson on the earth and its movement | Pupils pay attention |
STEP 2 EXPLANATION | The teacher enumerates the natural bodies that could be found in the sky
She highlights the components of the solar system Our solar system consists of our star, the Sun, and everything bound to it by gravity – the planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune; dwarf planets such as Pluto; dozens of moons; and millions of asteroids, comets, and meteoroids. | Pupils pay attention and participates |
STEP 3 DEMONSTRATION | She explains the concept of Gravity and weightlessness in space
Gravity is an invisible force that pulls objects toward each other. Earth's gravity is what keeps you on the ground and what makes things fall.
Weightlessness is condition experienced while in free-fall, in which the effect of gravity is canceled by the inertial (e.g., centrifugal) force resulting from orbital flight. The term zero gravity is often used to describe such a condition.
| Pupils pay attention and participate |
STEP 4 NOTE TAKING | The teacher writes a short note on the board | The pupils copy the note in their books |

Components of the solar system
Our solar system consists of our star, the Sun, and everything bound to it by gravity – the planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune; dwarf planets such as Pluto; dozens of moons; and millions of asteroids, comets, and meteoroids.
The concept of Gravity and weightlessness in space
Gravity is an invisible force that pulls objects toward each other. Earth's gravity is what keeps you on the ground and what makes things fall.
Weightlessness is condition experienced while in free-fall, in which the effect of gravity is canceled by the inertial (e.g., centrifugal) force resulting from orbital flight. The term zero gravity is often used to describe such a condition.
EVALUATION: 1. Enumerate six natural bodies in the sky
CLASSWORK: As in evaluation
CONCLUSION: The teacher commends the pupils positively
PERIOD 2 and 3: Physical fitness. Computer network
PRESENTATION | TEACHEIR’S ACTIVITY | PUPIL’S ACTIVITY |
STEP 1 INTRODUCTION | The teacher revisits the previous lesson on sports facilities and equipment | Pupils pay attention |
STEP 2 EXPLANATION | She further explains what physical fitness is- Physical fitness is the ability of the body to function both effectively and efficiently when performing physical activity without becoming exhausted too quickly.
She then demonstrates the components of physical fitness using various activities 1. Agility: It is defined as the ability to move with speed and ease. Activities that build agility are lateral running, jump box drills etc 2. Endurance: It is the ability to put up with strain, suffering, or hardship. Activities that build endurance are long hike, walking briskly, biking, jumping rope etc 3. Strength: It is how strong one is. Activities that build strength are weight lifting, cycling, push-ups, sit ups etc 4. Flexibility: It is the ability to move the joints freely. Activities that build flexibility are yoga, pilates, stretching etc | Pupils pay attention and participates |
STEP 3 DEMONSTRATION | The teacher lists and explains each computer network 1. PAN (Personal Area Network) is a computer network formed around a person. 2. A local area network (LAN) is a collection of devices connected together in one physical location, such as a building, office, or home. A LAN can be small or large, ranging from a home network with one user to an enterprise network with thousands of users and devices in an office or school. 3. A Metropolitan Area Network or MAN is consisting of a computer network across an entire city, college campus, or a small region. 4. a wide-area network (WAN) is a collection of local-area networks (LANs) or other networks that communicate with one another. A WAN is essentially a network of networks, with the Internet the world's largest WAN. 5. WLAN WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) helps you to link single or multiple devices using wireless communication within a limited area like home, school, or office building. 6. Storage-Area Network (SAN) A Storage Area Network is a type of network which allows consolidated, block-level data storage. She defines and outlines the types of network topology Network topology describes the physical and logical relationship of nodes in a network, the schematic arrangement of the links and nodes, or some hybrid combination thereof. Types of network topology 1. Bus Topology. 2. Ring Topology. 3. Star Topology. 4. Mesh Topology. 5. Tree Topology. 6. Hybrid Topology | Pupils pay attention and participate |
STEP 4 NOTE TAKING | The teacher writes a short note on the board | The pupils copy the note in their books |
