The students will gain skills in reading and creating maps, as well as coding with Beebots.Day 1: Introduction to Maps1. Objective: Understand the concept of maps and their importance in representing the world.2. The Students will understand: :Maps represent our world.Maps show locations in communities.3. Schedule: Introduction (10 mins):Read the story “Me on the Map” Me On The Map - Read AlondDiscuss what maps are and why they are important.Chat with an AI Bot Activity (20 mins):Use the website with students to interact with the AI bot to learn about maps and different locations. (What is a map, Where is your favourite place? How far is it from your home, etc.) https://mizou.com/preview-bot?ID=33841Explore the maps. (10 mins)Show the World map & local Macao map (on the screen & paper maps).Share how we can navigate through a grid on the map.Encourage students to find their favourite places/countries on the Macao map and World map.Discuss and compare the distances between their favourite places on the local map (use a ruler/string to measure the distance).Reflection and Discussion (10 mins):Students will share what they learned about maps.Discuss how maps help us find our way.Discuss how far they are from their home and school/favourite places.4. Assessment: Children will show interest in different maps and try to find places they have visited on the local area map.Day 2: Understanding and Creating Maps1. Objective: Learn to identify symbols on maps and create a simple neighbourhood map.

Fun with Scratch Jr - for Grade 1 This 60-minute interactive session, designed for Grade 1 students of the Kerala State Board, introduces young learners to the basics of Scratch Jr. through an engaging exploration of animals and their sounds. The session combines hands-on learning with technology by encouraging students to create simple animations of animals using Scratch Jr., where each animal "speaks" and makes its respective sound. Students will learn to add sprites, use looks and say blocks, and record sounds within the Scratch Jr. platform. Additionally, they will complete a worksheet to reinforce their understanding of animal recognition and spelling. By the end of the session, students will have developed foundational programming skills while also enhancing their knowledge of animal sounds and spelling, all within a fun, interactive learning environment. This session promotes creativity, collaboration, and technological fluency at an early age.Refer the ppt and worksheet 

This is a lesson about renewable energy, that investigates deeper on what wind energy is, how it's produced, and why it is important for our environment.

Learning Standards: Science 4-PS1-1: Plan and conduct investigations to describe and classify different kinds of materials by their observable properties. 4-PS1-2: Analyze data obtained from testing different materials to determine which materials have the properties that are best suited for an intended purpose. 4-PS1-3: Ask questions and predict outcomes about the changes in materials when different materials interact. Technology Information and Communication Technologies (ICT): Using Digital Media and Environments 4-T.6: Use digital tools (e.g., computers) to access and retrieve information relevant to specific tasks. Math Measurement and Data 4.MD.1: Know relative sizes of measurement units within one system of units including km, m, cm; kg, g; lb, oz.; l, ml; hr, min, sec. Within a single system of measurement, express measurements in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. Record measurement equivalents in a two-column table.

Topic: We are going to Mars!Age of students: 9 years oldIntroductionThe Solar System, still concealing many mysteries, stimulates the human imagination. The lesson is a part of a wider project. The implementation of the project aims to learn the names, positions of planets, and interesting information about the Solar System. Through participation in classes, students will have the chance to compare the sizes of planets.The proposal includes many methods that provide opportunities to activate students and take into account the skills of each child. During the project implementation, various teaching aids and multimedia tools are used, such as a computer with internet access, so that students can develop the ability to independently search for information and critically analyze it.The lesson will be mutlidisciplany, it will  involve science, technology, interactive tools.Aims:Project objectives for the student:Lists the planets in order – from those closest to the Sun to the farthest planet in the Solar System.Describes the properties of each planet: its composition, the number of days it takes to orbit the Sun, and its size in relation to other planets.Organizes and interprets information obtained from various sources about the Solar System.Designs an animation of the Solar System using presentation software.Creates a model of the Solar System, taking into account the proportions of the planets.Lesson objectives for 50 minutes:- Deepening and consolidating knowledge about the Solar System and planets;-Understanding the scale of the cosmos ; - Ability to use acquired information to create a simple art installation;-work in groups Procedure1.Warm-up: Ask the students a controversial question and have a short discuusion, let them be creative. The question:"If you had a giant playground and could line up all the planets from the smallest to the biggest, where do you think Earth would be? And which planet do you think would have the most fun attractions on its playground?"2. Teacher watches a short film  with students , created by National Geographic, an asks the kids to remeber one , the most interesting information about our planets and solar system.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=libKVRa01L83, Teacher collects the answers.Presentation
