Lesson Development Eliciting the ideas ( 15 minutes) Identify some of the limitations to the human's abilities. Eg : Cannot memorise many things in one time, cannot see far and small 3. Teacher hang one ball for about 3 meter high at one corner of the class and ask students to jump and catch the ball. 4. Teacher write one sentence at the white board and ask pupils to read it from 3 meter, 4 meter and 5 meter far. 5. Teacher write down five the whiteboard and ask pupils to remember it. Materials : One ball, 1meter long of string, masker tape and meter ruler. Values : Honest in and making inference.

Teacher discuss together with the pupils about the important of technology in transportation, communication, construction and agriculture. 8. Teacher ask for the pupils ideas about the devices used to overcome human's limitations and write down it on the white board. 9. Teacher distribute worksheet B and asked pupils to answer the questions based on the example of devices on the white board. Scientific skills : Observing, Classifying. Worksheet A

Application of ideas ( 20 minutes)

The manipulation of the some technology devices.

10. Teacher ask pupils to form 5 groups and supply them with one binoculars and 3 magnifying glass per each group.

Materials : Binoculars, magnifying glass.

11. Pupils need to manipulate the things by looking at the sentence at the whiteboard and also make outside the classroom. 12. Teacher ask pupils to express their feelings after manipulate the things and relate it to the situations before while they are doing the activities without use of the technology devices. Scientific skills : Using space-time relationship, Making inference, Interpreting data.

Worksheet B Values : while sharing the instruments with the other friends. Be honest while collecting the data.

observation of the far and tiny objects Tolerance

Closure ( 10 minutes)

The importance of technology in daily life.

13. Teacher asked pupils to reflect on their overall activities on that day and ask for their reflection about what they have learnt about the technology.
