• Trowels and shovels
• Safety gloves and goggles
• Measuring tape
• Mixing container or wheelbarrow
• Plastic sheet (to protect surfaces)
• Instruction sheets

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length	Details
1	Introduction	5 min	Introduce the topic and objectives. Discuss the importance of concrete stumps in construction.
2	Safety Briefing	5 min	Review safety protocols, proper use of tools, and personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements.
3	Material Preparation	5 min	Show students how to measure and mix concrete. Demonstrate the correct consistency needed for pouring.
4	Mould Setup	5 min	Guide students in setting up the stump moulds. Discuss the importance of even placement for stability.
5	Pouring Concrete	5 min	Instruct students on pouring the concrete into the moulds, ensuring to eliminate air bubbles.
6	Clean Up	5 min	Review proper cleanup procedures and disposal of excess materials. Ensure students leave the workspace tidy.
7	Homework Assignment	5 min	Assign homework to research different types of concrete stumps and their applications, to be submitted in the next class without presentations.

Assessment

• Observe students during the practical activity for understanding and application of safety measures and techniques.
• Review the homework assignment for comprehension and engagement with the topic.

Conclusion

This lesson will provide students with hands-on experience in using concrete as a building material while ensuring they understand the importance of safety and proper technique in Design and Technology.
