Full lesson	Create for a teacher a set of content for giving a lesson, beginning with the lesson plan. Each new block of materials must begin with an H1 heading (other subheaders must be H2, H3, etc). When you describe required pictures, write those descriptions in curly brackets, for example: {A picture of a triangle}

• Magnifying glasses
• Worksheets for classification activity
• Whiteboard and markers
• Projector and screen (if available)
• Safety goggles (if necessary for material exploration)

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length	Details
1	Introduction	5 minutes	Briefly introduce the topic of materials. Discuss examples of materials students encounter daily.
2	Group Exploration	10 minutes	Divide students into small groups. Allow them to explore and observe different material samples using magnifying glasses.
3	Group Discussion	5 minutes	Groups share observations about the properties of the materials they've explored (e.g., hard, soft, transparent).
4	Classification Activity	5 minutes	Distribute worksheets. Students individually classify materials into categories (natural vs. synthetic).
5	Review and Recap	5 minutes	Review the answers as a class. Discuss the importance of understanding materials and their properties.
6	Conclusion & Homework Assignment	5 minutes	Summarize the lesson and explain the homework task (categorizing materials at home).
