CONTENT OF THE LESSON

LESSON 1 – INTRODUCTION TO INSECTS

WHAT ARE INSECTS?

Insects are small animals that belong to a group called arthropods. They are the largest group of animals on Earth.

CHARACTERISTICS OF INSECTS:

1. Have three main body parts: head, thorax, and abdomen
2. Have six legs
3. Have two antennae (feelers)
4. Most have wings (usually two pairs)
5. Have compound eyes
6. Breathe through small holes called spiracles

COMMON EXAMPLES OF INSECTS:

• Butterfly

• Grasshopper

• Ant

• Bee

• Mosquito

• Housefly

• Beetle

• Cricket

LESSON 2 – MEANING OF LIFE CYCLE AND METAMORPHOSIS

LIFE CYCLE

A life cycle is the series of changes that an organism goes through during its lifetime, from birth to death.

METAMORPHOSIS

Metamorphosis is the process of transformation that insects undergo as they develop from egg to adult. It involves major changes in body structure and appearance.

TYPES OF METAMORPHOSIS:

1. Complete Metamorphosis – Has four distinct stages
2. Incomplete Metamorphosis – Has three stages

LESSON 3 – COMPLETE METAMORPHOSIS

Complete metamorphosis has FOUR STAGES:

STAGE 1: EGG

• The female insect lays eggs
• Eggs are usually small and round
• Some eggs are laid singly, others in clusters
• Duration varies from days to weeks

STAGE 2: LARVA

• The young insect hatches from the egg
• Looks completely different from the adult
• Main job is to eat and grow
• Goes through several molts (shedding of skin)
• Examples: caterpillar (butterfly), grub (beetle), maggot (fly)

STAGE 3: PUPA

• The larva forms a protective casing
• Major body changes occur inside
• Does not eat during this stage
• Examples: chrysalis (butterfly), cocoon (moth)

STAGE 4: ADULT

• Fully developed insect emerges
• Has wings and reproductive organs
• Can mate and lay eggs
• Looks completely different from larva

INSECTS WITH COMPLETE METAMORPHOSIS:

• Butterflies and Moths
• Beetles
• Flies
• Bees and Wasps
• Ants

LESSON 4 – INCOMPLETE METAMORPHOSIS

Incomplete metamorphosis has THREE STAGES:

STAGE 1: EGG

• Similar to complete metamorphosis
• Female lays eggs in suitable places

STAGE 2: NYMPH

• Young insect hatches from egg
• Looks similar to adult but smaller
• No wings or only wing buds
• Eats and grows through several molts
• Each molt, it looks more like the adult

STAGE 3: ADULT

• Final molt produces fully grown insect
• Has fully developed wings
• Can reproduce

INSECTS WITH INCOMPLETE METAMORPHOSIS:

• Grasshoppers
• Crickets
• Dragonflies
• Praying Mantis
• True Bugs (like aphids)

LESSON 5 – EXAMPLES OF INSECT LIFE CYCLES

LIFE CYCLE OF A BUTTERFLY (Complete Metamorphosis):

Stage 1: Egg

• Female butterfly lays eggs on leaves
• Eggs are tiny and round
• Takes 3-7 days to hatch

Stage 2: Caterpillar (Larva)

• Hatches as a small caterpillar
• Eats leaves constantly
• Grows bigger and molts several times
• Lasts 2-5 weeks

Stage 3: Chrysalis (Pupa)

• Caterpillar forms a hard casing (chrysalis)
• Body transforms inside
• Takes 1-2 weeks

Stage 4: Adult Butterfly

• Beautiful butterfly emerges
• Has colorful wings
• Can fly and reproduce

LIFE CYCLE OF A GRASSHOPPER (Incomplete Metamorphosis):

Stage 1: Egg

• Female lays eggs in soil
• Eggs survive through winter
• Hatch in spring

Stage 2: Nymph

• Looks like tiny grasshopper without wings
• Molts 5-6 times as it grows
• Develops wing buds after each molt

Stage 3: Adult

• Final molt produces adult with full wings
• Can jump high and fly
• Ready to mate and lay eggs

LESSON 6 – IMPORTANCE OF INSECT LIFE CYCLES

WHY STUDY INSECT LIFE CYCLES?

1. Understanding Nature: Helps us understand how insects grow and develop
2. Pest Control: Knowing life cycles helps control harmful insects
3. Conservation: Helps protect beneficial insects like bees and butterflies
4. Agriculture: Understanding when insects are most vulnerable
5. Scientific Knowledge: Contributes to biological understanding

To deliver the lesson, the teacher adopts the following steps:

1. To introduce the lesson, the teacher revises the previous lesson on animal changes. Based on this, he/she asks the pupils about insects they have seen;
2. Shows pupils pictures of different insects and guides them to identify insect characteristics;

Pupil’s Activities – Observe insect pictures and identify body parts (head, thorax, abdomen, legs, wings).

CONTENT OF THE LESSON

LESSON 1 – MEANING OF SPRINT RACE

WHAT IS A SPRINT RACE?

A sprint race is a short-distance running event where athletes run as fast as possible over a relatively short distance. Sprint races require maximum speed, power, and explosive energy.

CHARACTERISTICS OF SPRINT RACES:

1. Short distances (50m to 400m)
2. Maximum speed throughout the race
3. Explosive start and powerful acceleration
4. High intensity effort
5. Anaerobic energy system (without oxygen)
6. Requires speed, power, and coordination

LESSON 2 – TYPES OF SPRINT RACES

COMMON SPRINT DISTANCES:

1. 50 METERS

• Very short sprint
• Mainly for beginners and youth
• Focuses on acceleration and speed

2. 100 METERS

• The classic sprint distance
• Known as the “fastest human” race
• Requires perfect technique throughout

3. 200 METERS

• Includes a curve in the track
• Combines speed and speed endurance
• Requires strategic pacing

4. 400 METERS

• Longest sprint distance
• One complete lap of the track
• Requires speed endurance and tactical awareness

RELAY SPRINTS:

• 4 x 100m relay
• 4 x 200m relay
• 4 x 400m relay

LESSON 3 – STAGES OF SPRINT RACING

Sprint racing is divided into FIVE MAIN STAGES:

STAGE 1: STARTING

• Getting into the proper starting position
• Responding to starting commands
• First explosive movement

STAGE 2: TAKE-OFF (ACCELERATION)

• First 10-30 meters of the race
• Building up speed from stationary position
• Gradual body position changes

STAGE 3: RUNNING (MAXIMUM SPEED)

• Maintaining top speed
• Efficient running technique
• Optimal stride length and frequency

STAGE 4: ARM ACTION

• Coordinated arm movement throughout
• Helps with balance and speed
• Synchronized with leg action

STAGE 5: FINISHING

• Maintaining speed to the finish line
• Proper finishing technique
• Legal finish according to rules

LESSON 4 – STARTING TECHNIQUES

STARTING POSITIONS:

STANDING START

• Used for beginners and shorter distances
• Feet placed shoulder-width apart
• One foot slightly ahead of the other

• Place hands behind the starting line
• Fingers spread for support
• Strong leg in back block, weak leg in front
• Body weight forward on hands
• Eyes looking down

2. “SET” POSITION:

• Raise hips higher than shoulders
• Weight shifts to hands and front foot

• Hold position until gun sounds
• Focus and prepare for explosive start

3. “GO” (GUN SOUND):

• Drive powerfully with both legs
• Pump arms vigorously
• Stay low for first few steps
• Gradually rise to upright position

LESSON 5 – TAKE-OFF AND ACCELERATION

TAKE-OFF PHASE (First 2-3 steps):

1. Explosive Drive: Push hard against the starting blocks or ground
2. Low Body Position: Stay low with body angled forward
3. Powerful Arm Action: Drive arms back and forth aggressively
4. Short, Quick Steps: Take rapid, driving steps

ACCELERATION PHASE (10-30 meters):

1. Gradual Rise: Slowly bring body to upright position
2. Increasing Stride Length: Steps get longer as speed builds
3. Maintain Power: Continue powerful arm and leg action
4. Build Speed: Progressively increase running speed

KEY POINTS:

• Don’t throw hands or head forward
• Arms and legs don’t count for finishing
• Stay in your lane throughout

LESSON 9 – STARTING COMMANDS

OFFICIAL STARTING COMMANDS:

“RUNNERS TO YOUR MARKS”

• Athletes approach starting line
• Get into starting position
• Prepare for the race

“ON YOUR MARKS”

• Take proper starting position
