Lesson Planning in Science

Planning a lesson is a thinking skill that every student teacher must have. They have to design what they
are going to do in order to give the lesson in teaching and learning process. According to Scrivener (2005:109), a
written plan is the concrete result that student teacher has done thinking. Lesson plan is one of the important
things that teacher must have before teaching. This is the result of the thinking process that student teacher has
done. The content of the lesson plan will be useful for the teacher in guiding them to teach the student such as
materials, learning objectives, procedure, time allocation, assessment, and resources. In teaching process there
may happen unpredictable situation that make lesson plan difficult to be implemented such as the time availability,
the students’ condition, and classroom condition. In this situation teacher will do some efforts to make it match with
what is expected by the teacher according to the lesson plan.

Answer the following:

1. Write ten objectives of lesson plans using ten different behavioral terms.
At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:

1. Identify the structural components of the genetic material;

2. Explain why DNA is identified as the molecule of heredity;
3. Give the importance of DNA in the transmission of traits;
4. Demonstrate the significance of recombinant DNA;
5. Illustrate the structure of the DNA using graphic organizer.
6. Discuss the difference between physical and chemical change;
7. Appreciate the importance of the knowledge on physical and chemical change in our life
through citing its applications in our community; and
8. Write at least 5 examples of chemical and physical changes of matter.
9. Identify the structural parts of a typical cell; and
10. Compare and contrast the structures of a plant and animal cell.

2. Go over a science book. How did you find the sequencing of the topic? Was it easy to follow
considering the level of difficulty from one topic to the next? - The sequence of the content
standards is not arbitrary: Each standard subsumes the knowledge and skills of other
standards. Students' understandings and abilities are grounded in the experience of inquiry,
and inquiry is the foundation for the development of understandings and abilities of the other
content standards. The personal and social aspects of science are emphasized increasingly
in the progression from science as inquiry standards to the history and nature of science
standards. Students need solid knowledge and understanding in physical, life, and earth and
space science if they are to apply science.

3. In lessons you have planned before, what contributing factors have you considered? –
Content - It is important for you to research the subject matter that you will be teaching. You
should also utilize curriculum guides published by the state in which you teach and the local
school district that employs you. It is also a good idea to know the national standards and
state standards that drive curriculum in each subject area that you are responsible for.
4. Which of the three objectives-knowledge, skills and values have you achieved better than the
other? Discuss why. - For me is the knowledge, I believe that if you have the knowledge your
skills and values are automatically utilized.

5. Which step in the preparation of a lesson plan do you find difficulty in? Why do you say so?
How do you help yourself? – Evaluation: because in making evaluation you need to think what
is the best activities that you give to your students and to sure that everybody will be
interesting in. I help myself by thinking that I am one of the students who are answering the
activity.

6. Do you have Internet, books and other references? In what aspect of your planning could they
be of big help? - Computers save time and help you organize material more easily when it
comes to lesson planning. There are also lesson-planning apps and websites you can use to
make your life much easier when typing up and organizing your lessons. You can also search
the web for existing ideas that you can adapt and use to integrate technology into your own
classroom. Major use of the Internet has been to provide free public access to documents in
electronic form. Many individuals and organizations "post" documents on their own computers
so that others can obtain electronic copies (without need for special accounts and
passwords). File transfers can be made by FTP (file transfer protocol) software, and for many
who have posted documents to their Web pages (see below), file transfers can be initiated by
as little as the click of a button on the title of the document.

7. How do you determine the assignment you will require them to accomplish? - First, you will
need to articulate the purpose of the assignment. Even though you know why the assignment
is important and what it is meant to accomplish, you cannot assume that your students will
intuit that purpose. Your students will appreciate an understanding of how the assignment fits
into the larger goals of the course and what they will learn from the process. Being
transparent with your students and explaining why you are asking them to complete a given
assignment can ultimately help motivate them to complete the assignment more thoughtfully.

8. Do you provide enrichment activities for fast learners? How about to slow learners? - Provide
peer tutors for students needing remediation. Peer tutoring can be an effective ally to your
teaching objectives, especially when tutors are assigned so that everyone being tutored also
has responsibility for being a tutor. The learner needing help is not singled out and has a
stake in making the idea work, because his or her pride is on the line, both as a learner and
as a tutor.

9. Briefly discuss how you start and end a lesson. State the topic and your methodology. - Find
out what your students already know or think about a topic with a question. There are so
many ways to do this: ask the whole class, encourage small group discussions, write it on the
board and ask students to do a quick write, or try using a poll. Teacher explains how he uses
technology to build communication skills in his class, including warming up his students for
academic discussions with polls. No matter which method you try, questions are a great way
to get your students thinking.

10. How should a daily lesson plan be evaluated? - By giving activity that is related to the topic
that I’ve discussed. In this way, I am able to know if the strategy that I used is effective or not.
And also to know if they really understand the lesson.
