SINGLE SUBJECT CREDENTIAL PROGRAM

LESSON PLAN FORMAT

Last Revised: August 10, 2014
Directions: The lesson plan functions as a guide map to your instruction. Deliberately choose several strategies/scaffolds that will
help to guide your students through your lesson. Identify the estimated time frames for each activity in the Lesson Introduction,
Body, and Closure sections. After considering the needs of the majority of your students, remember to consider the specific needs
of striving readers, English learners, students with learning needs, and advanced students. This will help you with pacing and
delivery of the lesson. Develop the structure of notes, if you will lecture; the directions for any activities; and details about the
examples you will use, if appropriate; and place at the end of the lesson plan along with any handouts that will be used.
Note: The boxes in the format will expand as it is a Word document.

HS-PS2-1.
ANALYZE DATA TO
SUPPORT THE CLAIM THAT
NEWTONS SECOND LAW OF
MOTION DESCRIBES THE
MATHEMATICAL
RELATIONSHIP AMONG THE
NET FORCE ON A
MACROSCOPIC OBJECT, ITS
MASS, AND ITS
ACCELERATION.
[CLARIFICATION STATEMENT:
EXAMPLES OF DATA COULD
INCLUDE TABLES OR GRAPHS

AS A FUNCTION OF TIME FOR
OBJECTS SUBJECT TO A NET
UNBALANCED FORCE, SUCH
AS A FALLING OBJECT, AN
OBJECT ROLLING DOWN A
RAMP, OR A MOVING OBJECT
BEING PULLED BY A
CONSTANT FORCE.]
[ASSESSMENT BOUNDARY:
ASSESSMENT IS LIMITED TO
ONE-DIMENSIONAL MOTION
AND TO MACROSCOPIC
OBJECTS MOVING AT NONRELATIVISTIC SPEEDS.]

HS-PS2-2.

USE
MATHEMATICAL
REPRESENTATIONS TO
SUPPORT THE CLAIM THAT
THE TOTAL MOMENTUM OF A
SYSTEM OF OBJECTS IS
CONSERVED WHEN THERE IS
NO NET FORCE ON THE
SYSTEM. [CLARIFICATION
STATEMENT: EMPHASIS IS
ON THE QUANTITATIVE
CONSERVATION OF
MOMENTUM IN
INTERACTIONS AND THE
QUALITATIVE MEANING OF
THIS PRINCIPLE.]

Informal, EL

This assessment
will be used to
check for prior
knowledge and
ability to critically
think

Informal PM

This assessment is
intended to
monitor student
progression and
assess the level of
understanding
during lesson

The assessment
will be given to the
class, students will
be asked to predict
what will happen
during
demonstrations
This assessment
will be
administered
during the reading,
the class will be
asked questions
pertaining to the
lecture to check
for understanding

Students with
correct answers
will be identified
and the teacher
will build upon
answers

This will allow the

teacher to assess
the starting point
of the lesson, and
to see what areas
will need attention

Student answers will be

corrected and correct
answers will be
expanded upon

This will allow the

teacher to assess
the understanding
of the class,
knowing whether
the style of
teaching is
working and
whether the pace
or style needs to
be modified

ENGLISH

STRIVING READERS

LEARNERS

English learners will be

seated with a student of the
same language and will be
allowed to ask this student for
translations and for help
during the reading. The
student will also be
encouraged to use a vocab list
and to look up new words in
the dictionary or online.
The instructions for
annotating and tips for
interpreting text will help
striving readers. These
students will be allowed extra
time and to take the reading
home to complete if
necessary

IDENTIFIED
SPECIAL NEEDS

Students with identified needs

will be assisted in accordance
with their individual needs

are struggling with concepts

RATIONALE SECTION: THIS LESSON IS INTENDED TO TEACH STUDENTS HOW TO NEGOTIATE AND
OBTAIN INFORMATION FROM A SCIENTIFIC TEXT. THE DEMONSTRATION AND EL ASSESMENT AT
THE BEGINNING WILL GIVE THE TEACHER AN IDEA OF THE CLASSS PRIOR UNDERSTANDING OF
THE TOPIC AND WHAT WILL NEED ATTENTION. THE READING IS FAIRLY EASY AND ALL
STUDENTS SHOULD BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE MAIN IDEAS AND KEY POINTS. THE STUDENTS
WILL ALSO KEEP THE INSTRUCTIONS ON ANNOTATING SO THAT THEY CAN USE THIS STRATEGY
THROUGHOUT THEIR EDUCATION.
