Lesson Plan /Mahere Ako

Learning Intention:

Over the next 3 Science lessons we will be learning

about chemical reaction that happens when an acid and
a base are mixed together. Then we will do an
experiment to see the chemical reaction with sherbet.

1. Assessment data

2. The childrens learning

State the Learning Intentions you assessed.

From observations, and interactions with students I
was able to make changes to my unit to ensure I was
pitching my teaching at the correct level for the next
day,

Using your assessment information, state how well

the children developed this understanding and what
was indicating this?

List the assessment methods actually used to assess

childrens learning.

The BEST learning activity was

Making the sherbet

Pre assessment worksheet, then students re do

that sheet at end of unit, as well as a self-assessment
sheet, obervations, discussions with students
because
The children could experience the chemical
reaction
Explain how the assessment evidence demonstrates
the childrens development of the big understanding?

What strategies did you use to engage your

learners

I gave out a pre assessment worksheet asking

questions about acids, bases and chemical change to
see what they already know. Then at the end of the
unit, I gave them the same sheet again to see how
their answers differed from the first sheet.
I also handed out a worksheet what I think about
science where students had to circle some answers
on their thoughts towards science.

YouTube clips, PowerPoint with pictures and

games

The assessment evidence analysis is collated

(where?).

What surprised you during your teaching of

the unit? Explain why.

After collecting in the pre assessment worksheet, I

need to start from the start and explain what an acid
and a base is, with examples also explaining what a
chemical change/reaction is. Students indicated they

During the acid and bases lesson most of the

students were really into it asking a lot of really good
questions, that I couldnt always answer so re

Highlight the significant aspects for you from the

list below, and add specific comment for the two you
have highlighted
Sequencing of the learning
Overall planning
Level of preparedness
Use of voice
Management of the learning
Organisation of the
learners/resources
Interaction with the learners
ie the quality of the
conversation
Feedback to the learners

Responsiveness to individual
needs
Questioning
Flexibility ie teaching the
children not the plan
Knowing the learning focus
rather than busy work
Being aware of teaching the
essential skills
Using assessment to improve
the learning throughout
the unit

all prefer doing the experiment themselves, so I need

to find some more activities to do throughout my
other lessons so there isnt too much sitting, writing
and listening.
