Lesson : Our Moon
Pages: 316-317
Context of the lesson
For this lesson, I am going to do the 5 E’s. For the engage the teacher will do imagine that they going to
space especially to the moon and show them a picture of Neil the first person how to walk on the moon. In
the explore the teacher will model and she will do an experiment for them. For the explain part The teacher
will put 6 different question on board and she will give each question for each group and then she will play
the video for them. Then the student will see the video and they will Write a note about the video and each
group will explain their topic to another group. Next part is Elaborate and the teacher will give each student a
worksheet then they will discuss with each other. For the last part is Evaluate and they will play a game
called " gallows" the teacher will draw a 6 gallows on board so she will ask the question to review and make
sure they understand the lesson. If some of the group answer wrong the teacher will draw for them a part of
the person such as (head, body, legs and hands).

Teaching goal
My goal for this lesson to deliver the lesson for the students in a different way and to make the students
understand the first person to walk on Earth moon. Earth-moon is the largest and brightest object in the night
sky. And why the moon is largest. The moon has no air, wind or liquid water. We see the moon because of
light from the sun reflects from it and back to earth.
Learning objectives
By the end of the lesson the student will be able to :
1- Know the first person how walk on the moon.
2- Why the moon shine.
3- The pull of the earth gravity keeps the moon in its orbit around Earth,

Assumptions about prior learning

Grade four will be able know about the moon.
Anticipated problems and possible solutions
If the students will be late of the lesson and this will take time I will not do all the activity I will delete
something in the lesson. And if I faced a technology problem I will make a circle and show them the video.
Personal focus for this lesson
During the lesson I am going to monitor the groups and observing how students are working.
Target language Teacher language

Consider these grouping strategies: Consider where the children are working
Most of the activity will be in ( group and individual) There is a no different area in the classroom so the
students will work on their desk.

Planning Stages Within the 5-E Inquiry Model

Engage
PURPOSE:
 to convey the context of the lesson(s)/unit by conveying an important Key Question
 to engage students in investigations that reveal their thinking to themselves and the teacher
 to record the initial ideas of students
 to engage their interest
Key Question:

Questions for whole group discussion:

1- The teacher welcoming the students by saying:
Hello my students, Good morning, How are you, 1- Answering the teacher when she welcoming

6.The teacher will give each group a paper that
written on it the name of the first person how walk
on the moon and the font of the name of the person
will be too much small and also the teacher will
give each group a magnifying glass to discover.
7- Then the teacher will show them the picture
about the Neil and what he said about when was on
the moon.

Explore
PURPOSE:
 to test ideas and develop knowledge using explorations, investigations, experiments
 to modify and record ideas as they change due to activities
 to develop new questions and testable hypotheses

Reflection:

This my second observation and I should develop the notice that the MST and MCT give to me. So, as usual, I start
my lesson with welcoming the students, remind them about the classroom rules and reward system to be able to
manage them and do not misbehave on the classroom. After that I did the imagination time to let the students be
excited so I give each student a sticky note and I ask the students to close their eyes and imagine that they going to
space especially to the moon and I switch off the light also I put soft music, after that I ask them what you would see
in the moon. So the students give me a random question and most of them they answer me correctly but I was
surprised that 1 students give me the correct answer that I want it. Next, I was given the students a small paper
including a name of the first person went to the moon with small font and also I give them a magnifying glass to let
them see the name so I was in this activity using the magnifying glass incorrect way. For the explore part I was doing
an experiment and it was good for them and they understand it and they like it but there is a problem that I faced, that
the materials that I used for the experiment are small so the students were standing up to see what I do. For the next
part, I was putting 6 different question on board and I was given each question for each group and then they will
search the answer on their book after finish they will explain for their classmate. And I was not written that in the
lesson plan but the student they like it and they were asking me to give them more time but I didn't because most of
them finish just one group. For the next activity I give them a worksheet it was we will do in the classroom but there is
no time because I want to do last activity with them so I was given it to do it as homework.
