Procedure
(Science Lesson Plan-Planning for Inquiry6E Model)
BEFORE:
We will ask the students what they
think weather is and eventually play a
short video describing it and its key
components (Engage & E-Learning).
After we are done with the short video we
will then proceed to go over the statement
of learning as a class. Once we are
finished establishing the statement of
learning we will then review the
vocabulary worksheet that leads us into
the PowerPoint (Engage).
DURING:
We will begin the lesson with the
power point and midway through we are
going to start our first experiment. The
class will be divided into two separate
groups, one group will be with Ms.
Plucker and the second group will be with
Ms. M. As Ms. Plucker does an
experiment and explains how a cloud is
made to her group of students (group A),
Ms. M will do a different experiment and
explain the different types of clouds to her
group of students (group B). Both groups
will have a worksheet to complete during
and after the experiment (Explanation &
Evaluation). As soon as the two groups
are both finished with their experiments
and mini lessons, they will rotate making
to so group A will now be with Ms. M and
group B will now be with Ms. Plucker
(Exploration). After both groups have
carried out both experiments we will
return to the rest of the PowerPoint. Once
we have finished the PowerPoint we will
