What the Science

Teacher does.

What the
Students do.

The teacher said Good morning

students how are today?

The students
responded Good
morning MS, Nina, we
are fine how about you.

I think that the teacher must make

sure all students ready to greeting.

The teacher introduced the lesson

for students is about investigating
how can polluted water be
changed.

As I observed, the
students pay attention
to explore what they
will learn,

Next, the teacher indicated

learning objective for students
what must achieve it at the end
was to investigate how can
polluted water be changed.

Next, the students

realize that what must
able to achieve it.

Well, in my point of view, the

teacher should try to write more
than once learning objective. The
teacher can stick on this aim, but
she can create other aim related to
basic goal. For instance, build
knowledge of showing a video or
anything, design poster, and discuss
how polluted water can be changed
any many effective objectives. I
think that is way assist students to
motivate more and be excited to do
these activities and achieve the
aims.

Initially, in the engagement stage,

the teacher showed students
polluted word that stick on board
to explain the meaning.

It seemed to me not all

students be engaged to
read what means
polluted word.

In exploring part, the teacher

gives each group the materials of
experiment. For example, two
cups, sand, filter, water and timer.

In exploring part, the

students start looking
at materials to
investigate it. The
students touched
materials by their
hands.

Comments
Document what you found
interesting; any issues that arose
and how they were resolved; Would
you have taught any part of this
lesson differently?

It seemed to me that teacher used a boring

activity to engage students. I think that teacher

should try use creative activities to

excited students. It is an important
point that teacher aware of how start
engaging students at the beginning
so significant step. That is because it
helps to create exciting environment
for students as well. For example,
watching a video, do hands activity
to discover the lesson about what.
However, show words to read
meaning could be ineffective way.
Moreover, the teacher can use the
Same that used, but more effective.
Such as, show students the picture of
Word with asking question like
What can use in the pic, what is this,
Describe the picture and like that.
Well, in my opinion the teacher
Should prepare materials before start
Lesson. I realized that students are
totally will play for materials. So, the
teacher can select a leader for
each group to help her and that is
way promotes students to be
confident.
Another main point, is the teacher
Gives each student in a group a task
to do it. Thus, it is sure help to

notice what is happened to cup.

The teacher informed students to
pour sand water to another cup
that contain to filter.
The teacher told students to wait
minutes to observe what is
happened.

The teacher informed students to

record data that found out of the
experiment as a group.

Finishing off
Review / Recap

Goodbyes and
transitions to the
next lesson

The teacher asked group by group

what they noticed.

At the end step, the teacher

informed students to infer about
the experiment.

The teacher said to students will

study new topic next lesson. Take
care and see you tomorrow.

After that the students

wait 5 minutes and
responded to teacher
whey they observed.
The students observed
the polluted water that
cannot drink it.
After, the students pour
polluted water that
contain sand t another
cup with contain flitter.
As students mentioned
that the filter helped
polluted water to be
cleaned of dirty and
sand.
The students started to
record data that found
out and write it on
notes.
The students said the
sand cup is polluted
water that cannot drink
it. However filter is
helped to cleaned
water from dirty and
sand. So, the water
became cleaned and
people able to use it.
The students thought
little bit about the
question. Then, they
said that using filter is
helped to clean
polluted water. Thus,
that means we can use
filter in our daily life.
The students said to
teacher ok Ms., and see
you tomorrow.

improve in progress as well.

I think that the teacher makes sure

That all members in group share
Ideas while recording data. That is
Because not all students participate,
Some students were playing to
Materials instead of recording data.

It seemed to me a great infer and

Students did well to infer about the
Experiment.

At the end, the teacher shows caring

to students. And, take them to waiting
room.

Here some pictures that related to the inquiry students did about polluted water

This Science book for grade 2

illustrates the steps of polluted water
inquiry.

This picture shows the materials of the experiment. For

example, cups, sticks, water, sand and filter.

The students start investigating experiment, they pour sand to

water cup. Next, they mix it together.

Then, the students used scope to observe what happened for the
water when mix the sand on it.

to

Another student, recorded time by using timer

investigate the result.

After, the students realized that sand makes the polluted water.
So, they used the filter to clean polluted water from the sand.

At the end, the students be aware of using filter helped to clean

water.
