Unit: Rock and Soils Lesson: Rock and Soils (1) Time from: 10:35 to: 11:25

PURPOSE Why am I teaching this lesson? What do I want the students to know/to be able to do by the
end of the lesson that they could not do before? (LOs and SOs)

Children will have described their initial ideas about what rocks and soils are and
how they are formed
Children will have described different rocks
GROUPING: What is the group size? How is every student going to be able to participate? Will you be
differentiating and how?

I have five groups each group involves 5/6 students and I applied two differentiation
strategies for this lesson:

Flexible Grouping: which means that medium, high and low students are setting
in the same group, this will give students opportunities to interact with other
students in meaningful by dealing with wide range of peers alike and different from
themselves. Besides that, all of them working to reach same learning objectives.
I will give fewer samples of rocks or select rocks which are particularly distinctive,
e.g. chalk, sandstone, pumice, etc.
Subjects teacher requirement: Children select two rocks to compare. They create a
fact file for each rock to which they can add more information as they discover
more across the unit.

Possible Problems:

Problem (1): I might face problem with the data show.

Possible solution (1): I will save my PowerPoint in Flash so I can display it using
different laptop

Misconception (1): students may do not know the rocks types

Solution (1): I will provide a real example of rocks
