LP alignment - Sunel (Science dept.)

Teacher: Mr. Sameer Khan
                                               Lesson plan

Class VII
Topic: hot and cold
Resources: Hot and cold water and thermometer 

INTRODUCTION: I will show them hot and cold water and tell them to put their finger in it after I’ll ask some questions;  How do you feel when you put your finger in both water sample?
 Why it is hot and cold?


LEARNING OUTCOME: By this activity students will be able to identify hot and cold things also able to describe the impact of temperature in environment and our health also.

           Teacher’s action
                 Students responses
Firstly I’ll clear their doubts in questions (mentioned in intro).

I will divide the whole class into some groups and assign their roles.
Then I’ll give them hot, cold and normal water and thermometer.
I’ give them some instructions that take thermometer and put it one by one in hot, cold and normal water and record your observations.

I’ll also put some questions in between the activity like:
Have you see any changes in thermometer’s reading?
Why it is increase and decrease?
What is the importance of temperature in our environment and our life?





They will be collect materials from me and will start their work.

They will observe carefully that temperature increase and decrease in thermometer. And will record their observation in their note book.


They will be give me answer from their observation.


HOME WORK: After that I’ll give them some questions for writing in note book like:
                          : What is the role of thermometer?
                          : What is the role of temperature in our life and environment also?
                          : How can you show the temperature from thermometer?


RIVISION:  In last I’ll put some important thing on the black board and explain it in summaries in front of them.

Black Board Summery
                                                                                                                AGENDA
                                                                                                Hot and cold things
                                                                                             Role of temperature in our life
                                                                                                   Uses of thermometer



Why is my lesson plan aligning?

                         : In this lesson plan learning outcome was students will be able to identify    hot and cold things also will be able to describe the role of temperature.

                          According to learning outcome I used an activity. I gave them a concrete experience. I divided whole class into some groups and assigned their roles. I provided activity materials and gave instructions to check hot, cold and normal water with the help of thermometer and record their observations in their note books. By above process all students have identified hot and cold substances and impact of temperature. So my activity was also aligned.

                         I asked some questions in between the activity which I mentioned in lesson plan. Questions were related to learning outcome. So my questions are aligned.

                         Then, I cleared all the doubts that the students had that time.
                         After that I gave some questions (mentioned in lesson plan) for their                         home assessment. These questions helped the students in understanding the effect of temperature on our health and environment too. So my home work also aligned.

Dear Mr. Khan,
Thank you for sharing this plan. Please do read the feedback below and discuss the same with your leader:
1. According to me you had THREE LO- identify hot and cold things, describe the impact of temperature on our health, describe the impact of temperature on the environment. Do you feel these are too many objectives for one lesson?

2. Your activity was good because it gave kids a concrete experience but it was focused on learning how to use a tool (thermometer) to read temperature ad record data. While it was no doubt a good experience for kids, do you feel that it helped meet the objective of being able to identify hot and cold things? Would you like to reword your objective?

3. You mentioned that as students were working, you walked around discussed certain questions with them. However in the absence of some whole class discussion, reading or instruction on the impact of temperature, I am not convinced the other two objectives have been met.
How can you improve our activities to better align them with the objectives?

4. Could the homework have been an application or extension of their understanding so that you could have actually used it as an assessment?
