This document discusses developing effective science lesson plans. It emphasizes the importance of advance planning to ensure objectives are met, materials are prepared, and self-confidence is built. Key parts of a lesson plan are identified, including objectives, materials, procedures, and assessment. Steps for planning include determining objectives, content, methodology, and materials. A sample lesson plan on the structure of matter is provided as an example. Effective evaluation of plans and students' learning is also highlighted. Developing comprehensive unit plans and course syllabi with clear objectives and outlines is also addressed.

1. Developing Science LessonDeveloping Science Lesson

2. A. The Need for Planning
• Why should you plan early enough?
1. Assurance of an effective procedure and a complete
coverage
2. Good and reliable plan enhance self-confidence
3. Plan can be submitted to department head or head teacher
for comments and suggestions.
4. Experience gained from your daily lesson planning task can
serve as a well-earned qualification for future classroom
activities
5. A systematically conceived lesson plan speaks of an orderly
work and study habits of a teacher.
6. The choice and preparation of IM’s can be decided and
included in a plan.

3. B. Factors to Consider
• adequate knowledge about the subject
matter to be taught
• Appropriate teaching methodology
• Sufficient materials and supplies
• Equipment and laboratory tools
• Books, references, amd other IM’s

4. Basic steps and parts of a lesson
plan
• Writing the objectives
• Determining the teaching strategies
• Identifying and incorporating
appropriate IM’s
• Designing assignments

5. Parts of Lesson Plan
• Objectives
• Subject matter
• Materials needed
• Background knowledge
• Lesson proper
• Assessment
• Assignment

6. D. Planning the lesson
• The lesson objectives
-stated in behavioral terms
-expressed in cognitive, affective and
psychomotor domain
• The subject
-logically sequenced and with enough
time allotments

7. • The lesson proper
-starts with a good motivation
-follows the procedure
-involves analysis and summary
-concludes with generalization about the
lesson learned
• Assessment
-must jibes with the objectives set at the
start
• Additional activities
• Assignment

8. Evaluating the Effectiveness of the
Plan
1. General Classroom Atmosphere
2.Student interactions
3.Student Performance
4.Self Evaluation

9. • The methodology
-guided by the desired objectives in terms
of knowledge to be learned, skills to be
developed and values to be instilled
• The materials

10. Sample Lesson Plan
What is matter made of?
Objectives:
a. cognitive:
The Students must be able to discover what matter is
made of.
b. affective:
The students must exhibit willingness to help one
another by performing the activities assigned to the
group.
c. psychomotor:
They must show adeptness in handling the tools and
materials to be used as the magnifying lens and
medicine dropper.

11. Lesson Proper:I. Activities
a. performing 3 different activities by
groups
1. crush the grains of salt in to the
tinest particle. observe the particles
using the magnifying lens.
2. do the same with grains of the
sugar.
3. using a medicine dropper, place a
drop of water on apiece of wax paper.
b. recording observations by groups
c. answering the questions found in each

12. • Subject: Matter and its Structure
• Materials: Sugar, salt, dropper,
candle, magnifiying lens, wax, paper
• Background knowledge: Matter
exists in solid, liquid and gaseous
state.

13. II. Discussion after the 3 activities
III. Concluding statements
IV. Generalization

14. • Assessment
POSING QUESTIONS
-WHAT concepts they learned
-HOW they felt after finishing the activity
-WHERE they were able to use the tools
correctly

15. • Assignment
-continue reading about molecules
-give some questions about the text the
read

16. Parts of a Detailed Lesson Plan
1. overview-gives them idea on what is to
be learned
2.pretest-tries to find out if students are
ready to performed the activities
3.objectives-state what the students
should able to do

17. Developing a Unit
• unit
- obtained from the course syllabus
-consists of a major concepts and
subtopics that may 2 -3 weeks to finish

18. 4. learning resources-includes the complete list
of references
5. enrichment activities-optional activities
6. evaluation exercises-consists of a check if the
learning behavior is achieved
7. post test-taken after the completion of the
learning activities

19. The Format
1.title of the unit
2.relevance of the unit
3.concepts included
4.useful background knowledge
5.instructional objectives
6.suggested activities
7.summary
8.evaluation of the unit
9.references
10.materials
11.culminating activity

20. Developing Course Syllabus
• Parts
1.course number and title
2.course description-overview of the course
3.course prerequisite-
4.course credit-number of recitation periods
5.course objectives
6.course outline-complete listing of strategies
and techniques
7.course methodology-complete listing of
topics
8.time allotment
9.course requirements-learning tasks for
evaluating learning
10.suggested references
