This lesson plan is for a 7th grade science class on the topic of ants. The plan includes introducing the topic through questions, a presentation by the teacher on ant anatomy and lifecycles, and an interactive lab where students will observe ants in an ant farm. Students will make predictions, draw observations, ask questions, and give presentations on what they learn about ants. The teacher will assess student understanding through observation and a written report.

Competence:
Understands the nature of science using material in an written and oral way to make a
presentation.
Rationale: Currently , these days ss have to understand the nature of science to used science
process and thinking skills and It´s important for them to know it as a general culture.
Lesson Content: Gives ss information about ants .
Instructional Procedures
Warm up :
T. will ask ss to brainstorm any information they might know about ants.
Then T will ask the following questions :
 What do you think it is like to be an ant?
 How do ants impact our lives and our environment?
Presentation :
T. will explain the instructional procedures about the ants.

2. Controlled practice:
T. will take them to lab room and she will ask them to type on the address bar
“http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/insects/ant/ “ .
1. Order ants from the link below.
2. After receiving the ants, place ants in their new environment (ant farm habitat).
3. Have students predict the changes that will occur as the ants spend more time in their new
environment with one another.
4. Have students record their predictions in their Ant Journals.
Free Practice:
5. Have students observe, draw, and record in an Ant Journal what they see and write at least one
question they want to know about ants.
6. Have a class discussion about ants and answer any questions the students have about ants
from their Ant Journal entries. Read the following document:
Ant anatomy and life cycle.
7. Have students share their observations and what they find interesting about ants to their
classmates by making a presentation .
Closure:
T will ask questions about the presentations to the ss to be sure they understood the
topic.
Feedback :
If ss are not cleared about the topic , T will clarify the topic next class.
Plan B :
Re-teach by doing a new activity.
T will ask a group of ss who did the best presentation to present it again and to
make an activity based on the topic . T will ask questions and ask for some volunteers
to help her to participate in an activity.

3. Students participation :
Interaction with peers & oral presentations about the topic
Homework : Students will self reflect upon their predictions and observations and write a
report of what they see.
Evaluation Procedures: While ss are working about the topic , T will observe them.
Materials and Aids: Lab room, internet , document & rubric.
