Today's observation i must say was the most enlightening. I went for observation for Primary 6 Science class which was taught by a senior teacher. She had already given me a PETAL lesson plan of her lesson at the start of the day. I read it and made sure i understood what was going to happen.
The lesson was about fully submerged plants, floating plants and partially submerged plants. It was based more on what makes certain floating plants float. I feel that this lesson was the one which had most details to it. I saw that the one hour for the lesson was packed with many learning points and activities. The students first sat in their groups. They were then given some plasticine to make shapes so that it will float in the water. They tested it out and finally one boy got the answer. He had made the plasticine in the shape of a boat.
They then in thier groups wrote three questions about what they would like to learn with regards to the topic. I liked this the best as when the lesson moved forward, the teacher actually remembered the questions and answered them one by one with the flow of the lesson. I found this very good as she was able to meet the teacher and student directed learning expectations. She was able to meet her objective in teaching the lesson as well as answering the students questions.
What happened next was the different groups presenting their works to the class which also was in a form of discussion as whoever who does not agree can voice out and have her say.
