Context of the lesson (Give information about the lesson and where it fits. Or, this lesson is a review of
.. covered in previous lessons)
This is the chapter 5 in the unit. The unit: C Earth's materials Lesson: What is earth made of? Experiment
about comparing two rocks.
Teaching goal (State clearly what it is you plan to teach in this lesson)
The overall goal is that teaching students the experiment about compare the rocks. First of all students
should know what does mean rock before doing the experiment. Next, the students explore experiment
through make comparing between two rocks by touching and observing to find out the features of the rocks.
For instance, the color, texture, size and shape. Then, the students discuss how to record data, the result
and show data about what they investigate in comparing two different rocks. After that, the students make up
a conclusion from the data and show data. At the end, the students solve question on sheet.
Learning objectives (State clearly exactly what you want the ss to be able to do by the end of the lesson).
Students will able to
Imagine we are going to the cave trip to investigate rocks.
Build knowledge about the rocks by showing the video.
Compare two rocks by touching and observing to investigate the features of the rocks ( formative
assessment)
Discuss how to recorded data and the result that investigated in applying the experiment of comparing the
rocks.
Make up a conclusion from the data and show data to stick a small pieces sheet on cork.
Solve question on sheet ( summative assessment )
Assumptions about prior learning (Mention what the ss know from previous lessons or their experience
eg The learners will have encountered or be familiar with or aware of...)
Students will be familiar of what does mean rock

Anticipated problems and possible solutions (Mention problems and solutions related to management,
tasks or students)
Some learners will find problems in doing explore activities by themselves. So, the teacher will give students
simple language clear instruction card for each pairs.
Some students might misbehave in the lesson. Therefore, the teacher makes competition as group who
collect more sticks at the end will be winer. In this case, it will assist students behave in good way at the
same time keep challenging in solving activities.
Some learners may make noisy while teacher explains the lesson. Thus, the teacher makes sure to remind
students about classroom rules with using positive reinforcement.
Students in low level might find difficulty to do or share ideas while do the activities. So, the teacher makes
sure that the students in high level that can promote low level to do activities.
Students may waste time while doing activity. So, the teacher uses timer to make sure for all student finish
on time. Another way, the teacher can use tone way that informs students listen to tone while doing the
activity. And, when the teacher stops tone that means leave everything thing to pay attention and listen to
the teacher.
In the group working activity not all students participate as one hand. Therefore, the teacher makes sure to
give students responsibility in each group.
Students may find difficulty to solve question card that asses them at the end, especially low students' level.
Thus, the teacher explains the questions before giving students the question card to make it easily for
students.
Personal focus for this lesson (Based on your previous observed lesson, identify one or two aspects that
need improving. Eg. be more animated, monitor children more closely, provide more challenging tasks etc)
In this lesson, I will focus on concept of the lesson and how I can achieve it in creative way. I also will focus
on classroom management as well.
Target language (list language being taught)
Rock
Shape
Size
Color
Texture

Teacher language (list language used by you, the

teacher, eg. questions, instructions and
explanations)
What they already know about the rock?
What does mean texture?
Give me examples of how to size rocks?
Give me examples of the rocks' color that you saw it
near the mountain or anyplace that you saw lots of
rocks?
Give me examples of the rocks' shape?
What do you want to learn?
Take a guess on what you think the answer to your
question might be?
Test the question by doing an experiment.
What data and the result you collected from the
timetable about competing two rocks?
Make up a conclusion?
What can you infer about the rocks?
What was the learning objectives of the lesson?
Do you want to add something?

Consider these grouping strategies:

Individual work: evaluating activity.
Pair work: exploring activity
Group work: explaining and elaborating
activity
Whole class: engagement activity

Consider where the children are working:

Moving around the classroom: elaborating
activity
At their desk: working on the activities.

Planning Stages Within the 5-E Inquiry Model

Engage
PURPOSE:
Students will able
to get students' attention to show an interesting video that excited them.
to show classroom rules and strategy by using puppet
to build knowledge about the rocks by showing the video.
Key Question:
What is the earth made of?
Opening activity to surface student thinking:
What do you think how to investigate the rocks?
Opening activity to engage student interest and/or clarify context of the investigations:
.
Teacher uses puppet to create a story that attract students to think deeply of how can solve this problem.
Initially, the teacher tells students will go to the cave' strip to investigate rocks, so they should be ready to
go. Suddenly,the puppet prevents students go for anywhere to stay in the class and he is laughing to
them. In this case, the students should find a perfect way to convince the puppet. However, the puppet
thinks a great idea is to ask students two questions about the rock to test their knowledge. If the students
answer it, they can go to the cave's trip. But, if they not will stay at the class that by showing the video to
make students focus on video to build knowledge. At the same time, it assists students to obtain
knowledge. It is challenging activity that should students do the best work.
Questions for whole group discussion
Ask two specific question that related to the video
1) There are two several things that related to the rocks which are ....................... and .................. if you
want to make investigation.
2) Give me two sort of the rocks that mentioned in the video? ........................ and .................... .
Key answer:
1) Shapes and sizes
2) Chalk, granite, sandstone, slate and marble.
