PURPOSE Why am I teaching this lesson? What do I want the students to know/to be able to do by the
end of the lesson that they could not do before? (LOs and SOs)

Children will recognize that some soils are better at supporting growth
than others

Hint: this lesson will take two separated lessons.

GROUPING: What is the group size? How is every student going to be able to participate? Will you be
differentiating and how?

I have five groups each group involves 5/6 students and I applied two differentiation
strategies for this lesson:

Flexible Grouping: which means that medium, high and low students are setting
in the same group, this will give students opportunities to interact with other
students in meaningful by dealing with wide range of peers alike and different from
themselves. Besides that, all of them working to reach same learning objectives.

Extra Worksheet: I create an extra worksheet for the high-level students because
they might finish before the timer end up.

Materials:
Samples of different planting materials (e.g. compost, sand, orchid and clay)
Small plastic trays/yoghurt pots
Measuring cylinders
Water
Scales of weighing the different materials
Radish seeds
Students pictures
Groups record
teacher books Science Bug Year 3

Possible Problems:

Problem (1): I might face problem with the data show.

Possible solution (1): I will save my PowerPoint in Flash so I can display it using
different laptop

Misconception (1): students may do not know the scientific methods steps
Solution (1): I will re-call it at the beginning of the class.
