    The teacher led a lesson on simple machines using inquiry based learning. Students were shown pictures and asked to identify differences in the amount of force needed. They then used cans and spoons to demonstrate how a simple machine reduces the amount of force. This led to a discussion of mechanical advantage. Students then individually answered workbook questions to evaluate their understanding. The teacher concluded by introducing different trains to demonstrate mechanical efficiency. The teacher felt successful in using questioning to guide students to new formulas. However, she recognizes a need to improve her English skills when some students have low English levels, such as allowing dictionary use during worksheets.

    To begin with, I will briefly describe my second lesson with my MCT. As I start the
    lesson by showing the Ss two different picture in the PowerPoint and I ask them to
    find the different between the picture in using the force. Then I gave each group
    empty can and spoon as I ask them to open the can by using them hand to open it
    then they have to open it by using the spoon which is the simple machine and write
    the different in the two situation. Then we discuss why it is different in the force and
    how they applied the input/output force. Based to this activity I did a small
    discussion with the Ss to reach the new formula which is the mechanical advantage
    formula as I ask them later to answer the questions in workbook individually to
    evaluate each students thinking. While they finish, I show them two different trains
    one is old and the other is new in order to differentiate between them in the
    efficiency as this discussion lead to the new formula of the mechanical efficiency. At
    the end I finish the lesson by let the students complete the formula in the workbook
    individually to evaluate them understanding.
    In addition, in this lesson I like when I expend the students thinking in reaching the
    new formula by asking them driving question to help them know it. to be more
    specifically I use inquiry based learning it is to involve the ss to them lesson in order
    to lead them to understand. And, it is allow the teacher to ask questions to drive the
    learner to the new information. As this what I achieve in this lesson. (What is Inquiry
    Based Learning?, n.d)
    Otherwise, I think I should to improve my language skills while teaching the students
    because I though second language learner and some of the Ss have low level in
    English as my MCT ask me to do like a small English teaching in my lesson to allow
    the students to be more comfortable in speaking English. For instance when they
    answer the worksheet I will let them to use the online dictionary in order to gain
    more vocabulary word and understand they key concept.
