Overview of the lesson:
To realise that when solids and liquids are mixed, some of these changes are reversible and
some are not.

Feedback from last improvement points

1) Target children with questions and ask follow-ups if required. You used
targeted questions regularly to focus the children and ‘keep them on their
toes’.
2) Ensure your lesson is following a logical sequence. This target still needs
development.
3) Make sure you are happy that your resources maximize learning opportunities.
Your resources for the lesson gave more emphasis to the learning. – Could
you have written in the components for the children as a time saver?
Areas for development:
Sequencing. If investigating, the findings from the investigation should be driving the
learning. It felt like all the answers were given at the beginning, which left little for the
children to discover/learn for themselves. Sometimes children need to be told things
and sometimes they need to be guided towards an answer. The latter is always a
more powerful learning tool.

Focus for next lesson:

1) Sequence of learning. The learning must follow a logical order in order to build
upon the knowledge the children have. Example, you can’t say ‘c’ in the
alphabet until you have said ‘a’ and ‘b’.
