(Actual class)
Explain 1. What information is needed for
the students to gain the knowledge or
skill?
2. How will the teacher demonstrate to the
students what is to be learned?
Elaborate/ Extend Allow students to use
their new knowledge and continue to
explore its implications in new and
unfamiliar situations, independently.
Use complete digital lesson and deliver the presentation in
the class in accordance with the teacher training.
Focus on the engagement via critical thinking question and
effective connection from the beginning of the lesson to final
artifact.
Note: Presentation is available in teacher resources of LMS.
Please feel free to adapt the presentation as per the level of
understanding of the participants.
Allow student to explore big bang poster given in the
Astronomy Lab setup

(Assessment)
Evaluate How will the teacher determine
whether the students have “gotten it”
before proceeding? Assess both students
and teachers to determine how much
learning and understanding has taken
place.
Closure What activity will be used to
summarize the major points or big ideas of
the lesson? How will you check for
understanding after each lesson/activity
At each level of the lesson, learners be asked independently
and cooperatively to repeat, give examples, demonstrate, and
answer questions at higher-order thinking levels (Refer
Teacher Training). Special attention will be given to the
“language of science” through use of pertinent vocabulary in
context.
Learners are expected to complete the quiz available in LMS
to complete the session.
Run a group reflection on the topic post quiz as taught in the
Teacher training and submit the reflection report on LMS to
finish the class delivery.

Homework Create an artifact and upload in LMS for assessment:

What at-home practice opportunities will
you provide your students prior to Learners Artifact on,” How will the continuous expansion of
demonstrating mastery? universe affect the Earth?”
Schedule
● Students be given opportunities to advance knowledge of concepts by completing activities that require
higher-order thinking skills.
● Students be encouraged to seek real-world applications and relevance of topics by conducting at-home
research via the internet and media.

Additional Information (If any)

1. Use the rubric cube assessment from Teacher training to assess learners’ projects
2. Students with a solid understanding of topics will be given more challenging examples and problems to
solve, with links to more real-world applications. They may also be asked to explain topics to other
students.
3. Students struggling with the topics will be separated into small groups and offered step-by-step
assistance in solving problems, with frequent references to prior knowledge and understanding.
4. Students may be given additional instruction and assignments.
