Lesson Plans

Lesson Plans A lesson plan is a document that outlines the contents of your lesson step by step. This is a list of things your students will do to help guide your teaching.

A lesson plan is usually pre-prepared and can cover either a one-time activity, a complete lesson, a unit or course, a day, or a week.

Lesson plans basically include a schedule of activities that you will present in the lesson. Some lesson plans also include additional sections for more complete planning. Some of the parts you might want to include in your lesson plan are:

Lesson activities
Teaching materials
Lesson Objectives
Lesson Objectives
Lesson feedback

Science lesson planning can mean anything from experiments to monitoring, or sketching and labeling. It is important to plan science lessons to ensure that all students are learning effectively while being busy and safe. Following a template, such as the science lesson plan examples below, can help ensure that your science lessons run smoothly.

Provide space for reflection in your science lesson plan.
While the lesson plan is a place to schedule your activities, it can also be a great reference document when planning future sessions. Adding reflection space to your science lesson plan can be a great way to include notes about what worked and didn’t work in your lesson, for future reference.

Your lesson plans should impress you, not bore you! Using metaphors is a great way to revitalize your lesson plans.

In this lesson planning example, the teacher uses colorful and playful illustrations to illustrate the lesson content.
