Objectives

Learners will be able to:

-Identify and explain the “Sun, planets, moons, meteors, asteroids, and comets in their physical properties, positions, and motions”.

– To determine the relative sizes of objects in our solar system.

Primary standards addressed

· Any claims made about a scientific or technical text must be backed up with quotations or other textual references.

· Find the meat of the text and accurately summarize it without relying on your own biases (Hillmayr et al., 20200).

· When executing technical jobs such as conducting experiments, taking measurements, etc., strictly adhering to a detailed set of instructions is essential.

· Recognize and explain the significance of scientific and technical symbols, essential keywords, and phrases in the context of books and themes covered in grades 6-8.

Materials

· Clay for sculpting

· Cheek swabs

· Sticks for Popsicles

· Other Crafting Components

· Distributed Material about the Solar System

Essential questions of the day

· Why does it go black at night?

· What moves the Sun, Earth, and Moon?

· Why does it get hotter in summer?

· What is the Moon's size? (Fisher et al., 2020)

Pre-test assessment

I will begin my pre-test assessment by asking the students what they know about the topic; earth and space. This will enable me to determine what they already know about the subject; additionally, I will be to determine which area to stress most throughout the lesson.

Opening

1. Put the students into small sets and give each group a diversity of craft supplies. Give each group a thing from our solar system (planet, comet, Moon, Sun, etc.).

2. Tell everyone what the rules are:

– Each group has to make a scale model of the object they were given.

– Things need to be made to hang so we can put them on display in the classroom.

– Each item must be clearly labeled and have two things on or inside (clouds, rings, mountain ranges, ice, etc.)

Guided practice

I will explain and model the objective for the students in the following steps

· Get the attention of each student in the classroom

· Make sure everybody has the required materials

· Give out the instructions and,

· Start the lesson

Independent Practice

-Answer each question

-Be able to ask questions

Modifications

Remediation– I will help re-teach the topic information for the students who will be confused by; grouping the student into groups. This will help them get assistance from the students and grasp the information quickly.

Enrichment– I will involve the students that easily grasp the information in groups or direct the groups that will remain behind to ensure that we will be on the same page.

ESE accommodations– I intend to inspire the learner to use the recommended graphic aids and resources e.g., “glasses, magnifiers, big-print books, etc.”.

· In the classroom, I will find the right spot for the learner “e.g., in the middle towards the front”. Make sure there is enough light.

Closing

· First, have each group exhibit its models to the whole class.

· Secondly, let us hang up all the models to create our solar system in this room.

· Third, describe each item's shape, size, placement, and motion.

Homework extension activity

· Take good notes

· Allocating enough time for students to complete their assignment

· Create a sequential strategy for completing multi-task assignments

Reflection

· I will give them questions to answer

· I will use my observations

· I will give the student the test on our learned topic (Rido, 2020).

Post-test assessment

· I will be the one making homework plans.

· Prepare tests.

· I am using the methods of evaluation established in the classroom.

· I was drawing on the method of idea maps.

· I am making use of mental exams.

· Group performance evaluation.

· I am making and utilizing grading scales.
