Lesson Plan SAMR

SAMR

During the lecture today, we were taken through the SAMR model. The SAMR model is a framework used in education to assess how deeply the technology is integrated into teaching and learning. Or it can also be defined as a planning tool that helps to design better learning activities. The SAMR stand for substitution, argumentation, modification and redefinition. In the following writing you will see a lesson plan integrating the SAMR model.

LESSON PLAN USING SAMR

 Lesson no: 2

Subject: Science

Topic: Rotation of the Earth 

Class: IV

Time: 50 minutes

Teaching materials: Power point, video on Earth spinning, playdough, toothpick, quiz

Previous knowledge: students already know the shape of the Earth.

Learning objectives: At the end of the lesson, the students will be able to

1. define the term rotation correctly in their own words without the help of teachers. 

2. explain how Earth's rotation causes day and night accurately after the teachers demonstration

3. use a model to demonstrate Earth's rotation correctly without the help from their friends

Engagement

Show a video clip of a globe spinning. 


After showing the video, ask the students what they observed in the video. Guide the discussion to identify the movement of the Earth(spinning on its axis).


Explore

Divide the students into pairs with playdough and toothpick. Students will model Earth by sticking the tooth pick through the playdough ball representing the axis. The pairs will be instructed to slowly rotate the ball while keeping the toothpick stationery. Encourage them to see what happens. 


Explain

The teacher will show a PPT and explain how the Earth's rotation creates day and night. 

Earth PPT


Elaborate

Pose a question to the students so as to check their understanding. The questions will be such as:

 1. "Imagine Earth didn't rotate". What do you think will happen? 

2. How many rotations will the earth make in 24 hours? 

3. What is the axis of the Earth? 


Evaluation 

Students will be doing a quiz.

Technology Integration in Education In today's lesson, we went through the PhEt simulation. Ever hear of this? If no, then let me take you through detailed information on what exactly is this simulation and how it is being integrated. PhET simulation. Basically PhEt is nothing but a free and fun, research based educational tool to teach science and mathematics. These simulations cover a wide range of topics in science and math, allowing students to explore concepts through hands-on virtual experiments. This can be used in classrooms to enhance learning and understanding of complex scientific principles. After attending the lecture on this simulation, some of the benefits I found are interactive learning. This simulation provide interactive environment where the students can manipulate and provides hands-on activities enhancing the understanding of the concept in a greater level. Another benefit I found is its accessibility. PhEt simulation are freely available online, making it acc...

WHAT IS DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP? Today I will take you through one of the most important topic one should know as a person equipped with technologies that is the digital citizenship. So, what is digital citizen?  A digital citizen is an individual who engages responsibly, ethically, and effectively in online communities and digital spaces. Being a digital citizen involves using digital technologies such as the internet, social media, and digital devices in a positive and constructive manner. It also entails understanding and practicing concepts such as digital literacy, online safety, privacy protection, and respectful online behavior. This, also involves understanding the rights and accordingly taking responsibility associated with it. The digital citizenship includes nine element. The nine elements of digital citizen are explained as follows: For further understanding, I've explained the nine elements in detail. Digital Access:  Digital access refers to the ability of individua...
