Lesson : The sun-Earth-Moon system
Context of the lesson
For this lesson, I am going to do the 5 E’s. For the engage, there are two activities, the first one it will be
individual and each student will have a sticky note to write what they know about ( sun - moon - earth),
asking the question what the meaning of system, and then they will work in a group to do a brainstorm. For
the second thing explore it will be in a group and the will be cutting a paper color to change the routine and
have fun, for the third thing that explains it will be related to exploring because they will explain what they
did, also in the explain they will be able to use the book and read. For the fourth thing that Elaborate they
will do this activity in the group and they will do sorting strategy. For the fifth thing that evaluates the
activity will be individual like the teacher will give each student a marker and small board, then the teacher
will ask a question and the students will answer in their board to make sure they understand the lesson.

Teaching goal
My goal for this lesson to deliver the lesson for the students in a different way and to make the students
understand the meaning of system, Gravity and the orbit and the characteristics for the moon-sun and earth.
Learning objectives
By the end of the lesson, students will be able to
1- To know the meaning of system, Orbit and gravity.
2- To know the characteristics of the moon, sun and earth.
Assumptions about prior learning
They will know the words sun – moon and earth the color of each one and the other information that I will
discover in the activity when they will write on the sticky note.
Anticipated problems and possible solutions
If the students were so noisy while they doing the activity the teacher will deprive them of the activity and
also the teacher will take the point of grouping reward. Also if the teacher faced technology problem in the
Elaborate activity she will do it in the whiteboard.
Personal focus for this lesson
During the lesson, I am going to monitor the students while they work, Also I will focus how they recognize
the sun- earth - moon system.

answer individually)

Consider these grouping strategies: Consider where the children are working:
 There is a no different area in the classroom
 There is some activity it will be in a group so the students will work on their desk.

Planning Stages Within the 5-E Inquiry Model

Engage
PURPOSE:
 to convey the context of the lesson(s)/unit by conveying an important Key Question
 to engage students in investigations that reveal their thinking to themselves and the teacher
 to record the initial ideas of students
 to engage their interest

Key Question:

Questions for whole group discussion:

Martials:
 Three picture.
 Sticky note.
 Papers

Teacher Student

First, the teacher will remind the student about the The students will take the sticky note from the teacher to
classroom rules and the reward system. Then the write what they know about three pictures (sun - moon-

picture it will be about sun, the second picture it will of the system to answer on the teacher question, the
be about the moon and the third picture it will be students in the group they will do the brainstorm about
about the earth, then she will ask the students to write the thing that works together. The students will open

will put the sticky note on the picture, also I will ask
them to write their name on the sticky note. I do this
activity to know their knowledge and to know their
lesson about what then the teacher will ask the
student what the system mean. Then the teacher will
let the students work in a group to do brainstorm
about the other thing that works in the system. After
finishing the activity the teacher will be saying today
we will learn how the sun, earth and the moon work
together as a system. The teacher will ask the
students to open page 300 to write the date.
 Explore
PURPOSE:
 to test ideas and develop knowledge using explorations, investigations, experiments
 to modify and record ideas as they change due to activities
 to develop new questions and testable hypotheses
Materials:
 Worksheet.
 Color.
 Glue.
 Pin.

sun doesn't move because it is much larger than
earth in more fun way. And after the teacher will ask
them can you let the moon move and the sun so the
teacher will ask them what you will do can anyone
repeat for me. Also, she will ask what you understand
of what you doing. The teacher will walk around the
students if they need any help.
Student Communication Product:

- Oral discussion of what they do and the reason of that.

-
Explain
PURPOSE:
 to answer the Key Question through student explanations
 to provide students with relevant vocabulary, formal definitions and explanations of concepts
Materials:
 Book.

Reflection:

This my first lesson for the observation that the MCT and MST will observe me and, I feeling for this period
it was very nervous and I was thinking about what I will do and did I will get a good mark. but my first point
that the students will understand, So in my lesson I was started the lesson by saying good morning and
welcoming the student, then I reminded them about my rules and the reward system to be able to manage
them if they misbehaved so there are some students they were not with while I am teaching and they were
chatting with their friends, so, I was taking from them a point form their group, and with this strategy was
good and I used a bell to manage them but the students do not like it because it so noisy. So in the engage
part there is a lot of misconception that students had so I did not correct for them for next time I will do and
also I would introduce the lesson more so just I was saying, students, today we will be going to talk about
The Sun-Earth-Moon system but I should be talking more about it so, next of the engage I was giving them
an activity for the explore part and it was taking for me a lot of time so this my second point that I should
develop it ( time management) and I was confused in the lesson because of each for a group that had a large
number of students, So next time I will reduce it. But in the end, the students like the activity and they want
from me to teaching them more.
