NGSS STANDARDS: (Science and Engineering Practice (SEP), DCI (Disciplinary Core Ideas), Crosscutting concepts, Performance expectations)

CURRICULAR SEQUENCE: (A description of the point in time of a unit the lesson falls within; summarizes prerequisite concepts)


OUTLINE: (A quick reference of the lesson flow from beginning to end - ie. Agenda.)

WARM UP EXERCISE: (What activity can generate student engagement on the topic being presented in a limited timeframe? Something to get students thinking critically about the the new topic or reflecting on previous topic from a new perspective/lens)

ENGAGE ACTIVITY: (Students are given a question that will allow them to reflect on past lessons or gaige prior knowledge)

EXPLICITLY OUTLINED ALGORITHM: (Whatever thinking they are to reciprocate must be explained explicitly and in steps that can be easily digested and reproduced.)

SCHEDULE: (Order of events and how much time they will take. Note ideal plan and reflection for improvement for following years.)

TIME: (Estimated time you will allot students to complete tasks with teacher and student expectations.)

WEB RESOURCES (Links to online resources that are pertinent to the activity, including brief descriptions)

ACTIVITY: ( What activities the students are doing during the class. Any experiment, planning or designing a model etc.)

HOMEWORK: (creating assignments to review and reinforce the concept in class, make a typical, Accom, MOD, and Enriched versions if necessary)

CLOSURE: (Teacher will have some type of exit ticket, or formative assessment on the lesson to help bring the lesson to a close. How does the closure of the lesson lead to the lesson of the next day of instruction?)


ASSESSMENT: (How will the teacher determine if objectives have been realized? What type of assessment is used? Formative? Summative?

    • FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT: (assessment of students for the purpose of informing your continued instruction and moving students toward lesson objectives)

    • EXIT TICKET: (Summarize what I can do or have learned)
