ASSIGNMENT QUESTION AND GUIDELINES
Design one (1) lesson plan on any topic within the CAPS: Natural Sciences and Technology.
• The lesson plan must clearly state how you will incorporate FOUR (4) of the multiple intelligences into the lesson.
• This must be done in the form of a table on a separate page.
• The lesson plan must contain a 20-mark activity that tests learner's ability to synthesis and evaluate.
• A memo must be included/ attached.
• The lesson plan must contain a visual aid to support the topic.
• The visual aid is limited to the maximum slides: PowerPoint/ (PPTX) presentation or a display model that you have made.
NOTE: Failure to engage with the content will result in a 0 mark for the activity.
Lesson Plan: Topic - The Solar System
Objectives:
1. To introduce learners to the concept of the solar system and its components.
2. To engage learners in activities that will enhance their understanding of the solar system.
3. To assess learner's ability to synthesis and evaluate information about the solar system.
Materials:
- Visual aid (PowerPoint presentation or display model)
- Worksheets
- Colored pencils
- Markers
Multiple Intelligences Incorporated:
- Verbal/Linguistic: Learners will engage in discussions about the solar system and its components.
- Visual/Spatial: Visual aids will be used to help learners visualize the solar system.
- Logical/Mathematical: Activities will involve analyzing and categorizing information about the solar system.
- Bodily/Kinesthetic: Hands-on activities such as drawing and coloring will be incorporated.
Lesson Plan:
1. Introduction (10 minutes)
- Show visual aid to introduce the topic of the solar system.
- Discuss the different components of the solar system (planets, sun, moons, asteroids, etc.)
2. Main Activity (30 minutes)
- Distribute worksheets with information about each planet in the solar system.
- Have learners work in groups to categorize the planets based on size, distance from the sun, and other characteristics.
- Encourage learners to create a visual representation of the solar system using colored pencils and markers.
3. Assessment (20 minutes)
- Conduct a quiz with questions that require learners to synthesize and evaluate information about the solar system.
- Provide feedback on learners' answers and discuss any misconceptions.
4. Conclusion (10 minutes)
- Review key concepts about the solar system.
- Allow learners to ask questions and share their thoughts on the topic.
Visual Aid: PowerPoint Presentation
- Include images and information about each planet in the solar system.
- Show animations or videos to engage learners and enhance their understanding of the topic.
Memo:
Dear Teachers,
Please find attached the lesson plan on the topic of the solar system. The lesson incorporates multiple intelligences such as verbal/linguistic, visual/spatial, logical/mathematical, and bodily/kinesthetic to cater to different learning styles. The assessment activity is designed to test learner's ability to synthesize and evaluate information about the solar system. A visual aid in the form of a PowerPoint presentation is included to support the topic.
Thank you,
[Your Name]
Note: The visual aid and memo should be included as separate attachments/pages.
