1. Objective(s): Describe what the eight planets in the solar system are and explain in their own words
what they known or have learned from watching the video on the eight planets in the solar system.
3. Learning Target(s): I will be able to identify the 8 planets in our solar system. I will also be able to
explain in what I know, what I learned, and what I found interesting about the eight planets in the solar
system by gathering data about the planets from the short video. From these observations, I will also be
able to analyze and interpret the data by writing in my science notebook about the eight planets.
4. Assessment: There will be an informal assessment as the teacher observes the students as they write
in their science journals. The teacher will also assess the students understanding of the eight planets by
reviewing their journal entries. Their journal entry should include their interpretation of the information
they have gathered from the video they have watch about the eight planets in the solar system. The
information they have gathered should also include the analyzation of what they know, an interesting
fact and what they learned about the planets.
6. Essential Questions or Big Picture Statement: What do the students already know about the eight
planets in our solar system? What will the students find interesting and learn about the eight planets
after discovering the information from watching a brief video of the solar system?
7. Introduction/Anticipatory Set: To get the students attention the teacher will gather the students in
their table groups and ask them what they know about the solar system. The teacher will then inform
the students of their objectives for that day and will start with the lesson by first showing the students a
PowerPoint of the eight planets. Also, before starting the lesson the teacher will ask the students if they
understand what they will be doing and if they have any questions. To check if they understand the
Label Assessments: After watching the short video of the solar systems, the students will be asked to
write in their Science Journals and draw a picture (optional) of what they have learned while watching
the video. They will also be asked to write one or two interesting things they did not know about our
solar system. Teacher will walk around the classroom checking students notebooks to make sure they
are making an entry in their journals about what they learned and what they found interesting. If the
students have not followed the directions the teacher will correct the students to make sure they are on
track. Teacher will also be available to answer students questions.
Students incorporated feedback from BOTH instructor comments and peer review, and articulated
how they used the feedback to improve their lesson plan.
After looking at the feedback from both the instructor and the peer reviewer, although I did not
find much from the peer review, I relooked at the areas I was having problems on and tried to
think of a way that I could make those sections better. By looking at the comments by the
instructor I was able to think about what I wanted to add to try to make it meet the criteria of
the rubric. I did make corrections in these areas: Assessment, Essential Question,
