unit/page Unite : People and Resource students
Context of the lesson
- What is soil
- How dose soil form
- Types of soil

Teaching goal
Making students aware of 3 kinds of soil,( Send, Silt and Clay ) .
Learning objectives
By the end of the lesson student will be able to:

- Recognize the 3 kinds of soil.

- Determent the differentness between the 3 Kinds of soli.
- Recognize how dose soil form .

Assumptions about prior learning

I think that students are aware of what is soil, but they are not familiar with the types of it , which they are ( Clay ,
Send , Silt ) .
Anticipated problems and possible solutions
If there will be no time for assessing students what they learn: I will consider elaborate activity as an
assessing part also.
Personal focus for this lesson
I have to be enthusiastic and show my students that am so excited for the lesson which will make them excited and
active.

Target language Teacher language

# soli I will be using an appropriate language that match the

# Humus student’s level and comprehension. As well as I will ask
# Sand different open ended and close ended questions to check
# Silt their understanding to move to the next steps.
# Clay
# Smooth
# Raff
# Slippery

soli, and I will ask them, do we have one kind of soil? ,
do they know the kinds? How they are unlike for each
other, where they kind find them?.

However I will show them video about them( 3 kinds of

soil ), so they will have more knowledge. The video will
be supported with simple questions, about the video, also
if they have any question for me to ask . Then the
question will be followed by a small experiment which is
how we can get clay send.

-Explore: In this part students will be working in groups,

were they will do a small investigation. Students will
have 3 kinds of soil, and they will investigate the
characteristic of each soil , were each student will have a
sheet recorder , and she will record what she see , and
feel .

-Explain: This step will be after the explore activity

were, students will be asked questions about what they
did, and what they record etc.

-Elaborate: Student will get question ball from the

teacher, and will read it following with answering it . The
questions will be about the soil lesson, and the lesson that
they had it today.

Engage
PURPOSE: of the engagment
 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:
Nature resource
Environment
Questions for whole group discussion:

Teacher (( what they do in engagment in detail Student (( what they do in engagment in

detail))

In the starting of the lesson I will show the Students will look over to the soil picture
picture of soil. With asking them following and answer to my general questions that I
questions: will be asking the, I will be excepting

What is this ? / is this natural resource?/ soil
is renewable or non-renewable resource? /
for what we are consuming the soil ? / how
its formed.
I will reveal the chart of the soil formed ,
but step by stem , Were I will ask students to
tell me the materials that appear the soil .
I will show them picture of 3 unlike types of
soli , and ask them, what they can see in the
picture? / how many kinds of soil do we
have ? / how they are unlike from each
other , etc.
I will show them 3 unlike types of soil , and
I will ask one student to come over and
create a clay soil .
I will tell them some features of each soil
with giving students the chance to teach it.
After that I will start for them a video that
give more illustrating for the students. And
following with questions about the contexts
of the video.
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

I will provide each group with 3 types of soil
with recorder pepper.
I will give each incharge their group
materials, and they have to put them in the
correct answers , because students they took
the first part of the lesson .
Students will proved me with the materials
that formed the soil and have a quick
discussion about each resource, so I can
reveal the diagram.
Students will look to the second picture.
which is unlike types of sole . Students will
answer to my questions , for example their
exception s of how many types of soil do we
have in earth? Their answer will be 3
because in the picture there will be 3 types
of soil , but in the reality there are 70,000
kinds.
Students will tell me how theses soils are
different from each other. Were students will
touch the 3 types of soil, and will give the
answer.
Students will watch to video that lead them
to get more information about the topic .
Driving Question
Student
Students will be in groups.
One student for each group will be having
the materials of the activity.
From the class one or two student will re-say
the instruction of the activity :
Each student from the group will have the
chances for using the magnifying glass for
middle of the group. looking to the particles size in the soil, and
touch the soil to know the texture of it .
I will provide each student recorder sheet. In
the recorder sheet there will be 3 kinds of After students will be done from
soil, and they have to recorder the texture of investigating, they will record what she
the soil, color, size of the particles. found out in each soil its feature.
Color, texture , size of particles “ rocks “
I will announce the instructions of the
activity, and ask one or two students to re-
tell the instructions of the activity .
I will be going around the students and have
a look of what they are doing, and how the
activity is going.

While am going around the students I will

In this part teacher will go around each
group, and check their work.
During teacher will is checking students
work, she will not give them feedback about
their work.
Students will be expecting the first question
correct from student , because they will be
doing the something .
Students will be answering to my questions
individually.

After making sure that students are done For example questions :
from their work. I will be asking each group
one question. According to their work . How they found the activity.
What they did, during the activity
What they did? What they found out from each soil.
Which kinds of soil did they have? And what they learn from the activity.
Are they the same?
What are their features of each soil?
Which soil is batter for gardening?
(challengeable question )
If they are unlike from each other does this
mean that they are made of unlike
resources?

Lesson Reflection:
This lesson was delivered for grade 3 students, sciences subject. This lesson was unlike from other
lessons, because I do consume typical sciences activity which is investigation, and this part gives
the lesson brightness.

In the starting of the lesson I review with them the previews part of the lesson which is soil, where I
start with showing them image of the soil , and ask them questions about it , were also I asked them
for order to get soil, what we need. Student in this part they were fully engaged, because they had
these information’s before, and also my questions were simple and supported were in the questions
were hints, in my opinion asking students simple and with hint questions , will lead the students
motivate and active with the lesson , were after step by step teacher can make it complex. As using
technology is vital and supported at the same time for the student and teacher, I put for students a
video that talks about our lessons, which are types of soil. The video was very simple and short, that
have the important points. In this lesson my aim was delivering the lesson in short form with only
the important points, because this will make the lesson well delivered and well understated. After
students watched to the video I start to ask them questions, about the types of soil that they learned
about them in the video. To make students understanding clearer I show them simples of 3 type of
soil, with letting them to touch it , and know the texture of the soil , showing students the real object
from my experience first of all will attract the student and will help her or him to discover more, so
in this cause students were discovering the texture of each soil. Following with an investigation
activity which students love it , were each group get 3 types of soil and one magnifying glass , were
they have to observer each soil and record the size of particles and texture , finally color of the
soil , students were enjoying doing the activity, because as we know the young children they love to
discover , so this is one of the reasons that students love the activity , and they ask for more time ,
and the most important thing was that students were interacting with each other, were they were
asking each other questions , and I believe that students learn batter when they discover and when
they teach each other . Doing this type of activities in the sciences lesson make students aware of
differences between it and other subject, however during they were doing the activity I was going
around them and looking what they are doing, with asking them questions, some students they feel
difficulty with texture part, so I give them some examples, with writing down the texture vocab on
the board.
When student got done from the activity I select from each group a student to declare what she did,
and shearing the answers with students , and correct the foals understanding, during the explaining
part I realize something which is students they want to show up, which means come to the board
and they were excited to come to the board , letting students come to the front of the class and talk
is very important , for whatever subject , this will boost students in verity of areas , for example the
speech confidence , and from each lesson I decide that there will be part where one or two students
will come to the board and will do something .

In my next lesson my focus will be in time management , were according to my MCT feedback , is
that some areas took more time were it should be less, so I will like to divide the lesson parts , and
use an aliment to track my timing.
