Lesson Planning 1 – setting objectives.

Objectives of this lecture:

•To consider what pupils will learn during a lesson

•To write Learning Objectives (LOs) in a manner which is useful to both you and the pupils

•To consider what a learning outcome is and how it relates to a learning objective

What is an objective?

• Ask yourself, what do you want the pupils to learn this lesson?

• This is not the same as what you want them to do i.e. the learning activity

Example

I want the pupils to learn how to plan a fair test = Objective

The pupils are going to investigate the effect of temperature on enzyme activity=Activity

Learning activities

• What the pupils physically do in a lesson can involve many different aspects of their learning.

• You as the teacher have to decide where your learning focus is i.e. set the objectives for the lesson

• This allows the pupils to understand what they are specifically learning that lesson.

Rule 1

Make it simple:

• We are following instructions to do an experiment to show where in the classroom we think there are the are the most and the least microbes

• We are learning to write a prediction

Page 8: Lesson Planning 1 – setting objectives. Objectives of this lecture: To consider what pupils will learn during a lesson To write Learning Objectives (LOs)

Lesson Planning 1 – setting objectives.

Rule 2:

Don’t have too many:

• We are learning to write a prediction

• We are learning to work safely with microbes

Page 9: Lesson Planning 1 – setting objectives. Objectives of this lecture: To consider what pupils will learn during a lesson To write Learning Objectives (LOs)

Lesson Planning 1 – setting objectives.

Rule 3

they are statements about what the pupils will learn rather than what they will do

So…..• We are going to do an experiment to show that plants give off

oxygen during photosynthesisOr, alternatively…..• We are learning to use equipment carefully and appropriately• We are learning that plants produce oxygen as a product of

photosynthesis• We are learning that the test for oxygen is the relighting of a glowing

spill

Lesson Planning 1 – setting objectives.

Rule 4:

Objectives need to be written in language that the children understand

• For example Year 7 pupils might be told that …

in this lesson you are going to learn how to compare different research methods in science.

• When actually …….

In this lesson we will learn how to find out information using a book and computer.

Page 11: Lesson Planning 1 – setting objectives. Objectives of this lecture: To consider what pupils will learn during a lesson To write Learning Objectives (LOs)

Lesson Planning 1 – setting objectives.

It is important to remember that:

• Objectives can be skills as well as just knowledge

• It is good practice to have a mixture

Page 12: Lesson Planning 1 – setting objectives. Objectives of this lecture: To consider what pupils will learn during a lesson To write Learning Objectives (LOs)

Lesson Planning 1 – setting objectives.

Which of these are objectives?

• To know how to evaluate the reliability of a set of data• To create a model of an animal cell• To know the characteristics of living things• To understand the concept of electron shells and how this gives

elements a particular valency• To draw and label a diagram of the eye• To debate whether the greenhouse effect is responsible for

changes in global weather patterns• To understand the main cause of Acid rain• To complete activities 1b, 2c, and 3c from page 41 of your

textbook• To learn to interpret pie charts• To improve our skills in using a thermometer

Framing learning objectives

The Key Stage 3 strategy suggests using WALT …

• We Are Learning To …

• so this might translate into …

• We Are Learning To …

• ‘Find things out using a book and a computer.’

• Framing your objectives in this way means that you have to think about exactly what you want pupils to learn.

Page 14: Lesson Planning 1 – setting objectives. Objectives of this lecture: To consider what pupils will learn during a lesson To write Learning Objectives (LOs)

Lesson Planning 1 – setting objectives.

So now ……

• We are learning to evaluate the reliability of a set of data• To create a model of an animal cell• We are learning the characteristics of living things• We are learning to understand the concept of electron shells

and how this gives elements a particular valency• To draw and label a diagram of the eye• We are learning to debate whether the greenhouse effect is

responsible for changes in global weather patterns• We are learning to understand the main cause of Acid rain• To complete activities 1b, 2c, and 3c from page 41 of your

textbook• We are learning to interpret pie charts• We are learning to improve our skills in using a thermometer

Lesson outcomes

• How do you know if the pupils have achieved the lesson objectives?

• How do the pupils know that they have achieved the lesson objectives?

• What evidence do you need to answer these questions?

Page 16: Lesson Planning 1 – setting objectives. Objectives of this lecture: To consider what pupils will learn during a lesson To write Learning Objectives (LOs)

Lesson Planning 1 – setting objectives.

Lesson outcomes

You need to make to clear to the pupils at the beginning what they

need to do/produce by the end of the lesson

e.g.

• You will have written a prediction in your books

• You will be able to answer the questions on the board about microbes

• You will have produced a poster which shows the characteristics of

vertebrates

Framing an outcome

The Key Stage 3 strategy suggest using WILF …

• What I’m Looking For …

Page 18: Lesson Planning 1 – setting objectives. Objectives of this lecture: To consider what pupils will learn during a lesson To write Learning Objectives (LOs)

Lesson Planning 1 – setting objectives.

So how about a WILF for our WALT?

We Are Learning To ………

1. find out information using a book and computer.

What I’m Looking For …

1. Is a sentence in your exercise book that tells me which research method you liked best.

2. Is a sentence that explains why you thought this method was the best.

Using success criteria for learning outcomes

How do the pupils know that they have successfully met the lesson

outcomes?

Page 20: Lesson Planning 1 – setting objectives. Objectives of this lecture: To consider what pupils will learn during a lesson To write Learning Objectives (LOs)

Lesson Planning 1 – setting objectives.

Lesson objective:

• We are learning to write a conclusion

Lesson outcome:

• To write a conclusion in your books

Success criteria:

• Have you described the effect that temperature has on enzyme activity? (ie. The shape of your graph?)

• Have you pointed out any significant temperatures where changes in activity occur?

• Have you used your scientific knowledge to explain your findings?

• Have you used key scientific words in your conclusion? E.g. Denatured, kinetic energy, collisions, tertiary structure, lock and key?

Page 21: Lesson Planning 1 – setting objectives. Objectives of this lecture: To consider what pupils will learn during a lesson To write Learning Objectives (LOs)

Lesson Planning 1 – setting objectives.

Differentiation

The objectives and/or outcomes may not be the same for all pupils

e.g.• WALT…. Apply our knowledge to decide an appropriate range of

temperatures to use during this experiment.• WALT ….. Accurately measure temperatures during this experiment

using a thermometer• WILF…. A justification for the temperature range used.• WILF ….. Accurate measurements using a thermometer

Page 22: Lesson Planning 1 – setting objectives. Objectives of this lecture: To consider what pupils will learn during a lesson To write Learning Objectives (LOs)

Lesson Planning 1 – setting objectives.

Differentiation

The WALTs and WILFs may be the same but the success criteriadifferent.Higher ability• Have you described the effect that temperature has on enzyme activity? (ie. The

shape of your graph?)• Have you pointed out any significant temperatures where changes in activity occur?• Have you used your scientific knowledge to explain your findings?• Have you used key scientific words in your conclusion? E.g. Denatured, kinetic

energy, collisions, tertiary structure, lock and key?

Lower ability• Have you said what happens to enzyme activity when you increase the temperature?• Have you used your scientific knowledge to explain your findings?• Have you used key scientific words in your conclusion? E.g. Denatured, kinetic

energy, collisions.
