How to plan a 1hr science lesson: NB/ Note for the wary. This is how I do it. It’s not the only way. I used this resource to support trainee teachers to develop their lesson structure and provide a rough guide to how a lesson evolves to the end. They seemed happy. Included is a breakdown of the different stages of a lesson following the principle of: Starter Guided Learning Guided Practice Independent Practice Plenary Each stage is explained with do’s and don’ts A sample lesson plan template A Lesson Plan Checklist.
