Professional Development Plan

(What do YOU need to work on in order to grow professionally?)

1. Choose and describe an aspect from a teaching competency that you need to work on (Goal): time
management.

2. Describe what you will do to help achieve your goal (Strategies Used): I will try to expect the time for each
step of lesson as its needed and take care the time during teaching lesson.

3. Describe how you can tell if you’re achieving your goal (Evidence): Notice If each step is went as I planned
for it. Teachers’ feedback at the end of the lesson.

Grade Level: 3 Subject: Science Learning Outcome (ADEC code and words): Not included

Title of Lesson: A brief description of my Lesson in my own words: This is the four lesson of the “Rocks
investigate the and Soil” unit and it take about investigate the properties of sand and water. In this
properties of sand and lesson the students are going to investigate sand a little more and carry out a test to see
water. how much water we need to add to sand to build the best sand castle?

my own words) how
much sand and water
is needed to form a

shape?
Learning Outcomes (including strand and sub strand)

 The students will be able to decide which amount of water is the best to build sand castle.
Essential Question:

What are properties of sand and water?

Guided Questions:

 What are 3 types of Rocks?

 Did you do investigated the rocks?
 What is the softest Rock you found?
 Which amount of water and sand is the best to build sand castle.
 How will we measure the strength of the shape?
 What shape will it be?
