Reflection Of A Lesson Plan

Each lesson plan presents its own unique issues. The lesson plan this week focused primarily on a lab. I wanted to make sure that the information in the lab was fully applicable to a lesson and a SOL. During my field placement, my cooperating teacher had me design a lesson plan about photosynthesis. I chose to use the powerpoint and lesson I taught and modify it for this assignment. This was much easier to say than do. This was a good experience though because it taught me even modifying a lesson plan can be time consuming and challenging. It was nice to be able to use PowerPoints I had already created, though.
When I taught the lesson on photosynthesis, it took much longer than I expected and I was not able to incorporate everything into every class. I tried to keep this in mind when adding in the lab and make sure …show more content…

If they know the potential dangers, hopefully, they will take the lab safety rules more seriously. I plan to have the lab rules posted in the lab for the students to refer back to. Also after reviewing all of this information I want the students to take a quiz on lab safety that requires 100% before they can proceed to any labs. If they have to take it multiple times that is fine because they will be thinking about the subject until they have it mastered. I also want to use fun videos like this lab safety rap periodically before labs (Burkett, 2016).
