Lesson Plan Template (Direct Instruction)
Teachers: Kaitlin Gagen
Subject: Science
Molecules
Atoms
Objective (Explicit):
The student will be able to identify the different parts of an atom and explain what happens
when two or more atoms join together.
Evidence of Mastery (Measurable):
The student will complete the exit ticket with 100% accuracy.
Instructional Input
The teacher will pose the question, Who remembers what an atom is?
Teacher Will:
How will you model/explain/demonstrate
all knowledge/skills required of the
objective?
What types of visuals will you use?
How will you address misunderstandings
or common student errors?
How will you check for understanding?
How will you explain and model
behavioral expectations?
Is there enough detail in this section so
that another person could teach it?
Student Will:
What will students be doing to
actively capture and process the new
material?
How will students be engaged?

say it aloud.
The teacher will discuss with the students that
atoms make up everything from pencils, to
houses, to stars, to dogs, to us.
The teacher will ask what objects students
can think of that are made of atoms. Accept
about 5-8 responses.
The teacher will go over what makes up an
atom by going over the definitions of proton,
neutron, electron, and nucleus that she will
hang on a giant post it note on the board.
The teacher will display a picture of an
atom and a molecule to explain where
each goes in the diagram.
The teacher will ask if there are any
questions or clarifications that the
students need and answer them
accordingly.
Co-Teaching Strategy
Which co-teaching approach will you use to maximize student achievement?
One teacher will circulate the room while the other teacher is talking so that the
students know to pay attention.
Differentiation Strategy
What accommodations/modifications will you include for specific students?
Do you anticipate any students who will need an additional challenge?
Guided Practice
If a student is struggling, the teacher will hover near that students area so that the
student can be helped along when needed.
I do not anticipate any other students having any challenges.
Teacher Will:

Is there enough detail in this section so that
another person could facilitate this
practice?
The teacher will then bring out the
marshmallow molecules.
Students will listen to directions
The teacher will tell the students that

Co-Teaching Strategy
Which co-teaching approach will you use to maximize student achievement?
Both teachers will be walking around and helping any groups who do not
understand the assignment.
Differentiation Strategy
What accommodations/modifications will you include for specific students?
Do you anticipate any students who will need an additional challenge?
How can you utilize grouping strategies?
Independent Practice
MOLECULE MADNESS
The teachers will be walking around if the students have any question on the exit
ticket.
Differentiation Strategy
What accommodations/modifications will you include for specific students?
Do you anticipate any students who will need an additional challenge?
I do not anticipate any students needing modifications or additional challenges during the exit
ticket.
Closing/Student Reflection/Real-life connections:
How will students summarize and state the significance of what they learned?
Why will students be engaged?
The teacher will pass out the exit ticket to each student and have them complete it to summarize what they
have learned.
