Middle level of ICT Integration

Reflection on PhET Simulation๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š

Today we learned about the PhET simulation which can be used in teaching science, social studies, and mathematics.

Phet simulation is really helpful as we can do everything virtually in a very easy way. The needed equipment are all provided and you don't need to get scared because of misreading as well as some circuit shock or any other.
You don't need to even handle those corrosive chemicals physically. For safety, PhET simulation is really handy and helpful, especially for young learners.

To open PhET Simulation, first type https://phet.colorado.edu/.

Some other Examples of PhET Simulation.                                        
Math PhET Simulation on Fraction 

PhET Simulation on States of Matter

Today we did a phET simulation on the construction of AC circuits. It was really helpful and was very safe as sometimes we misplaced batteries which led to shot circuits but luckily it was virtual.
It was so realistic as well as very easy compared to real ones. Here, there is enough equipment for us to work on as well as you just need to drag and connect.

We have to fill this worksheet after playing with the simulation.๐Ÿ‘‡

Now, Let me take you to the lesson plan format while integrating PhET simulation( Middle ICT Integration) 

Lesson Plan: Sydney Micro lesson 

Subject: Science
Topic: States of Matter
Duration: 35 minutes.
Class: 4

 Materials Needed:

- PhET Simulation: States of Matter (available online)

- Laptop/computer or projector for displaying the simulation

- Worksheets for recording observations and answers

Previous Knowledge:

The students already know about different types of matter and know what is PhET simulation.

Objectives:

By the end of the lesson, the students will be able to : 

manipulate the PhET simulation to observe changes in states of matter correctly after the activity;

differentiate between the three states of matter (solid, liquid, gas)  correctly concerning  temperature changes;

develop an appreciation for the importance of understanding states of matter in everyday life effectively at the end of the class.

Lesson Introduction (5 minutes):

- Greet the students and briefly discuss the concept of matter.

- Introduce the topic of states of matter and explain that matter can exist in three main states: solid, liquid, and gas.

- Share real-life examples of each state of matter.


Information Input

 Activity 1: Exploration of PhET Simulation (20 minutes):

- Demonstrate on how to use the PhEt simulation to the whole class on the states of matter and the effect of temperature on the molecules of each state of matter.

- Divide students into small groups of 5.

- Provide each group with a laptop/computer or access to the simulation on a projector ( # If not visit  ICT Lab ).

- Instruct students to explore the PhET simulation on states of matter and let the students record the below table and let them draw the arrangement of molecules.


Table 1 






- Encourage them to interact with the simulation by changing the temperature, observing the behavior of particles, and identifying the different states of matter.

- Circulate around the classroom to assist students and facilitate discussions.

Closure (10 minutes):

- Recap the main concepts learned during the lesson: the three states of matter and the factors that affect changes in states.

- Discuss any questions or observations students had during the activities.

- Emphasize the importance of understanding states of matter in everyday life.

- Assign homework, such as researching examples of each state of matter found in the home or environment.

Assessment:

- Assess students’ understanding through their participation in the activities, their ability to manipulate the simulation, and their responses to questions and experiments.

- Review completed worksheets and observations made during the lesson to gauge individual comprehension.
