SAMR model lesson plan

Integrating technology means use of learning technology to introduce, reinforce, supplement and extend skills. SAMR is one of the ICT integration model which can be integrated in the lesson planning. 

SAMR stands for 

S-Substitution (The technology is a direct tool substitute, with no functional change.)

A-Augmentation (The technology is a direct tool substitute, with functional improvement)

M-Modification (The technology allows for significant task redesign)         

R-Redefinition (The technology allows for the creation of new tasks, previously inconceivable)

The SAMR model is a planning tool that helps to design better learning activities for students. The framework provides pedagogical insight into how technology can and should be used in the classroom. 

This Model moves through various stages, beginning at a basic level of learning in the substitution phase through to a level where learning is transformational at the redefinition level.

I have planned a lesson plan using SAMR model to teach grade V students on the topic 'parts of flower.'  For the substitution, I  used video to enhance students understanding as well as to convince what they will be learning . Likewise, for augmentation, i have assigned task where students are required to draw a labelled diagram of parts of flower in the Google Docs.  Finally I have used Mentimeter for follow up activity where students will be answering the quiz.

 Lesson plan 

 Teacher name: Pema Golay

Sub: science

class ; V

Topic: Parts of flower

Time : 45  minutes 

ICT model: SAMR model

 TLM:

1. Video on parts of flower,
2. Computer ( Google Docs, Mentimeter)

Previous knowledge: 

1. students are familiar with the flowers they have seen around their surrounding

2. Students know that living things reproduce.

3. Students know how plants adapt in the specific habitat.

Lesson objectives: 

Student will be able to;

1. Identify different parts of flower correctly after the demonstration

2. Analyze the functions of parts of flowers clearly after the teachers explanation

3. Write the answers for the questions correctly by the end of the lesson.

Lesson introduction: 5 minutes

Greetings to the students 

Ask students if they love flowers and plant flowers at home. 

Ask if they can identify some parts of the flower. 

Show one video on parts of a flower. Choose a video that explains the parts and functions of a parts of a  flower. 

Substitution :

Parts of a Flower | Pollination Video | Science for Kids | Parts of Flower and their Functions

Lesson input: 9 minutes

Discuss the parts, functions  process of pollination in flowers using the diagram.

Lesson development: 15minutes

Augmentation:

Let the students draw a labeled  diagram of a flower and color them on a Google Docs. Students should correctly label all the parts of a flower and color it. 

Instruction: Open google Docs, draw a well labelled diagram of parts of a flower, color it and show me.

Follow up : 10 minutes

Let the students answer the quiz using Mentimeter. 

Students should log into the Menti meter with a given link and answer the questions individually.

Discuss the answers with the class once the students are done with answering the questions.

Lesson Closure: 6 minutes

End the lesson by summarizing the content learned. Ask for volunteers on the functions of some parts of the flower. : anther, stigma, style.
