Lesson Plan 1 (written in black, following the unit plan) This lesson introduces students to the idea of energy by activating their prior knowledge and encouraging curiosity. Through a quick mind map, a Mystery Box activity and a short explanation of stored and movement energy, students observe how energy appears in everyday objects and begin using simple scientific language to describe what they see. The focus is on exploration, discussion and building a clear foundation that prepares students for deeper learning about energy transfer and transformation in later lessons. 

Lesson Plan 2 – Is written below in purple, following Lesson Plan 1 (in black). This lesson plan is structured around the principles of Explicit Teaching. The lesson breaks down complex concepts of Energy Transfer and Transformation into clear, sequential and manageable steps. Teachers explicitly model the desired skills and thought processes through worked examples and “think-alouds,” guiding students from observation to explanation. Throughout the lesson, students are given multiple, scaffolded opportunities to practice new skills, while teachers actively check for understanding, provide immediate feedback and address misconceptions to ensure all learners progress toward mastery. 

Lesson Plan 3: Is written below in dark red This lesson uses a highly Multimodal Approach that combines demonstrations, visuals, digital tools and hands-on group tasks to make the concepts of energy conservation and efficiency accessible to all learners. Differentiation is embedded through movement-based inquiry, visual scaffolds, collaborative problem solving and structured support that allows every student to engage and succeed at their level. 

Lesson Plan 4 is written below in dark green. The lesson is delivered online and brings together learning from previous sessions, moving students into higher levels of Bloom’s taxonomy where they analyse, evaluate and justify renewable energy choices. Students apply prior knowledge in a real-world context by designing an off-grid eco-cottage and explaining their decisions using evidence and reasoning. The goal is to deepen conceptual understanding, support independent decision-making and strengthen the ability to connect learning to practical sustainability solutions.
