What I can do

To create a lesson plan using the Five Pillars of Teaching and Learning from Outwood Grange Academies Trust, we would structure the plan as follows:

### Lesson Plan: Introduction to Photosynthesis

#### Clarity of Learning Intentions
- **Objective**: Students will understand the process of photosynthesis and its importance to plant life and the global ecosystem.
- **Purpose**: Highlight why learning about photosynthesis is critical for understanding basic biological processes and environmental science.

#### Re-cap and Recall
- Begin the lesson by reviewing prior knowledge related to plant life cycles and cellular structures, focusing on what students already know about leaves, chlorophyll, and solar energy.
- Use a brief quiz or discussion to activate prior knowledge and identify any misconceptions from previous lessons.

#### New Information
- Introduce the concept of photosynthesis with clear explanations and models, using diagrams and videos to depict the process from sunlight capture to glucose production.
- Directly link the new content to the lesson’s learning goals discussed at the beginning.

#### Practice
- Activity: Engage students in a simulation of a photosynthesis process. This can be a role-play or an interactive online simulation where students can manipulate variables such as light intensity and carbon dioxide levels.
- Hands-on Experiment: Have students observe how plant leaves produce oxygen in water using clear jars and aquatic plants, measuring oxygen bubble output under different light conditions.

#### Feedback
- Provide feedback through questioning during the practice activity, focusing on how well students are linking theoretical content to the observable phenomena in their experiments.
- Conduct a group discussion where students can share their observations and receive targeted feedback on their understanding of photosynthesis components and processes.
- Written Feedback: Assign a short reflective writing task where students describe the photosynthesis process in their own words and highlight any difficulties they encountered. Provide comments on these reflections to guide further study【4:0†source】.

This structured approach ensures that the lesson is comprehensive and considers the variety of learning styles while adhering to the established teaching and learning framework.
