Engaging Science Lesson Introduction for Grade 7

Objective

Today, we'll dive into the fascinating world of self-monitoring in science. Our focus will be on setting measurable goals that will not only enhance your understanding of scientific concepts but also help you track your progress as learners.

Lesson Kick-Off: The Science of You!

To kick off our lesson, let's start with an engaging activity that highlights the importance of setting goals in science—and how you can measure your progress!

  1. Goal Setting Chart
    Imagine you're an astronaut preparing for a mission to explore a new planet. Before you lift off, you need to be well-prepared! Just like astronauts, we can also set specific goals that help us monitor our preparation and progress in science.

  2. Personal Science Goals: Time to Measure!
    Each of you will think of one specific science goal you would like to achieve by the end of this unit. For example:

    • Goal 1: "I will conduct three science experiments at home and document my findings in a lab notebook."
    • Goal 2: "I will improve my understanding of the scientific method by correctly identifying the steps in at least four class activities."

Your Task

Conclusion

By setting a clear and measurable goal for yourself, you are not only taking control of your learning but are also practicing the scientific method in a personal way. This will be the foundation for our explorations in the world of science!
