SAMAR model

 

 The SAMR model is a framework that educators can use to integrate technology into teaching and learning effectively. It stands for Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, and Redefinition. This model helps teachers understand different levels of technology integration in the classroom and how it can transform learning experiences for students. 

the SAMR model offers several advantages for teachers. It helps educators in effectively integrating technology into their teaching practices by providing a structured approach to technology use. The model encourages teachers to move beyond simply substituting traditional methods with technology and strive for higher levels of integration that can transform and enhance learning experiences for students. By following the SAMR model, teachers can create more engaging and interactive lessons, promote collaboration, and foster critical thinking skills among students. It also enables teachers to adapt their instructional strategies to meet the diverse needs of learners in the digital age.

in substitution, technology acts as a direct tool to substitute with no functional change.

in augmentation, technology acts as a direct tool to substitute with functional improvement.

in modification, technology allows for significant task redesign. 

in redefinition, technology allows creation of new task, previously inconceivable. 

lesson plan

teacher: Sonam Choden

subject: science 

class: 4 

topic: cooling and heating substances. 

lesson objective: 

by the ned of the lesson, student will be able to;

explain the process of coooling and heating substances 

identify factors that affect these processes

demonstrate understanding by conducting simple experiments to observe changes in temperature. 

Lesson Development 

information input

introduce the topic heating and cooling of substances by showing them a video from YouTube making sure that the video is very precise about what is happening and why it's happening. 

teach them the basic principles of heating and cooling of any substance. 

explain the change in the state of matter on both heating and cooling.

activity 1 ''hot and cold-water experiment''

1. Fill two containers with water, one with hot water and the other with cold water.

2. Provide students with thermometers to measure the initial temperature of each container.

3. Ask students to predict what will happen when an object (like a metal spoon or a plastic toy) is placed in each container.

4. Have students place the object in the hot water first and observe any changes in temperature.

5. Next, have them transfer the object to the cold water and note the temperature change.

6. Encourage students to discuss why the object heats up in the hot water and cools down in the cold water.

7. Finally, have students record their observations and summarize the concepts of heating and cooling they learned from the experiment.

activity 2 ''heat transfer station''

1. Set up different stations representing various methods of heat transfer such as conduction, convection, and radiation. 

2. at the conduction station, students can touch objects made of different materials to feel how heat transfers.

3. At the convection station, they can observe how hot water rises and cold water sinks.

 Lastly, at the radiation station, they can feel the heat from a heat lamp. This activity allows students to experience heat transfer firsthand and understand the concepts better.
