On 14th April, 2024 we learned about PhET simulation which can be integrated in the teaching and learning. I learned that it is very important to to learn about PhET simulation because it not only gives us the practical experience of doing things but also reduces the risk and provides safety factors for the students in their learning. With the shift in the education paradigm PhET simulation in our current education system can be used to provide students with hands on experience and from my experience in learning PhET simulation I felt that through Integrating Simulations in our teaching we can help our students connect to real world like for instance when we learned circuit through PhET simulation it provides the real world knowledge on the importance of circuit. Furthermore, through PhET simulation I learned that it also supports and promotes exploration in designing creativity in an individual.

Now, I will take you through my lesson plan in which middle level of ICT Integration through PhET simulation is included:
Lesson Plan
Class- III
Subject- Math's
Topic- Comparing Numbers
Lesson Objectives
By the end of the lesson the student will be able to.
a. compare
numbers using PhET simulation accurately after teachers’ demonstration,
b. write
the numerical relationship between numbers precisely after teachers’ explanation,
c. share
two importance of basic mathematical operations in a digital environment
correctly after the activity.
Material: Computers,
internet, projector, Phet simulation game, handouts for guided practice and
assessment
Prior Knowledge:
They know about Numbers and counts.
Lesson Introduction
-
I will greet the students and use a video
from YouTube as energizer to start the class. Then I will start the class by
asking the students about their understand of numbers and ask few students to volunteer
to come Infront and I will use the board to write two numbers and the students
compare which number is greater than the other. Then I will begin the class by
introducing the topic of comparing numbers to the students and explaining the
concept.
Lesson Development
-
Then I will discuss the importance of
comparing numbers in mathematics and everyday life. Then I will explain that
today the students will use PhET simulation game to explore and practice
comparing numbers in a digital environment.
-
After that I will ask one student to
repeat my instruction and then start the whole class demonstration where I will
project the PhET simulation number comparing game on the screen and guide the
students through the features of the simulation, including how to compare,
adjust the scale and how to change the number in the game.
-
Then I will demonstrate the use of PhET
simulation and discuss the concept of distance and relationship between
numbers.
Activity
-
Then I will divide the class into pairs
and then let them compare different numbers using the PhET simulation game and
later share their findings to the whole class with reasonings and strategies
they used. I will ask one student to repeat my instructions and circulate the
room to help and guidance as students work through the comparison.
Follow up Activity
-
For this I will ask the students to
individually write town the two importance of basic mathematical operations in
a digital environment correctly after the use of PhET simulation in the
previous activity and then supplement on their findings.
Assessment
-
I will tell the students to open google
docs and there I will provide digital quiz of the PhET simulation game of
comparing numbers and assess them through it.
Lesson closure
-
To conclude the session, I will bring the
class together for a summarization of the concept learned and provide questions
as homework to be solved.
