The Power of Teaching Scenario (a Teaching Scenario Example)

Sometimes, a teacher needs to make a teaching scenario before she go to class to teach the students.

The teachers can use of Scenario-Based Learning Approach in Teaching Statics. so that the class can be handled by them.

This, I made an example of teaching scenario of Sains. The sains theme is water cycle. here it is :

 

TEACHER TALKS

THEME: WATER CYCLE

 The interaction between Teacher and Students.
 First step is apperception before we go to the main topic. The apperception's function is to greet the students and make the relax situation.
We can make the apperception that Relate today’s material with the previous one.
After the apperception is the new concept, it is integers till the last one is evaluation. Evaluation is a systematic determination of a subject's merit, worth and significance, using criteria governed by a set of standards.
The evaluation reviewing whether the new concept grasped by the pupils. Asking some questions as feedback.

The initials T is Teacher and the initials S is Students.
Here is the dialogue :

T.      Good morning class

      How are you today?

Ps. (respond)

T.      Today, we have a new material.

Do you know about kinds of numbers?

Ps. (respond)

T. Okay. There are six kinds of numbers.

     There are counting numbers (bilangan cacah), natural numbers (bilangan asli), odd numbers (bilangan ganjil), even numbers (bilangan genap), integers (bilangan bulat), and prime numbers (bilangan prima).

      And now, we will discuss about integers.

      The earth has a limited amount of water.  That water keeps going around and around and around and around and in what we call the "Water Cycle"(give a picture of “Water Cycle”)       

This cycle is made up of a few main parts:

1. Evaporation (and transpiration)

2. Condensation

3. Precipitation

4. Collection

The first part is evaporation. Anyone knows what evaporation is? (give the picture of evaporation)

Ps. (respond)

T.      (Give another picture of evaporation) Evaporation is when the sun heats the water in rivers, lakes or the ocean and turns it into vapor or steam. The vapor or steam leaves the river, lake or ocean and goes into the air. To make it clear, you can try to make your own evaporation by heating some water in a kettle. Watch closely! If you see the steam rising, that’s what so called evaporation.

Now, imagine if today is a very hot day. What do you feel? Do you sweat?

Ps. (respond)

T.      What about plants? Do plants sweat?

Ps. (respond)

T.   (Give a picture of a sweated plant) Well, sort of people sweat and plants transpire what so called transpiration. Anyone knows what transpiration is?

Ps. (respond)

T.   Transpiration is the process by which plants lose water out of their leaves (give a picture of transpiration). Transpiration gives evaporation a bit of a hand in getting the water vapor back up into the air.

The second part is condensation. Anyone knows what condensation is? (give a picture of condensation)

Ps. (respond)

T. (Give another picture of condensation) Condensation is when water vapor in the air gets cold and changes back into liquid, forming clouds. You can make your own condensation at home. Put a large a piece of cardboard (or a book will work) in the freezer for about an hour. Now, take the boiling kettle of water and hold the cold book about one foot over the spout (right in the steam don’t forget to wear oven mitts). Water droplets will form on the book. But to make it clear, I have another experiment of condensation (put a glass and pour cold water into it). While we are waiting to see what is going happen with it, I’ll continue the third part that is precipitation. What is precipitation? (give a picture of precipitation)

Ps. (respond)

T. (Give another picture of precipitation) Precipitation occurs when so much water has condensed that the air cannot hold anymore. The clouds get heavy and water falls back to the earth in the form of rain, hail or snow. To see precipitation in action, you can continue the condensation experiment long enough. Not that one (point to the glass of cold water) but the one that you can make at home by using a piece of cardboard or book, do you remember that? After so much water condense on the book that it won’t be able to hold it all. At that point, water will start dripping down from the book and you’ve created precipitation!

      Now, take a look at our precipitation experiment. What happen after a few minutes? (take a good long look at the glass)

Ps. (respond)

T.   After a few minute water forms on the outside of the glass. Where did it come from?

Ps. (respond)

T. That water didn’t somehow leak through the glass! It actually came from the air. Water vapor in the warm air turns back into liquid when it touches the cold glass.

The last part is collection. What does collection mean?

Ps. (respond)

T.   Collection here means when water falls back to earth as precipitation (in the form of rain, hail, sleet, or snow), it may fall back in the oceans, lakes or rivers or it may end up on land.  When it ends up on land, it will either soak into the earth or become part of the “ground water” that plants and animals use to drink or it may run over the soil and collect in the oceans, lakes or rivers where the cycle starts all over again.

      Okay pupils, do you learn something new today?

Ps. (respond)

T.   What is that? Now you know about the “Water Cycle” right?

Ps. (respond)

T.   How many parts the “Water Cycle” is made up?

Ps. (respond)

T.   What are they?

Ps. (respond)

T.   What happen in evaporation?

Ps. (respond)

T.   What happen next? After evaporation?

Ps. (respond)

T.   What happen in condensation?

Ps. (respond)

T.   What happen next?

Ps. (respond)

T.   What happen in precipitation?

Ps. (respond)

T.   What happen next?

Ps. (respond)

T.   What does collection mean?

Ps. (respond)

T.   Seems that we are running out of time. That’s all for today and don’t forger to make your own experiments at home. Asking for help an adult, key! See you!
