| Lesson opening (5 min) Engagement (Riddle) |
Teacher: "Good morning! To start our summative assessment, I have a riddle for you. Listen carefully: 'I am not alive, but I grow; I don't have lungs, but I need air; I don't have a mouth, but water kills me. What am I?' Take one minute to think and write your hypothesis in your notebook. Who would like to share their idea and reasoning?"
Teacher listens to 2-3 hypotheses (e.g., "a plant?" – "But it says it's not alive." / "a fire?" – "Interesting! Why do you think so?"). Teacher confirms the correct answer (fire) and links it to the unit: "Excellent. Fire is a powerful natural force, and today you will use your knowledge of the natural world to show what you've learned." |
Students listen to the riddle. They think individually and write down their guess. Volunteers raise hands to share their hypothesis, explaining their reasoning (e.g., "I think it's fire because it grows with oxygen and water puts it out"). |
Descriptors:
|
Whiteboard/marker, student notebooks.
AI Tool Suggestion: An AI image generator (like DALL-E or Midjourney) could be used beforehand to create an abstract visual clue for the riddle, stimulating visual thinking and curiosity. |
