Part 1: Observation

Grade Level: 8 Description of Science Lesson: Nutrition
Describe additional academic content areas that were present in the lesson.	The students were also taught on food and personal hygiene.
Document the evidence that demonstrates that the teacher encouraged students to understand the material and ask questions for clarity.	The educator encouraged students to understand the material and ask questions for clarity by putting them in groups of four, and giving them a topic to discuss after ten minutes. Other students were free to ask the presenting group about the presentation. Educators also asked the groups questions about their performances.
Document opportunities that reflect on prior content knowledge, including cultural relevance, and specific academic language to support the instruction in the identified science content area.	Some of the terms used include eating disorder, nutrient dense, media influence and cultural expectations.
Document how students responded during instruction and independent work.	Instruction work: The students responded well at first, because they followed guidelines provided, and asked for clarification when faced with ambiguity. Independent work: It was challenging at first because the students did not understand what was required of them. However, after instructional work, they carried out their independent tasks seamlessly.
Describe how students were assessed throughout and at the end of the lesson. Did all students participate?	During the lesson, students were assessed by their level of participation by answering questions and asking questions. After the lesson, a continuous assessment was carried out to find out if they had mastered concepts and were able to apply them. It was a timed assessment to enable them to manages time better.

Part 2: Reflection

The pre-assessment data provided data that determined the gaps and needs of the students because it enabled the instructor to understand the needs of the poorly performing students in the class. Data accrued served as a guideline on what was to be used as teaching material, and the methods of teaching to be employed, to enable the weaker students to keep up. Learning gaps such as poor understanding of concepts, poor remembrance, and application were discovered and led to the formation of methods that enable the students to understand nutrition concepts better, remember them, and apply in daily life. The ethical use of assessment data is whereby there is confidentiality. Hence, the students identified will not have their privacy violated by releasing the data to unqualified staff or other students. Furthermore, the data is stored safely; to prevent access from unauthorized third parties. Data accrued is also utilized for the intended function only, which is to improve the learning outcomes for science students in grade 8. Development and delivering of the pre-assessment was challenging because the time provided to conduct an assessment was not enough. It is a comprehensive task to assess the learning capabilities of a learner fully, and the time provided was not enough to exhaustively conduct the assessment. In future, the findings will enable me to consider the learning needs of every learner. Thus, the creation of learning material will be with consideration to each learner to ensure the best learning outcomes.
