Sciences repeat lessons to two groups: adjusting expectations and strategies

The PCR (Protein Chain Reaction) lesson will be taught by two different teachers to two different Groups, A and B. The first lesson with Group A had already been taught prior to our Monday cell meeting. Some of this lesson was videod reflection. A brief reflection on the lesson already showed that the learners enjoyed the opportunity to work at  their own pace. The point of why PCR is necessary was slightly lost on the learners, but that will be covered again in the second lesson of this lesson study.

DNA (Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid) replication- the knowledge component of this topic should rather be covered before this activity is done with the learners. The lesson will be repeated, with amendments,  by another teacher, using students in Group B. The second lesson of this lesson study is will involve a case study on PCR, which will be done in groups. Observations of colleagues teaching these lessons will also take place.
