Are you searching for a model science skill of probing questions micro lesson plan? In this post, I will be sharing a model micro lesson plan for the skill of Probing in Questioning in Science to practice micro-teaching. This micro lesson plan of Science for probing in questioning is available in PDF.
The Skill of Probing Questioning in Science Micro Lesson Plan for B. Ed. Students
There are 10 major skills of micro-teaching practiced in teacher training institutions or B. Ed. colleges. The basic objective of microteaching is to make teacher education programs scientific, effective, and meaningful. In the teacher training institutions which are under Dibrugarh University, micro-teaching is practiced in the 3rd semester. This science micro plan will be very helpful for those who are pursuing B.

Components of The Skill of Probing Questioning in Micro-Teaching
There are five components of the skill of probing in question. These are –
- Prompting
- Redirecting
- Refocusing
- Seeking further information
- Questions aimed at critical awareness & evaluation
Remember that you have to include all of the components in your science skill of probing questions micro lesson plan or micro-teaching lesson plan on the skill of probing in questioning. Also, while performing micro-teaching you will need to perform by keeping these components in mind.
To practice micro-teaching on a particular subject you have to make a micro lesson plan for that subject. The format of the micro lesson plan varies depending on the skill of micro-teaching. Since making a micro lesson plan isn’t very easy. So in this post, you will learn how to make a micro lesson plan for the skill of probing questions or questioning in Science.

| Step | Teacher’s Activities | Pupils’ Activities | Components of the skill |
| I N T R O D U C T I O N | The teacher will welcome the pupils and ask the following question: (After every question the teacher will pause for little while and he/she will direct pupils at random to give answer. He/she will give clues if necessary.) | The pupils are expected to answer correctly as follows: | All the components of fluency in questioning. |

Name some natural places from where water evaporates to the atmosphere. (ask another pupil) 5. How clouds are formed in the sky? 6. Is it possible that some water that evaporates from the earth can come back to earth? 7. What are the physical states which water can exist? 8. What will happen if there are no clouds? | – No response – From the clouds. – Physical changes mean the changes in shape and size of a substance. – River, Lakes – Water which evaporates from the earth forms clouds in the sky. – Yes – Solid, liquid and gas – There will be no rain on earth and hence farmers will face difficulties in their farming. | Prompting Seeking further information Redirecting Refocusing Seeking further information Seeking further information Questioned aimed at critical answers |
