Micro-Teaching is an integral part of the B.Ed. course. During micro-teaching, you have to prepare micro lesson plans to learn the skill of micro-teaching. If you are searching for help in preparing a micro-teaching lesson plan, this article might help you. In this article, I will provide you with the 10 best science micro-teaching lesson plans for each skill of micro-teaching.
How to Prepare a Science Micro Teaching Lesson Plan?
Planning a lesson plan isn’t a simple thing. It requires a well pre-requisite knowledge of lesson plan preparation. A lesson plan gives directions to the teaching-learning process in a systematic way. Let us understand what is lesson plan and what is micro teaching lesson plan is at first.
What is a Lesson Plan?
A lesson plan is a plan that provides a beautiful description of what the teacher will do at what time, how to teach the content in which verse, and what teaching material will be used by the teacher to relate with the content. Basically, it is the planning made by the teacher before going for instruction. I have already published a post on what is a lesson plan.
What is Micro-Teaching?
Micro-teaching is a process in which teaching is given to a certain number of students in a certain situation within a certain period, focusing on the student’s learning skills and providing them accordingly. Teaching strategies are a special teaching methodology given to teacher trainees to master their teaching strategies in the educational training program to transform the behavior of teacher trainees.

Major Skills Practiced in Micro Teaching
Ten major skills are practiced in teacher training institutions during micro-teaching. These skills are listed below.
- The skill of writing instructional objectives in behavioral terms
- The skill of Introducing a Lesson
- The Skill of Blackboard Writing
- The skill of Fluency in Questioning
- The skill of Probing Questioning
- The skill of Stimulus Variation
- Skill of Explaining
- The skill of demonstration
- Skill of reinforcement
- The skill of achieving closure
The purpose of each skill of micro-teaching is different. So, the format of the lesson plan for each skill also varies. Also, each skill has its own unique components which have to be used in our lesson plan. So, to get a better understanding of how to make lesson plans, I have provided you with 10 ready-made micro lesson plans for science.
Various Steps of Preparation of Science Micro Teaching Lesson Plan
Preparation of micro lesson plans for science or any other subject requires following certain steps. The various steps involved in the process of preparing a micro-teaching lesson plan are discussed below –
#1 Clarify the Skill:
First, you need to decide the skill of micro-teaching for which you are going to prepare the science micro lesson plan. There are 10 major skills of micro-teaching. Among these skills, you have to choose one.
#2 Select the Class and Topic:
After the selection of the skill, you need to select a particular class and any topic from the science textbook that you wish to present in micro-teaching practice.
#3 Identify the Teaching Aids and Preparation of Teaching Aids:
Presentation of any skills of micro-teaching need includes the use of teaching. Teaching aids help to make teaching more entertaining and understandable. So, identify all the teaching aids that you need to present this topic and prepare them.
#4 Write General Objectives:
After that, write down the general objectives of teaching science. You can write the general objectives of teaching science the same for all science micro-teaching lesson plans.
#5 Specific Objectives:
Write special objectives in terms of Knowledge, Understanding, Application, and Skill. The specific objectives have to be based on the topic that you have chosen.
#6 Preparation of Lesson Plan:
After completing the above steps, now it is time to prepare the complete science micro lesson plan. The micro lesson plan of science will contain three main important parts – Introduction, Presentation, and Conclusion. Below 10 models of science micro lesson plans are given for all 10 major skills of micro-teaching.
10 Model Science Micro Lesson Plan PDF for B.Ed. Practical File
As you know, micro-teaching is practiced in all teacher training institutions. For that you will need to make a lesson plan on each skill of micro-teaching for a particular subject. For example: If you are going to practice micro-teaching science, then you have to make science lesson plans on each of the 10 major skills of micro-teaching.
Making a lesson plan is quite difficult sometimes. Especially, using the components of the skill is difficult. For that, you should have the proper knowledge of that skill and its components. I have already published posts on how to use the components of the skill of micro-teaching.
To help you make lesson plans, I have given the PDF of sample lesson plans for all skills of micro-teaching. But before that let’s have a quick look at the major skills of micro-teaching practiced in B.Ed. colleges.
PDFs of Skill Wise Science Micro Lesson Plan for B.Ed.
Since it is not possible to attach all the PDF files in a single post, I have given you the link for each lesson plan. Please refer to the table and get your science for your desired skill.
| Sl. No. | The Skill of The Science Micro Lesson Plan | Link |
