🔬 ILAW Lesson Plan in Science — Official DepEd Format

I — Intentions

Learning Competency from MATATAG Science curriculum, Learning Objectives (specific knowledge/skills/tasks students will demonstrate), and Learner Context (student observations, strengths, barriers to Science learning).

L — Learning Experiences

Pre-Lesson (review, motivation, priming activities), Flow (inquiry-based activities applying Learning Design Principles — experiments, observations, discussions), Learning Resources, and Integration opportunities.

A — Assessment

Formative Assessment tools — observation checklists, exit tickets, short quizzes, lab reports. Must include accommodations for diverse learners.

W — Ways Forward

Extended Learning (home-based observations, science videos), and Teacher Reflections (what worked, what to change, student interests for next session).

Use Inquiry-Based Learning in the Flow

The Flow section should include hands-on experiments and observations following Learning Design Principles — guide learners before letting them try independently.

Include Alternative Resources

In Learning Resources, always list alternatives in case of emergencies (e.g., no electricity — use printed materials instead of video).

Formative Assessment with Accommodations

Remember to include accommodations in your Assessment — some students may respond verbally, through drawing, or in small groups instead of written tests.

Reflect in Ways Forward

Use the Reflections section to note what students are curious about — this can guide your next lesson and help you personalize learning.
