Phase 1-Cycle 2 -Assessing Prior Knowledge

Prior knowledge is assessed in the beginning of the lesson when the teacher shows a picture of the solar system and asks the students questions about the planets. A pre-test of some sort could be given before the actual lesson to access the students knowledge and see what level they are at technology wise as well as what they already know about planets. This would be helpful to know before the lesson so that the teacher would know what to incorporate into the lesson. Knowing what the students learning level of the solar system is before the lesson will also help the teacher know what activities will keep students engaged or make them bored.
