Create a detailed lesson plan for chemistry of group 0 element lesson for Year 10 following the UK
National Curriculum. The lesson should be 20 minutes long and cover the topic of group 0 element.
Include the following sections:
Learning objectives (aligned to the National Curriculum).
• A starter activity to engage students.
• A main teaching sequence with teacher explanations and student activities.
• Key questions to check understanding.
• Differentiation strategies for SEND, EAL, and higher- attaining students.
Plenary activity to consolidate learning.
• Assessment opportunities (formative and summative).
Use clear and structured language, ensuring the plan is suitable for UK classrooms."
✔ Review the Al-generated plan and make any necessary adjustments before proceeding.
Now, act as a teacher delivering this lesson. Teach the lesson as if you were in a UK classroom, using
clear and engaging explanations. Assume the students are Year [X] and have mixed prior knowledge on
the topic.
As you 'teach', simulate students responding. Some students should:
• Ask relevant questions about the topic.
• Give incorrect answers due to common misconceptions.
• Struggle with parts of the lesson and ask for clarification.
• Demonstrate understanding by giving strong answers.
Structure the conversation as a back-and-forth teacher- student dialogue."
✔ Observe how the Al simulates student responses and note any areas where they struggle.
Step 3: Identify Student Misconceptions & Generate Teaching Reflections
Copy & paste this into the AI:
Prompt:
"Analyse the above simulated classroom lesson. Identify.
• Any moments where students struggled or misunderstood key concepts.
• Any areas where the lesson explanation could be clearer.
• Any parts where the teacher's questioning could be improved.
• Opportunities to better differentiate for different abilities.
List these as specific feedback points.'
Use the Al's insights to identify areas for improvement in your lesson plan.
Step 4: Improve the Lesson Plan
→ Copy & paste this into the Al:
Prompt:
"Based on the teaching reflection and student misconceptions, revise the original lesson plan to:
Clarify explanations for challenging concepts.
• Include improved questioning techniques to check for understanding.
• Add strategies to preempt common misconceptions.
• Enhance differentiation approaches to support all learners.
Provide the revised lesson plan in the same structured format as before."
Review and finalise the updated lesson plan.
Optional Step 5: Test Further Improvements (Second Iteration)
Copy & paste this into the AI:
Prompt:
"Now, re-run the simulated classroom scenario using the improved lesson plan. Observe whether
students still struggle, and adjust again if necessary."
Repeat until satisfied with the lesson quality.
