If you are pursuing any professional courses like B. Ed. and D. El. Ed. in any institution, you probably know the importance of Micro-teaching. Almost in every teacher training institution micro-teaching is practiced. To practice micro-teaching you will need to make a micro lesson plan for that subject. 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.
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. Ed. or D. El. Ed. under Dibrugarh University.
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.

This is a sample micro lesson plan on probing questions skills for micro-teaching. This is a mathematics micro plan for mathematics teaching practice in the B.Ed. college. For a proper view of this lesson plan please view the attached PDF on this post.
Identification of data:
| Subject: General Science Topic: Changes Around Us Class: VI | Teacher: Jintu Sonowal Time: 6 min Date: |
| Steps | Teacher’s Activities | Pupils’ Activities | Component of the skill |
|---|---|---|---|
| I N T R O D U C I N G | 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 probing in questioning. |
| D E V E L O P M E N T | 1. How does the formation of clouds is a physical change? (Pupils Name) 2. Alright, from where does rains comes from? (The teacher will provide this question as a clue or hints which help the pupil to response.) 3. What do you mean by physical change? 4. Name some natural places from where water are evaporates to atmosphere. (ask other pupil) 5. How clouds are formed in the sky? 6. Is it possible that some water which evaporates from the earth can come back to earth? 7. What are the physical states that water can exist? 8. What will happen if there are no clouds? | – No response – From the clouds. – Physical changes means the changes in shape, size of a substance. – River, Lakes – Water which evaporates from earth forms cloud 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 |
| C O M P L E T I O N | The teacher will appreciate the responses of the pupils and encourage them for their future progress. After explaining the importance of the lesson in brief he/she comes out of the classroom. | The pupils will listen attentively. |
