Difference between learning aims and objectives:

Learning aim  is a general statement for  what the teacher wants students to learn and sets the direction of the lesson and unit. it is more general and long term ( example: Theme “Nature Copycats”-“Students will understand how humans use ideas from nature (biomimicry) to solve problems.”)

Learning Objective is more specific, measurable statement that tells us exactly what students will be able to do as a result of the lesson.

Aim is a big picture and objectives are small steps in achieving of that big picture.

Example:

Theme : Nature Copycats

Learning aim:

Students will understand that many human inventions are inspired by nature (biomimicry) and will explore how living things solve problems that people can copy in design.

Learning Objective:

By the end of the lesson students will be able to:</p>

1. name at least 2 human inventions inspired by nature after watching a video and class discussion.
2. match at least 4 out of 5 inventions with their natural inspiration when given picture cards.
3. compare 1 natural object and its human-made copy by listing 3 similarities or differences using Venn diagram.
4. design and present a simple prototype inspired by nature, explaining its function in 2-3 sentences.
5. justify why their design is useful by giving at least 1 clear reason connected to the natural model.
