While writing my lesson plan, I took into consideration the 5 Es of Science (shown below): Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate. I found this strategy useful in explicitly recognizing the critical components of a fluid science lesson (plan). While a good science lesson very likely covers all or most of the Es already, being aware and actively conscious of them is a valuable tool in effective lesson planning.
