Experiential learning has been mentioned and directed for implementation in many recent periods of educational reform in our country, especially when implementing the 2018 general education program. However, in reality, not many primary teachers in Ho Chi Minh city apply experiential teaching in Science (2018). Based on the theoretical basis of experiential teaching, the research has proposed four principles when organizing experiential teaching the Substance and Energy topic in Science 4 (2018). At the same time, we build a process for designing lesson plans according to the experiential method including four stages: Determine the goal of organizing teaching according to the experiential method; Determine the content of teaching and learning according to the experiential method; Design experiential learning activities for students; Designing criteria and assessment tools in teaching according to the experiential method of Science 4 (2018). When organizing teaching activities according to the experiential method in teaching Science, follow four steps: Set problems and assign experiential tasks to students; Students perform problem-solving tasks; Organize students to form new concepts on their own; Organize students to experiment in new situations. The research has developed 03 illustrative lesson plans including “Water pollution and protection,” “Sound,” and “Heat transfer and thermal conductors” in the Substance and Energy topic of Science subject 4 (2018) according to the proposed principles and procedures. At the same time, when organizing experimental teaching with lesson plans following the four steps above, the results showed that the test results of students in the experimental class were better than those of students in the control class. Therefore, it can be concluded that the four principles and four steps in the process of designing lesson plans and stages in organizing the teaching of the Substance and Energy topic in Science 4 (2018) according to the experiential method has formed and developed natural science competency components for students according to the requirements to be achieved.
