Teacher Name: | MRS. KING-ESPINOZA |
Grade: | Grade 2 |
Subject: | Science |
Topic: | EARTH, AIR, WATER, FIRE |
Content: | (OBSERVING EARTH PART 1 OF 4) CORE MANTLE CRUST SOILS EARTHQUAKES VOLCANOES POLLUTION LANDFORMS (OBSERVING AIR PART 2 OF 4) AIR GAS OXYGEN NITROGEN CARBON DIOXIDE THERMOMETER WATER VAPOR POLLUTION FORCE SENSES |
Goals: | to introduce students to the basic properties of earth, air, water, fire - to show how we use and come in contact with the four elements in our daily lives - bebeficial aspects (resources) - to alert students to certain dangers posed by these elements - to make students aware the theat pollution poses to our environment and what can be done to change (conservation) |
Objectives: | SWBAT discover the earth is a home for living things - describe the components of the earth and purpose - compare the 3 layers of the earth and explain purpose - discuss, debate, and analyze the dangers of pollution SWBAT to define air - compare relationship of air and weather (force) - analyze the need for air and uses for air - discuss, debate, and analyze the harmful affects of air pollution |
Materials: | SVE instructional materials primer multimedia pack - filmstrip, audio, experiments, activities, worksheets. Science and SS text and workbooks - STC and FOSS material kits fro experiments |
Introduction: | Use the globe and ask, "What do you see and think of when I show you this model of the earth?" Record on a web on board and go into our unit of elements using what the students have brainstormed. |
Development: | actual experiments simulating the concepts of each element. 1 to 2 experiments for every part of the unit. read alouds and book sets going more into depth volcanoes, rocks, resources, ladnforms etc. I will model, demonstrate and explain all concepts while teaching the students to analyze and test and prove certain aspects of each element. |
Practice: | unit worksheets in packet form will be distributed after demonstrations. |
Accommodations: | See modifications chart attached to lesson plan |
Checking For Understanding: | SWBAT complete KWL chart fro every element and class will contribute to the whole |
Closure: | Earth Day celebration on 22nd - hopefully we are finished with the unit and can begin formal testing the following week. |
Evaluation: | 80% or better average on each element of unit |
