Lesson Plan Template for Science Lessons using the 5E Instructional Model Grade 2 Cluster 4: Air and Water in the Environment Essential Question: What happens when the snow melts? Where should we collect our data to observe the spring thaw? Number 1 Lesson Objective: To get acquainted with the schoolyard as a green space and decide on observation locations. Knowledge SLOs 2-4-06 Observe and identify examples of water in the environment. 2-4-07 Describe evidence of water changing state, and recognize that these changes are part of the water cycle. Cluster 0 SLOs 2-0-4a Follow simple directions; 2-0-4e. Respond to the ideas and actions of others in building their own understandings. 2- 0-4f. Work in a variety of cooperative partnerships and groups. 2-0-4g. Verbalize questions, ideas, and intentions during classroom activities. 2- 0-4h. Follow given safety procedures and rules. 2-0-8a. Recognize that learning can come from careful observations and investigations. 2-0-9a. Willingly consider other peoples views. 2-0-9b. Express enjoyment when sharing and discussing science-related experiences from daily life. Materials (with quantities) for a group of 24 students 8 scavenger hunt sheets, laminated; 8 markers; 8 clipboards; 1 whistle Engagement Phase Begin in circle. Inform students we are starting an exploration of how snow melts. Where does it go? We will be measuring the snow as it melts and recording data in our science journals (the water cycle and the spring melt mayhem booklets) along with digital pictures of our observations to figure out what happens to the dirt and snow as it thaws. Review the water cycle (evaporation, condensation, precipitation song-sung to Darling Clementine- Evaporation, condensation, evaporation on my mind. It is called the water cycle and its happening all the time. Evaporation, condensation, evaporation on my mind. Accumulation is the last step and the water cycles fine. Are there any student questions they want answered? Have students form groups of 3. Inform them we are going to start with a scavenger hunt. They will need to work together in order to find as many clues as possible within 15 minutes. They are not to collect the items but to find them. They can record what they have found on the hunt sheet. SAFETY: Do not pick up anything that can cut them such as sharp metal or broken glass. A whistle with 3 blows means to return to the tarmac. Remind them to look for a group location for data collection on the spring melt, no two groups the same. Locations must be suitable for observations, no spots with little snow or too much snow that we could not measure the depth. Hand out one scavenger hunt sheet and one marker per group. Get dressed and move outdoors. Time needed (minutes) CHECK LIST Did Students  …retrieve knowledge / ideas / preconceptions from long term memory  …express interest / curiosity  …ask questions  …know the objective(s) of the lesson  …know what they were to do in the Exploration Phase Exploration Phase Winter Scavenger Hunt. Allow at least 15 minutes for students to find as many items as possible. It is not necessary to find all the items, but as many as possible. Do not pick them up, record on the sheet. Remind them to look for a location their group wants to use for the spring melt observations. Time needed (minutes) CHECK LIST Did Students  …actively engage with new material  …work together on task  …explore each other’s questions / ideas / possibilities (predictions)  …record observations  …record measurements Explanation Phase Return to the classroom. Discuss the scavenger hunt and what the students may have found. Have groups present their location and data collection. Why did the group chose this location? Possible new vocabulary Observation Data collection Measurement Time needed (minutes) CHECK LIST Did Students  …present data  …use data as evidence to justify claims  …meaningfully apply previous concepts learned  …listen respectfully to the Lesson Plan Template for Science Lessons using the 5E Instructional Model ideas of others  …question explanations  …detect patterns or trends in the data …use new vocabulary  …develop their understanding / skills Recording (writing / drawing); Closure; Link to next session Teacher writes down each groups location and informs students we will begin our observations next science lesson. Time needed (minutes) CHECK LIST Did Students  …demonstrate (on paper) their conceptual understanding  …meaningfully apply what was learned to previous concepts learned  …understand the focus of the next science lesson  …know what question(s) to ask / knowledge to share with friends and family Lesson Plan Template for Science Lessons using the 5E Instructional Model WINTER SCAVENGER HUNT o a rock o soil o something smooth and cold ______________________ o something scratchy __________________________ o something wet __________________________ o something sticky ________________________ o something made by humans (this is litter – pick it up!)______________________ o something that you think is really interesting _________________ o a tree with flat needles o a pine cone o a pine cone that has been pulled apart by squirrels o place where a bird could hide _____________________ o mammal (example: squirrel or dog) _______________ o an animal nest _____________________ o place where an animal could get water _________________ o an animal track ___________________ o hole in a tree o something that a bird could use to make a nest _____________________ o something green ____________________________ Lesson Plan Template for Science Lessons using the 5E Instructional Model Day Spot or Location How deep is the snow?
