Standards: The student understands the interaction and organization in the Solar System and the universe and how this affects life on Earth. (SC.E.1.2) The student understands the consequences of using limited natural resources. (SC.G.2.2) The student understands that science, technology, and society are interwoven and interdependent. (SC.H.3.2)
Learning Objectives: Apply strategies of a skillful listener and test by administering a pop quiz Identify conditions that result in specific weather phenomena, including thunderstorms, tornadoes, and hurricanesby keeping a daily journal of weather in their local area Describe Earth’s layers, including inner and outer cores, mantle, and crust Describe ways to sustain natural resources, including recycling, reusing, conserving, and protecting the environment.
Describe various forms of technology used in observing Earth and its moon
Bloom's taxonomy levels Knowledge - List the 9 planets synthesis - Creating a model of the planet they chose. Analysis - Compare and contrast ones own planet to that of another students.
Media used:
Reserve laptop cart and/or computer lab for research
Internet
Using the internet students will choose one of the planets we discussed in class, find its size, and create a real life model using recycled materials.
Monday - I will give a brief introduction of the solar system and introduce the first two planets; Mercury and Venus
Tuesday - We will discuss Earth and specific weather conditions that make our planet unique.
Wednesday - We will discuss Mars as well as the giant planets Jupiter and Saturn
Thursday - The last three planets will be discussed; Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto
Friday - Talk about Recycling and how all living things must compete for Earth's limited resources. Assign model planet project, due Monday.
Evaluate and Revise.
How it went. What worked. What should be revised? The Projects turned out great! The kids loved working on them and had a blast sharing them with the rest of the class. This lesson plan is one that I will certainly use again.
