Teachers:Jeff McHugh

Stage One - Desired ResultsContent Area Standards5. Explain how air movements affect the weather

8. Interpret symbols and weather patterns from a weathermap and identify major weather instruments.

9. Identify the basic cloud types and their relationships tothe weather.

11. Understand how wind is produced by uneven heatingof the earth.

Enduring UnderstandingsStudents will develop an understanding of the conditionsneeded in order for certain types of natural disasters tooccur.

Essential QuestionsIf scientists could alter weather conditions, which oneshould be changed in order to decrease the impact ofnatural disasters?

KnowledgeStudents will know the necessary conditions fora hurricane, tornado, blizzard, and tsunami to occur.

SkillsStudents will be able to:

•extract paraphrase relevant information from print andonline resources;

•cite sources;

•synthesize information to construct new knowledge;

•generate, analyze and share solutions to variousdisasters

Stage Two - Assessment Evidence

Performance Task(s)/AssessmentGroups will create a video to explain the conditionsnecessary for their disaster to occur and provide a solutionto reduce the effect of that disaster.

Other Evidenceobservations (notetaking, information gathering, groupcollaboration)notefact samplesculminating group discussion

Stage Three - Learning PlanHook and HoldNatural disasters result in the loss of billions of dollars andnumerous human lives every year. In order to reducethese effects, scientists are currently attempting to changethe weather conditions necessary for these disasters tooccur. Dr. Albert A. Clipper (see video) is asking for ideasabout which weather conditions they should target in orderto reduce or eliminate the effects of natural disasters.

Classroom ComponentThe entire 5th grade weather unit, with the exception ofnatural disasters, will be covered in the classroom in theweeks leading up to the UbD.

Differentiation Through:

Content

Process (how students take in and make sense of the

content)

Product (how students show what they have learned)

Differentiation According to Student:

Readiness (relative standing to the learning goals)

Interest (passions, affinities, kinships that motivate

learning)

Learning Profile (learning styles, intelligence &

modality preferences, cultural background)

Differentiation ExplanationTeachers create heterogenous groups of 4 students foreach disaster. Students took notes independently, thenshared information with their group. Content wasdifferentiated by providing resources with lower readinglevels for students reading below grade level. Thesestudents also received assistance from the special edteam during the research process.

Unit ResourcesWe used print resources about each disaster from ourschool library and AHML.

We linked videos from United Streaming to our website forviewing on iPads, iPod Touches and computers.

Students were also free to explore the Internet forinformation, as they had previous instruction on websiteevaluation.

Getting Ready for ResearchLesson FocusNote Taking Skills

Lesson Procedures•Showed and discussed examples of student notefacts

•Handed back last week's notefacts (which I had evaluatedand provided feedback) to students

•Students practiced notetaking and citing sources againusing an online resource

•Students rated their own notefacts and a partner's

Lesson ResourcesNotefact sheets, source sheets, website scanner, Elmo,overhead projector

Daily ReflectionUsed the phony website, but kids caught on and did morewebsite evaluation than notetaking. Next time use a legitsite and focus on notetaking.
