PART I: PLANNING

Title of LessonAll About Rocks

Source

Is this lesson original idea? If not, from what source did I borrow this lesson?

This is an original idea. I used the theme from the OCSD # 5 Pacing Guide.

Subject Area (s) Science

Grade Level Kindergarten

Curriculum Standards

K.1.1- Identify observed objects or events by using the senses.K.1.2- Use tools (including magnifiers and eyedroppers) safely, accurately, and appropriately when gathering specific data.

Description and Background Information

Describe the lesson’s activities and content to provide a clear overview of the lesson.

This lesson focuses on rocks. The teacher will create a K-W-L chart for the whole class to complete. Next, students will have the opportunity to explore and investigate numerous rocks from the teacher’s rock collection. Students will be “mini geologists” and will do a rock report. Students will then be able to share their findings with each other.

Lesson Objectives What will students be able to do at the conclusion of this lesson? Make sure that your objective(s) are measurable.Students will be able to identify observed objects or events by using the senses. The student will also use tools safely and appropriately.

Varying Objectives for Individuals Needs

How will I vary these objectives for students who do not understand the material?How will I vary these objectives for students who have already mastered the concept?How will I vary these objectives for students who are presently learning English?

For students who do not understand the material, the TA or the teacher will work with them in small groups or independently.

For students who have already mastered the concept, the teacher will allow them to work with students who may need more help, provide them with another activity that will increase their understanding of the lesson, or allow them to work in one of the learning centers.

For students who are ELL, the teacher will work with them in small groups or independently. The teacher will seek advice from the TESOL teacher, educational programs, and websites on how to better assist students with this lesson. For instance, modeling, a peer mentor, and visual aids can be useful tools.

Statement of Purpose

Why is it important for the students to learn this content?

This lesson is important because this content is needed for students to know one of the basic elements of the Earth.

Materials and Resources

What materials and supplies are needed to help your students achieve the stated objectives? What will the teacher need? What will the students need? What other resources are needed? Will you use resource speakers?Chart paper, markers, diverse rocks, box, hand lenses, activity sheet, pencils, crayons

Anticipatory Set What will you do to motivate the students and get their attention? What is the “hook” that will serve as a focus for the lesson’s activities?

Page 2: Reflective Lesson Plan # 2

Teacher and students will create KWL (Know-Want to Know-Learn) chart about rocks. They will focus on completing the “K” section of the chart.

Part II: IMPLEMENTATION

Pre-assessmentHow will I find out what students already know about this topic?

The teacher will ask students what they know/think they know about rocks.

Teacher Modeling or Demonstration

What will I do to show students what is expected?

The teacher will model and provide students with visual aids and manipulatives that focus on the lesson. The teacher will discuss the different textures of rocks. The teacher will allow students to analyze rocks from the rock collection.

Guided PracticeWhat will we do together as they learn how to succeed at the new task?

The teacher will introduce students to her rock collection. Students will be able to explore-touch/feel, use hand lenses, sort, and just play with the rocks.

Checking for UnderstandingWhat questions will you ask to determine if students understand so far? What techniques or strategies will be used to determine if students understand so far?

What are rocks?Where can you find rocks?Describe how the rock feels in your hand?

Independent Practice

What will students do by themselves to show that they have internalized the knowledge?

Students will complete a rock report on one of the rocks from the rock collection.

ClosureHow will I conclude the lesson and relate it to future experiences? How will you wrap up the lesson to reinforce concepts taught during the lesson?

The teacher and students will complete the “L” section of the KWL chart.

Assessment(attach to lesson plan)

What will students do to demonstrate what they have learned?

Extension ActivitiesWhat can students do at home or in the classroom to apply the knowledge or skills? How could you use your colleagues or community agencies to improve student performance?

Students can bring one rock (preferably a small one) to school for show and tell. A local geologist, rock climber, or science major from a local college can share their knowledge with students.

Technology

How will you use technology to assist students with learning the concepts? What technology will you use to enhance the delivery and comprehension of your content?

Students will be able to use the internet to research information on rocks. They can also use the lumen for the whole class to see their rock.

Connection Across the Curriculum

How will you connect this lesson with other content areas across the curriculum?

The Arts:Students can create “pet rocks”. They can color/paint the rocks and add eyes to them.

Health:Rocks and minerals are essential to our environment. Students can learn about the different minerals that are used to help the human body. (i.e. calcium is found in milk).

Physical Education:Rock climbing requires a lot of energy! During recess, students can use their imagination and go on a “rock climbing adventure” on the jungle gym.

PART III: REFLECTION

Strengths

Describe the strengths of your instructional techniques, strategies and classroom management.Describe the strengths of student engagement.

Students were enthusiastic throughout the lesson! They were very inquisitive and focused on the lesson. The lesson catered to visual, kinesthetic, spatial, and even nature learning styles.

Page 3: Reflective Lesson Plan # 2

Weaknesses

Describe the weaknesses of your instructional techniques, strategies and classroom management. Describe the weaknesses of student engagement.

I would have liked to provide students with more exploring time in the rock collections. I need to work on improving my classroom management.

Suggestions forImprovement

What would you change when teaching this lesson again?Prior planning and practicing will continue to help me teach my science lessons better.
