Compare multiple solutions designed to slow or prevent wind or water from changing the shape of the land.*[Clarification Statement: Examples of solutions could include different designs of dikes and windbreaks to hold back wind and water, and different designs for using shrubs, grass, and trees to hold back the land.]
|
Objectives: Students will be able to explain how water and wind erosion have affected the earths surface.
What do the students need to know prior to the lesson? The students don’t need much prior knowledge before because we go over it all in the lesson. We do a quick write at the beginning to see what they know so we can form the lesson around that knowledge.
How will prior knowledge and experience be assessed? Prior knowledge is assessed through a 3 minute quick write at the beginning of the lesson.
How will you use this information in the planning process? We will use the information to determine how much time we need to spend on the games and what information we need to focus on.
Why should the content of this lesson be taught at this grade level? At this grade level they are more aware of their surroundings and things that are going on in the environment.
When will the lesson be taught in the course of the school year? Why? The time of the lesson does not matter due to the things we are talking about.
III. IMPLEMENTATION
Procedure: Students will do a quick write on what they think erosion might be.
Discuss key terms and ideas (students will read an online article and pull out some key facts to share)
we will then write the key terms and ideas on the smartboard
sugar cube experiment
play some of the online games
Students will write 2-3 paragraphs explaining erosion.
Technology Integration:Watch Bill Nye video, play erosion games, read erosion articles online.
Why are you using the instructional methods you have described? These instructional methods are very hands on and gives them lots of time to practice and learn the material.
How do the instructional methods align with what you know about best practices (think about your methods classes)? They align with the best practices by using hands on activities and give them more control over their learning.
IV. ASSESSMENT
Procedure: have the students email the 2-3 paragraphs that they wrote
have a few students read their paragraphs
play erosion jeopardy and keep score, give the winning team extra points.
