      STANDARDS: Design Process grade 4 ADAPTATIONS: Teachers can have the classroom participate in building a singular structure out of recycled materials, instead individual ones.  EXTENSION:  Students can extend their experiences with recycling and collect pop tabs, paper, and other plastic materials.  When students build their recycled structures, they can use their math skills to know how many bottles it took to build their structure.

      Standards: 2.DP.2 - Day to day and over the seasons, observe, measure, record and recognize patterns and ask questions about features of weather. (2.2.1, 2.2.2, 2.2.3, 2.2.4, 2.2.5, 2.2.6) Investigate how the position of the sun and moon and the shape of the moon change in observable patterns. (2.2.7, 2.2.8, 2.2.9)

      Extension: Students could use this activity as a stepping stone to study the phases of the moon in greater depth. The next step could be to model the changes of the moon as it rotates the earth by using a flashlight as the sun.

      Adaptation: This is a great physical representation to descripe words that may have no meaning to ELL students. Students are more likely to remember the phases because there is food involved and it was studied in a casual setting.

    Students can learn the phases of the moon as they enjoy a tasty snack. Students open Oreos up and remove ice to make the different phases of the moon.

      Adaptations: Activities could be completed alone and not as part of 5 day unit if time did not permit. Experiments could be completed in small groups or modeled explicitly by the teacher.

      Use of graphs and graphic organizers could be varied depending on ability of students.

      Extension: This is a science project heavy on language arts (writing). Allowing ELL students to draw more pictures may make this project more memorable for these students.

      Once students have determined what soil is good for plants, students could test different plant seeds. Compare and contrast what soil works best for different plants.

      Standard: 1.NS.2 - Observe, describe and ask questions about soil components and properties.
  • Andrew Todd on 15 Feb 13
     
    This is a five day unit for the study of soil. Students will identify different properties of soil through exploration. They will tell which kind of soil is best for plant growth and list supporting reasons. They will document what they learned in a science notebook with diagrams, labels, and descriptive words.

      Expansion: have student record observations in a notebook.  For Kindergarten, students could do so via observational drawings.

      ESL: Done in pairs, this could be a cooperative learning process that will familiarize ESL students with observational techniques and discussion.

    Your first grader probably doesn't know that before we had watches and clocks, people used shadows to tell time! These "shadow clocks" were called sundials, and used the measurement of the shadows to tell what time it was. Introduce your child to the science of sundials by making your own shadow clock. It's a fun way to play with shadows, and will help improve her time-telling skills, too!
