Lesson Preparation - Science/Health Unit Plan

Coursework Instructions:

The grade level chosen is: FIRST GRADE with standards that match Washington State
Effective educators plan appropriate, effective science instruction that meets the learning needs of a diverse classroom. Unit plans provide a scaffolded approach to students, allowing educators to build upon instruction over several days.
For this benchmark assignment, utilize the “3 Day Unit Plan Template” to create a unit plan outlining three integrated science and health lessons for the students listed in the “Class Profile.” Choose a grade level for the students, then select one NGSS from the physical, life, or earth/space sciences as well as one NHES for the three-lesson unit. You may adapt any previous assignments in the creation of this unit plan, as long as the three lessons form a planned, cohesive unit.
In your unit, design the three lesson plans so that they:
Incorporate the 5Es.
Use strategies that engage students through movement or physical activity.
In 250-500 words, rationalize your choices in developing the unit plan. How did designing instruction to include movement or physical activity for elementary students support a healthy lifestyle and an enhanced quality of life?
APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.
This assignment uses a rubric. Review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. A link to the LopesWrite technical support articles is located in Class Resources if you need assistance.

Unit/Subject: Science/Health Unit Plan
Title of Unit and Brief Summary: The purpose of the lesson is for learners to analyze how animals use their external parts to assist them to survive. The lesson allows students to appreciate the importance of external body parts and the need to keep
Classroom and Student Factors/Grouping: There are 30 students in the classroom from different ethnicities. Two students are one year above the grade level and one student is a year below the group level. Because of the differences in the classroom, I will implement differentiated work activities for the learners to ensure that each receives what they need.

National/State
Learning Standards
List specific grade-level standards that are the focus of the lesson being presented.

1-LS1-1 Investigate to establish the external structures of animals

1-LS1-2 Develop a simple model that mimics the function of external parts of animals

1-LS1-3 Use materials to design a solution to a human problem by mimicking how animals use their external parts to help them survive and meet their needs

Specific Learning
Target(s)/Objectives
Based on state standards, identify what is intended to be measured in learning.

* Label basic external structures of animals
* Match pictures of animals with their external structures

* Using everyday materials, create a model of an external part of an animal like a leg
* Reflect on the process of developing the model and discuss what was learned from external parts of animals and how they function

* Identify various external parts of animals and explain how they assist them to survive
* Identify a human problem that can be solved by mimicking the external parts of an animal
