Create a science lesson plan that involves insects. Use the 5E model from thepresentations and readings. You may come up with an original lesson plan or modify anexisting lesson plan, as long as it is not already in the format of the 5E model. If you usean existing lesson plan, paraphrase appropriately and acknowledge the source.
Title
Your title should summarize the lesson. Be mindful of the grade level! Itâs okay to be clever with the title, but be sure your title makes sense.
Objectives
Your lesson plan should focus on two or three learning objectives. Your learning objectives should describe what you want the students to know or be able to do when they complete your lesson. Be sure to follow the guidelines in the presentation on writing effective learning objectives!
Advanced Preparation
Provide a detailed explanation of the science content being developed in the lesson. Here, you as a teacher should demonstrate your understanding of the science being taught in the lesson. Assume the reader does not have this background knowledge.
Additionally, a teacher may have to prepare materials before the start of your lesson. In this section, please describe what the teacher needs to do before students arrive. If there are handouts, they need to be referenced in this section.
Engage
What will you do to captivate student attention?
How will the activity help students identify their misconceptions?
How will you connect to studentsâ everyday lives?
What questions will you ask students?
(Provide sample answers you expect from students.)
Explore
How will you transition from the engagement to the exploration?
What common, cooperative experience will you provide for students?
How will you help students generate their own questions about the experience?
Will the students collect data? If so, what data will they collect?
What questions will you ask the students? (Provide sample answers.)
Explain
What guiding questions will you ask? (Provide sample answers.)
What ideas will you be trying to develop?
How might you act out or demonstrate the ideas youâre developing?
What opportunities will you provide for students to articulate their ideas and listen to each other?
What terminology will you introduce, and how will you clarify what students articulate?
Elaborate
What will students do during this phase?
What concepts will you be having them apply, in what kind of activity?
Will you ask students to relate previous experiences to current activities?
What guiding questions will you ask? (Provide sample answers.)
Evaluate
What formative assessments will you use, and when in the lesson will you use them?
What specifically will you be looking for in these?
What summative assessment will you use?
What specifically will you be looking for in this?
