DeKalb Middle School Weekly Lesson Plan Teacher: Angela Johnson Week of: January 30th-February 3rd Subject: Science Target Students: ________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ Day/Date Monday Big Idea/ Goals Focus: The Inner Planets Tuesday Focus: The Outer Planets Students with Special Needs: _________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________ Standards Lesson Activities Chapter 9, Section 2 notes Vocabulary: terrestrial planet, prograde rotation retrograde rotation Stations: Scavenger hunt Bell Work Chapter 9, Section 3 notes Vocabulary: gas giant The invention of what instrument helped early scientists discover more bodies in the solar system? (telescope) Describe how the inner planets are different from the outer planets. (inner planets are dense and rocky, outer planets are mostly gas) 0607.3, 0607.5, 0607.2 Stations: Planet riddles Create a mnemonic device to help you remember the order of the planets: (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) Exit Ticket How are mass and gravity related? (more mass an object has, the more gravity it will exhibit 0607.3, 0607.5, 0607.6.2 Chapter 9 Web-quest/Research project-students will complete web-quest on planet of their choice Get computer and log on. Tell me 3 things about the planet you chose for your web-quest. 0607.3, 0607.5, 0607.6.2 Wednesday Focus: A Family of Planets Chapter 9, Section 2 and 3 continued List 3 difference between and three similarities of Venus and Earth. (Unlike-Venus retrograde rotation is very hot and atmosphere is very dense and contains destructive acids. Similar-size, density, mass and surface gravity) What are some of the characteristics of Earth that make it suitable for life? (Warm enough to keep water from freezing cool enough to keep water from boiling. Living things depend on water for survival.) 0607.3, 0607.5, 0607.6.2 Thursday Focus: Inner and Outer Planets Brain-pop-solar system Stations-Solar system activity Friday Focus: Inner and Outer Planets Chapter 9, Section 2 and 3 continued Brain-pop on each planet Stations: finish Planet research/web-quest paper The many colors of Jupiter’s atmosphere are probably caused by what in the atmosphere? (organic compounds) Define gas giant. (a planet that has a deep, massive atmosphere) 0607.3, 0607.5, 0607.6.2
