Lesson #1 Fine Arts (Music) Purpose: This lesson is day one of our five day unit plan on the solar system. Students will be introduced to all eight planets, their order, and their size through music. VA SOLs: Science 4.7 The student will investigate and understand the organization of the solar system. Key concepts include: a) the planets in the solar system; b) the order of the planets in the solar system; and c) the relative sizes of the planets. Music 4.2 The student will sing a varied repertoire of songs alone and with others, including a) singing with a clear tone quality and correct intonation; b) singing diatonic melodies; c) singing melodies written on the treble staff; d) singing with expression, using dynamics and phrasing; e) singing in simple harmony; and f) demonstrating proper posture for singing. Objective: Watching and listening to three different music videos about the solar system, the student will be able to collaborate with their peers and recite the songs within the music videos with a 100% accuracy. Procedure: Introduction: Have the class meet on the front rug near the Promethean Board where we will watch three different music videos and songs about the solar system. Before playing the videos, have a short discussion with the students about the solar system and their knowledge of it. Ask the questions, “How many planets are in our solar system?” “Which one is closest to the sun? Which is the furthest?” “Which planet is the biggest? Which is the smallest?” This will help you get an understanding of what the students already know. Pass out lyric sheets to all three music videos so the students can sing along. Pull up YouTube on your laptop and start the first video. Development: Play the first video. Allow the students to just listen the first time so they can really pay attention and learn about the solar system from the video. After watching the video for the first time, restart the video and have the students follow along on their lyric sheet and sing along. Continue this pattern with the next two videos (students listen first then sing along the second time.) By listening to the music videos and following along on your lyric sheet, you are catering to your auditory as well as your visual learners. Once all three of the videos have been watched and the students have sung along to them break the students into three groups. Each group will be assigned a different music video. Each group will be required to sing the song that is featured in their music video. Groups will be given fifteen minutes to practice. Everyone will be provided with lyric sheets, though they aren’t expected to memorize all the lyrics. After the groups have rehearsed, they will perform at the front of the classroom, one group at a time. Students will be expected to work together to figure out who will sing which parts. This is catering to your kinesthetic learners because they are up and moving around while learning. Summary: Once everyone has finished their performances, direct everyone back to their seats. Congratulate them for their performances and their wonderful work. For struggling students: For struggling students you could pre-assign a musical selection you know they could handle and feel comfortable doing, or you could have them just sing in the chorus with other students. In this case, “struggling” means students who have not mastered the musical SOL components we are covering for this lesson. Some students do not feel comfortable singing in front of the class. Have them sing one of the songs to you at another time so they can still participate and learn. In this case, “struggling” means timid or shy students. For advanced students: Advanced students can be given more, or harder, parts to sing in the song if they would like. They can also help out those who may be struggling. In this case, “advanced” means students who have mastered the SOL music component for this lesson. Materials: Laptop Promethean Board Lyric Sheets Three music videos( listed on reference pages) Evaluation Part A: Collaboration with their peers and reciting the songs from the music video is how we will assess their learning from this lesson. We will be looking for performances with proper posture, harmonies, singing with expression, and singing with a clear tone quality and correct intonation. Evaluation Part B: Did the students meet your objectives? How do you know the students met your objectives? What were the strengths of this lesson? What were the weaknesses? How would you change the lesson if you could teach it again? Music Videos and Lyrics 1.) Bemular - The Planets Song (Educational Kids Music & Video) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnTaAoWs-Mo Well there is Mercury and Venus, Earth and Mars Jupiter and Saturn - those are the big ones Uranus and Neptune, but not Pluto Those are the planets Mercury is the little planet that's closest to the sun It only takes 88 days for Mercury to orbit the sun Now Venus is a beautiful planet but it's too hot to live there You could cook an egg right on the ground on Venus The Earth is a very important planet. It's where you live Mars. Well, there's not a lot to do on Mars. It's kind of boring there Now Jupiter...that planet is huge! And Saturn. Saturn's got all the pretty rings Uranus is a pretty blue planet that spins funny Neptune is now the last planet Neptune is the last planet Neptune is the last planet Pluto used to be last, but it's been de-listed 2.)

Now I pass the mic to the planet closest to me MERCURY Mercury! The smallest planet, small as Earth's moon (MOON: "Yo!") I get super hot and cold and I spin very slow VENUS I'm Venus! I've got mountains and volcanoes that spray I'm the same size as Earth but spin the opposite way EARTH Yeah, I'm Earth, I'm the home to every boy and girl (Sung by Stars) Such a beautiful, beautiful world MARS I'm Mars, the red planet, I've got deserts and ice And I've got two moons - nice - that's like one moon, twice!

SATURN Oh please, I'm Saturn, check out my beautiful rings Made up of billions of rocks, dust, and other things URANUS I'm Uranus, I say that with pride, okay, I lied I'm embarrassed 'cause I'm the only planet lying on its side (Uranus lies on its side and the mic flies to Neptune) NEPTUNE I'm Neptune, I'm cold, dark, windy and mysterious I'm very stormy, so bring an umbrella - I'm serious ALL PLANETS (CHORUS) We're the planets in the Solar System Different sizes for every one The music never ends We are such good friends And we all orbit the sun Well, we are done exploring the Solar System. I am thirsty. Let's explore the rest of the Milky Way Galaxy. 3.)Planets Song for Kids / Solar System Song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQrlgH97v94 There are eight planets in our solar system We all revolve around the sun Join us to learn about the different planets Now sing along and have some fun My name is Mercury I’m the second hottest planet The closest one to the sun A year on my surface is 88 days I’m the smallest but I’m lots of fun My name is Venus I’m the hottest planet But the second planet from the sun I’m the brightest planet in our solar system And I’m to hot for any one My name is Earth I’m the planet you live on The third Planet from the sun I’m the only planet with organic life So take care of me because we’re all one My name is mars I am red in color The fourth planet from the sun I have the highest mountain in our solar system A volcano named Olympus Mons There are eight planets in our solar system We all revolve around the sun Join us to learn about the different planets Now sing along and have some fun My name is Jupiter I am covered in clouds I’m the fifth planet from the sun My giant red spot is a raging storm As for size I’m the biggest one My name is Saturn I am brown in color I’m the sixth planet from the sun My outer rings are extremely thin They’re made of dust and icy chunks My names Uranus I am blue in color I’m the seventh planet from the sun Humans have named me the icy planet Because I am the coldest one My name is Neptune I am blue in color I’m the eighth planet from the sun I have to many storms in my atmosphere And I’m the furthest planet from the sun There are eight planets in our solar system We all revolve around the sun Join us to learn about the different planets Now sing along and have some fun
