Lesson Plan Idea Format Grade Level & Subject Area: _5th grade Science__ Standards/Framework (Common Core, NAEYC, Mid-level ….): ESS.10.5.3- Compare the properties of planets in our solar system: • size, shape, density, atmosphere, distance from the sun, orbital path, moons, surface, and composition. Theme/Series of Lessons (if Not applicable, put N/A. If it is part of a series, of lessons, tell me, give a BRIEF description of the overall and tell me where this particular lesson fits): N/A Time (is this a 1 day 50 minute lesson, 5 day 1 hour lesson, once a week over a month lesson….): This will be a 2 day 50 minute lesson. What do the students already know? (This could be the Intro or they have learned information before starting this lesson): In 3rd grade, students will have learned how the planets orbit and what the planets are called. Objective (What are the students’ going to accomplish): The objective is for students to be able to know the differences between all the planets, including atmosphere, density, weight on each planet, etc. Materials: PowerPoint presentation, pencil, paper, PowerPoint activity for students. Procedure: As students enter the classroom I will have a model of the solar system on the table. I will ask students if they know how many planets there are in the solar system and have them name the planets. As we begin this lesson we will discuss density, atmosphere, weight on that planet, how many moons, and how long each planet takes to orbit the sun. On our second day, we will review what we went over the first day. I will then have students get into groups and work on an unconventional way to gives their own facts about each planet and the asteroid belt. They can either make a book, a short game, etc. (my example is of a book). Assessment (How will the students’ show you that the objective has been met): I will assess students by the information that they provide on their PowerPoints and how they work together as a group. A Brief Description Of The Entire Lesson - Plus Any Additional Information to be Included: As students come into the classroom. I will have a model of the solar system on a table where all students can see the model. “Can anyone tell me what is sitting on the table? That’s right it is the solar system. What is our solar system mainly made of? Planets, the asteroid belt, stars, sun, good class. Can someone name the planets in our solar system?” Give students a chance to answer. “Our terrestrial planets are: Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. Our outer planets are: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Today we are going to talk about what all these planets are made of (composition), how many moons each planet has, what your weight would be on those planets, and how long it takes each planet to orbit the sun. Mercury: composition- Mercury composition is made up of approximately 70% metals and 30% silicate material. In fact, it’s only slightly less dense than the Earth, with 5.43 g/cm3. Moons- Mercury has no moons. Weight- 56.7 lbs (if you weighed 150 lbs). Orbit around the sun- 88 days to orbit the sun. Venus: composition- Rocky ground lies beneath the layers of clouds. But unlike Mars and Mercury, which are both scarred by craters, Venus has a relatively smooth surface. Moons- Venus has no moons. Weight- 136 lbs (if you weighed 150 lbs.). Orbit around the sun- 224.7 days to orbit the sun. Earth: composition- The crust varies from around 5km thick (in the ocean floor) to around 70km thick (on land where we live called the continental crust). The continental crust is made up of rocks that consist primarily of silica and alumina called the "sial" (water, grass, dirt, rocks, mountains, etc). Moons- one moon. Weight- same weight that you weigh. Orbit around the sun- 365 days to orbit the sun. Mars: composition- Surface is made of a thick layer of oxidized iron dust and rocks of the same color. Beneath the layer of dust, the Martian crust consists mostly of volcanic basalt rock. The soil of Mars also holds nutrients such as sodium, potassium, chloride and magnesium. The crust is about 30 miles (50 kilometers) thick. Moons- two small moons: Phobos and Deimos. Weight: 56.5 lbs (if you weighed 150 lbs.) Obit around the sun- 1.88 Earth years. Jupiter: composition- Composed predominantly of hydrogen and helium. Moons- 63 known moons. Weight- 354.6 lbs (if you weighed 150 lbs.) Obit around the sun11.86 Earth years. Saturn: composition- Predominantly composed of hydrogen and helium, the two basic gases of the universe. The planet also bears traces of ices containing ammonia, methane, and water. Moons- 53 named moons. Weight159.6 lbs (if you weighed 150 lbs.) Orbit around the sun- 29.45 Earth years. Uranus: composition- Uranus lacks a solid, well-defined surface. Instead, the gas, liquid, and icy atmosphere extends to the planet's interior. Moons- 27 known moons. Weight- 133.3 lbs (if you weighed 150 lbs.) Orbit around the sun- 84 Earth years to orbit the planet. Neptune: composition- Made up of more ices than Jupiter and Saturn, the chilly body almost seems to be in a class by itself. Mostly hydrogen and helium. The bluish coloration comes from traces of methane in the air, but the planet is a more brilliant hue than the dull blue of Uranus, which implies something else could be affecting it. Moons- 14 known moons. Weight168.7 lbs (if you weighed 150 lbs.) Orbit around the sun- 164.79 Earth years to orbit around the sun. On the second day we will review what was learned the day before. I will then break students into groups for them to work on a PowerPoint and use it in an unconventional way, either making a book with the facts they have learned or making a game like Jeopardy. (I should be able to see and understand your entire lesson by reading this. Remember, Technology is not the lesson. It enhances the lesson)
