Lesson Component Standard(s) Number of Standard Kid Friendly Language Monday 12/10 Lesson Plans Week of December 10, 2012 Tuesday Wednesday 12/11 12/12 b. c. d. e. f. Construct a scale model of the solar system, and use it to explain the motion of objects in the system such a planets, Sun, Moons, asteroids, comets, and dwarf planets (DOK 2-3) Describe methods and equipment used to explore the solar system and beyond (DOK 1) Design an investigation that involves direct observation of objects in the sky, and analyze and explain results (DOK 2-4) Research, critique, and communicate scientific theories that explain how the solar system was formed (DOK 1-3) Use computer data sets and simulations to explore objects in the solar system (DOK 1-2) Recognize that mathematical models are used to predict orbital paths and events Objective Teacher Centered Using action Verbs Bloom’s Hess Bell Marzano Challenger Missions: Objective: Students will utilize their knowledge of science to complete a simulation. Learning Target: Student “I Can…” statement Challenger: I can use my knowledge to assist my team in creating a successful mission at challenger learning center. Stay: I can explain the phases of the moon and what order the phases go. Strategies/Activities: Hook to prior learning or Anticipatory Set: Modeling I Do, We Do, You Do Frequent check for progress toward Mastery Closure/Student Reflection Friday 12/14 Standard: 3. Earth Systems Science: The solar system is comprised of various objects that orbit the Sun and are classified based on their characteristics Students can: a. Questions Varied, high quality, DOK 2,3 that will be used Written prior to lesson Thursday 12/13 Students will calculate the scale size for both the planets and the distances in space. Students will use their calculations of planet size and distances to make a scale model of the solar system Students will graph atmospheric temperature and composition of planets in the solar system I can calculate the scale size for the planets and distances in space. I can create a scale model of the solar system using my calculations. I can graph the temperature of different planets in the solar system. Why is there a different scale for the size of the planets and distances between planets? If you could make a solar system model that could take over the entire school land area what scale would you use? Why is atmospheric makeup important? Why is temperature important? Do Now: If the earth was the size of the globe we have been using how big would the sun be? How far away would the sun be? Do now: Why would we use two different scales when creating of model of the solar system? Discussion: Different scales Do Now: What features or conditions would you study on another planet to find an earth like planet (one that could support life)? Discussion: Finding the correct scale for the sun and distance. Create a model of the solar system using the calculations. Make a list of features that are important to support life. Students who stay behind: Objective: Students will research data on the phases of the moon and complete an annotated reading and worksheet. How did you utilize the skills you have been learning in science for the space simulation? Challenger mission: Students are guided through the simulation by the flight directors Stay students: Students can watch a video on how to annotate they will the annotate the reading on the phases of the moon and complete a worksheet. Calculate scale of planets and distance. Closure: Check the Investigating temperature 1. Have students predict the temperatures of the planets. calculations 2. Have students chart the temperature ranges for the planets Closure: What do you notice about the location of the planet in the solar system and its temperature? Assessments/Check for Mastery: Frequent Formative How will you know they know? What will you do if they do or don’t demonstrate mastery? Solar system model Calculations Varied Learning Abilities For students who struggle in math it is important to walk them through the calculations. What are you doing to address the unique needs of students Key Vocabulary Terms Moon phase Waning Waxing Crescent Scale Astronomical unit Scale factor Planet temperature chart Students who struggle can be grouped with more advanced students.
