Animals and the Habitats
Overview
I want to teach the kids on different animals and their habitats. But first, I want to start the lesson with the hatching of eggs. Show them what this world has to offer. Then tell them about how humans are treating the earth and how can we fix it in different environments. But first, they need to know the different environments and the animals inside them so they know how to help. They will be assigned a presentation on different animals in the habitats, and at the end, I will be giving a quiz on it.
Stage 1 - Desired Results
ESTABLISHED GOALS |
The Goal of this lesson is to help kids have a better understanding of the World we live in. Every place throughout the world is different. Whether it's the landscape, animals, or plants. Students will be able to accurately identify the plants and animals in a particular environment in the world. |
Transfer
Students will be able to independently use their learning to… |
| Identify different animals and plants in different habitats and how they adapt to the changes in the environment. |
Meaning
UNDERSTANDINGS | ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS |
| Different animals and plants are in different environments across the world, and how they adapt to their environment. | What are the different environments? What kind of animals live in that environment? What do those animals eat? How do they adapt to the environment they live in? |
Acquisition
Students will know… | Students will be skilled at… |
| Different animals and their environments | Identifying certain animals and the different environments in which they live |
Stage 2 - Assessment Evidence
Evaluative Criteria | Assessment evidence for |
| For the students they will get a quiz for their progress check to make sure each student understands the lesson and what I have taught so far. Then at the End of the unit, after their PowerPoint, I will give the kids a Test. | PERFORMANCE TASK(S): Quizzes and Tests
|
For an exit ticket, I will be giving each student a question about our lesson that day and they must email me before they go to recess. For the Movie Clips, i will show either a Brain Pop or a Youtube video and the kids will have questions to answer about what they watch. For Virtual Field Trips I will tell the kids to go to a certain place and make them write a paragraph or two about what they are seeing. Then, at the end of the whole lesson plan, I will get the students to create their own habitat and put animals inside their habitat. | OTHER EVIDENCE: Exit tickets, Movie clips, PowerPoint, Kahoot, Virtual Field Trips |
Stage 3 - Learning Plan
Learning Activities:
Summary of Key Learning Events and Instruction
What learning experiences and instruction will enable students to achieve the desired results? How will the design
W = Help the students know Where the unit is going and What is expected? Help the teacher know Where the students are coming from (prior knowledge, interests)?
H = Hook all students, and Hold their interest?
E1 = Equip students, help them Experience the key ideas, and Explore the issue.
R = Provide opportunities to Rethink and Revise their understandings and work.
E2 = Allow students to Evaluate their work and its implications.
T = be Tailored (personalized) to the different needs, interests, and abilities of learners.
O = Be Organized to maximize initial and sustained engagement as well as effective learning.
In the Lesson, we are going to start in a particular environment such as a rainforest, and we will play a video clip or show a PowerPoint for the kids to watch, learn and see and have a class discussion on the different types of plants, animals, and their adaptations. We will do this with different environments. Students will have an electronic quiz on each environment at the end of each lesson. Then after we go through each environment each student will create a PowerPoint by making their habitat and putting their own plants and animals in it. They will then present to the class. Then before their final test, we will play a Kahoot review game for the end of the unit.
