EDU 5170 EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY I Lesson Plan Integrating Technology & Pedagogy Directions and Outline Name _Michaela

Lacy___________________________________________ Date _11/11/13__________ Construct a lesson plan utilizing good pedagogical practices and incorporating technology as a tool for teaching and learning. Focus on a concept or skill in your content specialty area and support student activities with the use of hardware and/or software. *Note: Do not make the emphasis of the lesson a "how-to" with technology. An outline for your lesson plan is provided below: Standards: Sixth Grade Science Standard 4: Key Idea 1 1. Creativity and Innovation (ISTE 1) Students demonstrate creative thinking, construct knowledge, and develop innovative products and processes using technology. a. Apply existing knowledge to generate new ideas, products, or processes b. Create original works as a means of personal or group expression c. Use models and simulations to explore complex systems and issues d. Identify trends and forecast possibilities 2. Research and Information Fluency (ISTE 3) Students apply digital tools to gather, evaluate, and use information. a. Plan strategies to guide inquiry b. Locate, organize, analyze, evaluate, synthesize, and ethically use information from a variety of sources and media c. Evaluate and select information sources and digital tools based on the appropriateness to specific tasks d. Process data and report results 3. Technology Operations and Concepts (ISTE 6) Students demonstrate a sound understanding of technology concepts, systems, and operations. a. Understand and use technology systems b. Select and use applications effectively and productively c. Troubleshoot systems and applications

d. Transfer current knowledge to learning of new technologies

Lesson Objective(s): Conent: 1. The student will label the planets in the solar system based on their respective distances from the sun (closest to farthest). 2. The students will be able to arrange the planets in the order they appear from the sun. 3. The students will be able to model distinctive features of the planets such as Jupiters Great Red Spot, planetary rings, atmospheric color, size, and any other features true to the planet that the students find. Technology: 1. The students will navigate an interactive informational website. 2. The students will create an image using Paint. 3. The students will navigate and edit a Microsoft Word document. Introduce the Learning Activity: 1. Content: 1. The teacher will ask the students basic trivia questions about our solar system: How many planets are there? What is Pluto? How many planets are closer to the sun than Earth? 2. The teacher will introduce the lesson orally as Introduction to our Solar System th as a part of the 6 grade science curriculum. 2. Technology: 1. The teacher will introduce todays activity (Solar System Safari) by describing the task, Today you will be navigating through NASA Solar System 101 and using information from this website to complete your Solar System Safari worksheet. You will also be using Paint to create your own 2-D model of the solar system. 2. The teacher will write their homepage on the board and instruct the students to go to the Resources page and click on the Solar System Safari document link. Then instruct them to go to the Resources page and click on the link NASA: Solar System 101 link using right click and open in new tab. This allows them to keep the homepage open in case they need it again.

2. The teacher will explain that this is an interactive assignment and they should feel free to explore the site further once they have completed the Safari worksheet. The teacher will show them the website before they begin using it themselves to wow them. Provide Information: 1. The teacher will show how to navigate the NASA Solar System 101 website to model desired practice. The teacher will offer trivia questions in the beginning of the lesson to introduce the topic of the lesson and provide the correct answers (How many planets are there? 8. What is Pluto? A Dwarf Planet. How many planets are closer to the sun than Earth? 2.) 2. The teacher will model how to find information using the NASA Solar System 101 website. The teacher will return graded Safari worksheets with corrections to provide students with accurate information. 3. The teacher will model how to use Paint for the students so they can create their own 2-D models of the solar system. 4. The teacher will monitor their progress and answer any questions asked during the activity. The teacher will observe their work by walking around the room and looking at each monitor to make sure the students are on task. 5. These links will be provided in the beginning of the lesson: 1. http://student.plattsburgh.edu/mlacy001/ 2. https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/kids/ Provide Practice: 1. The students will have access to individual computers with internet access to use the links provided to access information to use to complete the Solar System Safari worksheet. 2. The students will have access to Paint to create a 2-D model of the solar system. Provide Knowledge of Results: 1. Verbal Feedback: 1. The teacher will comment on the students work as it is observed giving positive feedback and redirection as needed. 2. The teacher will go over the questions in the Solar System Safari worksheet during the last few minutes of class to provide immediate feedback. 2. Written Feedback: 1. The teacher will have the students print their worksheets and give turn them in for correction. The teacher will then grade the worksheets (with corrections) and return them to the students. Review the Activity:

1. At the end of the lesson, the teacher will go over the Solar System Safari worksheet to provide students with the correct answers to further their learning. Method of Assessment: 1. The students will be graded using a holistic rubric and an analytic rubric provided below:

Solar System Safari!

2, Mercury and Venus
How many planets (excluding dwarf planets) have no moons?

Jupiter
Which planet (excluding dwarf planets) has the largest mass?

Which planet (excluding dwarf planets) has the smallest mass?

Mercury

What are two of the dwarf planets?

Pluto, Ceres, Eris, Makemake, Haumea (Charon is also acceptable)

Jupiter
Which planet has the greatest number of moons?

Earth
Which planet is home to the Sula nebouxii?

Analytic Rubric for the 2-D Solar System Models:

Alternative #1
Failure: NASA Solar System 101 website Use alternative website: http://www.kidsastronomy.com/solar_system.htm Or http://www.iknowthat.com/ScienceIllustrations/solarsystem/science_desk.swf

Alternative #2
Failure: No internet connection Use direct Instruction to teach the basic facts of the Solar System (following the worksheet which will be printed out beforehand) After instruction, have students create their own 2-D models of the Solar System using Paint, which will be graded using the analytic rubric in the Lesson Plan

Alternative #3
Failure: No computer access Use direct Instruction to teach the basic facts of the Solar System (following the worksheet which will be printed out beforehand) After instruction, have students create their own 2-D models of the Solar System on paper with a pencil. These will be graded using the analytic rubric in the Lesson Plan, minus the color portion.
