On the Smartboard, the teacher will bring up the Design Brief located on the Smartboard
Student Page on the Design and Technology Weebly. The teacher will read
aloud and explain the Design Brief to the class. The teacher will ask the
students if they have any questions about the design brief or what they will be
doing over the coming weeks.
On the Smartboard, the teacher will bring up Lesson One on the Student Page
on the Design and Technology Weebly and explain to students what they will
be doing during their independent research time.

Students will progress through the activities on the Weebly Page which
include:
-Watching a video created by the teacher using Chatterpix, outlining the need
for creating bird feeders. Students will be encouraged to discuss the purpose
behind making the bird feeders in their groups and write a short statement in
Padlet that can be assessed.
-Watching a short YouTube Video that shows examples of bird feeders created
by other children. Students will discuss in their groups the types of materials
selected and advantages of these materials.
-Answering a short survey. Students will discuss and select materials from a
selection of images that would be appropriate for creating their bird feeders. In
small groups, students will answer two written questions justifying their
selection/non-selection of materials. The survey will form the basis of the
teacher’s assessment for the lesson and links to the Chemical Sciences
Curriculum.
During this independent research time, the teacher will walk around the
classroom, assisting students to read the questions and engaging in discussion
with the students. Key questions could include:
1) Why do you think that we should build bird feeders?
2) What materials might you make your bird feeder from? Why?
2:45pm Once the visual timer goes off, students will return their iPads to the trolley and
sit down on the mat where the teacher will lead a class brainstorm.
Next week students will be producing three designs for their bird feeders and
2:50pm should think about the materials they could use in the week.
Students will need to stack their chairs, pack away their pencil cases and get
their school bags ready for hometime.
3pm
Assessment: (Were the lesson objectives met? How will these be judged?)
Students will be assessed using their written statements on Padlet and the
Quiz. Please see attached checklist. The teacher will also engage in informal
observation whilst students are working.

Lesson Objectives:
In small groups, explain why the class should create bird feeders using Padlet.
In small groups, select appropriate materials for a bird feeder from a collection of pictures.
In small groups, provide justification of their selection of materials in a short, written statement.
