Distinguish between types of precipitation.Performance Objectives (Learning Outcomes):The students will understand the steps involved in the water cycle by making the water cycle in the bagInstructional MaterialsPlastic bagBlack markersWaterProjector WorksheetChart paper The Magic School Bus Wet All Over by Patricia RelfSubject Matter/Content (prerequisite skills, key vocabulary, big idea, outline of additional content)Prerequisite skillsAt level reading skillsAt level writing skillsB. New VocabularyPrecipitation: rain, snow, sleet, or hail that falls to the groundCondensation: water that collects as droplets on a cold surface when humid air is in contact with it.Evaporation: The process of a substance in a liquid state changing to a gaseous state due to an increase in temperature and/or pressure.Surface flow: The flow of water that occurs when excess storm water, melt water, or other sources flows over the Earth's surface.C. Big IdeaThe students will understand the process of the water cycleImplementationIntroduction“Good morning class! We already looked at how we can measure weather, so today we are going to learn about the water cycle!”“Were going to listen to a song that explains the water cycle to you, so listen carefully”“Who can tell me one thing that they learned from this video?”As the teacher calls on students, she will write up on chart paper correct responses.“Great job class. So as a class we are all going to stand up at our desks.”Students will stand up at their desks“I’m going to demonstrate the water cycle using my arms. First listen, then you can repeat!”“First we have water on the ground and in lakes.” Teacher will have her hands in front of her moving back and forth horizontally.“What happens next is, the water that is on the ground evaporates into the air and up to the clouds. This is evaporation” Teacher will move hands up into a half circle to her left.“Once the water from the ground evaporated into the clouds, this is called condensation. Teacher will put hands above her head. Who thinks they know what happens to that water that is collected in the clouds?”“The water will come down like rain or hail or snow! This is call precipitation!” Teacher will use fingers to imitate rain coming down from the sky.“The last step in the water cycle is surface runoff which is when the water from the precipitation comes back down onto the ground.”“Okay class now lets all do it together.” Water on the ground, evaporation, condensation, surface runoff.” While saying it, teacher and students should do hand motions.“Great job class, have a seat.”Students will sit back down at their desks.“We are going to make our own water cycle today to help you always remember it!”Teacher will have the teacher’s helper’s pass out a plastic bag and marker to everyone.The words evaporation, condensation, precipitation and surface runoff will be written on the whiteboard.The teacher will turn on the projector and put her plastic bag up on the projector for all students to see. “Okay class we are going to label where evaporation, condensation, precipitation and surface runoff goes. I will start by drawing a lake at the bottom of my bag with my marker and labeling it. You do the same”“Who thinks they know where the next step evaporation goes?”The teacher will call on a student who has their hand raised and tell them to point on the spot on the bag that is projected on the board.“So evaporation will go here because the water from the ground evaporates into the air.” Teacher will draw the correct spot where evaporation goes.The teacher will repeat these same steps for condensation, precipitation and surface runoff.“Good job class. Now hold onto your bags, we are going to put a few drops of water in there!”The teacher will pass out a worksheet to the class and have them number 1-4 the steps in which the water cycle occurs while waiting their time to come up to get water for their bag.Students will get called up 1 by 1 and bring up their worksheet which will then be looked while the student is up there. If the student got an answer wrong, the teacher will put a check mark next to their name on a check sheet.Teacher will continue this until all students have turned in their paper and got water in their bag. Following this, the teacher will call up each student to hang his or her water cycle bags in the back of the classroom by the windowsill.Closure“You did a great job today class! Before we move on, who can tell me one thing that they learned today about the water cycle and will go home and tell their parents?”“Great job! To finish up our lesson, I am going to read a story to you.”Teacher will read the story The Magic School Bus Wet All Over by Patricia RelfStudents will respond and move onto their next lesson.Accommodations/Differentiation C.B has a visual disability; having a seat up close to the board to see the words written and the plastic bag on the projector will accommodate her. If she needs help with where one of the words goes on the bag, the student next to her will help. Assessment/Evaluation Plan 1. Formative1. Worksheet of ordering the steps 1-4 in the water cycle. Students will have to get ? correct, if less than 3 correct then will get a check on the check sheet2. Summative1. End of unit Reflective ResponseReport of Student Performance in Terms of Stated Objectives Remediation PlanPersonal Reflection 1. Did the song help introduce the lesson well?2.
