Specific questions?
|
Anticipated Issues?
|
1. Start with explaining the lesson
|
What is a food chain? How are they formed? Where are we?
| ||
2. Using the smart board, putting correct animals into the food chain.
|
Taking turns dragging photos of animals to their correct places on a displayed empty food chain.
|
What kind of animals seem to be at the top?
|
Maybe some smartboard malfunctioning
|
3. Explain energy transfer from organism to organism
|
Use the food chain the kids just made as a visual
|
Why are the animals who are at the top of the food chain there?
| |
4. Use the iPads to let the kids work independently on a vocabulary quiz I have previously prepared on Quizlet (a free online quiz maker)
|
Let the kids take the quizzes while I walk around the room and assist any kids who need help or have questions.
|
What is the relationship between consumers and their location on the food chain? Producers?
| |
5. See what they learned
|
having a game of who wants to be a millionaire featuring the vocabulary words.
|
Several questions regarding the subject in the game

This is a lesson plan that was created entirely by myself and one other person in my education 252
REFLECTION: It is incredible how technology can literally be used to do essentially anything you want to do in the classroom and I am now aware of so many other ways to utilize it. These kinds of things are what is going to shape the way I do my lesson plans in the future and help my students understand the content in a whole new efficient way.
Here is a Link to the Quizlet website mentioned in the the plan:
