Lesson1-Wechange 1

This lesson plan introduces physical changes in animals and humans from young to old. The objectives are for students to identify physical differences between young and old, compare how animals looked when young versus old, and identify physical traits that stay the same. Materials needed are the teacher's baby picture, current picture, and a baby animals PowerPoint. The plan has three parts: an introduction showing the teacher's baby/current photo and discussing physical changes; a life cycle activity where students find pictures in magazines of young and old animals; and a closure where students share what they found with a partner. The teacher reflection notes that more time is needed and it could have been more hands-on.

Miss Ohs baby picture and current picture


Baby animals PPT

N/A

The description of (script for) the lesson, wherein you describe teacher
activities and student activities
Exploration
Have students come to the rug and show the first slide of the animals
slideshow (picture of teacher when she was a baby and what she looks like
now)
Ask students what they notice that has changed in how Miss Oh
looks=physical appearance.
Tell students that this is why they need to bring in their
baby pictures. We are going to look at how each of us has changed as
we got older.
Write down ideas on chart paper as students give answers
i.e. You have more hair, you have more teeth, your eyes
got a little bigger, etc.
Helping Hands will use the mouse to click and go onto the next slide.
Teacher guide students to look at name of the young (ask students to
read the word for us)
Students will volunteer and identify differences/similarities of the
animals on diagram.
Teacher ask students: What are some of the things that an animal
needs or something we need to grow? (water, food, shelter/habitat) Can an
animal or we grow if we cannot breath or have water?
Start new chart paper page and divide into 2 columns: young and old
Life cycle activity
Teacher will explain/demonstrate the activity: students will look
through magazines with partners and find at least 2-3 pictures that would fit
in the young and old section of the chart
When you want to glue something on the chart, you must talk to a
teacher first and explain why you think this is in the young or old column
Talk about it with your partner before calling over a teacher: Does it
make sense? What evidence do I have that this picture belongs to the young
section or to the old section?
Dismiss students by partners (or groups)

5m

Closure

Students share with their learning partners what they chose and why.

Your reflection on the lesson including ideas for improvement for next time:
Science time is really short to do the whole lesson (barely got through the
PowerPoint)
Students really enjoyed the PPT, especially looking at teachers picture of young
and now
Would have liked the lesson to be more engaging/hands on than looking at
pictures
