Overview: In this lesson plan you will find a lesson about magnets. The students will be introduced to it then taught different strategies to remember it by. The students should already know what magnets are, how they move certain objects without touching them, and how magnets attract and repel each other. The teacher will have goals, objectives, instructional procedures, assessments, and materials to learn with. The teacher will also incorporate lessons for diverse learners in each lesson.
They will go over the 5 w’s (what, when, why, where, and how) and ask higher order thinking questions that include deep thought. They will interact in groups and do things by themselves. The teacher will introduce what magnets are, how they work, and when they work, why they work, and where they will work. The teacher will give them facts, read them books, do an activity to see what attracts magnets, use science content area textbook with questions, make a library visit and check out a magnet book, use main idea and supporting details, do an activity to see how magnets attract and repel each other, group discussion, draw a picture of magnets and write a story about it, a word search puzzle, a vocabulary worksheet, an activity of magnets separating two powders, and an assessment test to see how much they learned. These activities follow along with the standards for the 3rd grade level. The standards incorporated in with this lesson are Science, English/Language Arts, and Reading.
Heather, you're blog and video was great! I love how you involved your kids. I think if you show that video to your class, your students will really enjoy it. How would you modify this for lower learning levels?
ReplyDeleteYour blog is great, Heather! You mentioned that students should already know about magnets, how would you gather information on what they already know?

ReplyDeleteLaura: I would give each student a part in creating the car with the kids being in groups of four where they could help each other and learn from each other!
Mallory: I would look at the standards from the year before and review with them first!
Jeremy: I would put them in groups of four and give each child a part to complete the car so EVERYONE will be involved!
Lorraine: Third grade so 10-12!
