Lesson Implementation

[kt5] Instructional Strategies:

 

1.  Students will view videos and do experiments alternately, as well as use guiding questions and Excel spreadsheet  to acquire information and draw conclusions about various aspects of the moon.

7.        

2.  Students will use that information to present, visually, an overview of the moon aspects in book jacket form.

8.        

3.  Students will also synthesize and evaluate what they have learned to determine why we need to learn about the moon.

9.        

4.  Several extensions are included beyond the basic project in the intelligences section.

10.      

5.  Students will also do a variety of other activities within the regular classroom to support the project.

[kt6] Accommodation/Modification Options:  Note takers could be used to help those students unable to do the quiding questions on their own.  Teachers chould choose between individual, group and whole group setting for the videos and experiments.  Those that need accelerated activities could choose from among the additional activities.
