K-5 Science Model
On this page, you will find:
- A 4th Grade lesson plan, with virtual and traditional formats, on food chains and webs. This lesson would be easily adaptable for 7th grade as well.
- A Moon Phases Virtual Formative Assessment
- This lesson covers S4L1: Food Chains and Food Webs
Virtual Lesson Plan
This Google Slides deck contains the "transformed" traditional lesson plan. This lesson serves as an asynchronous lesson for students at home, or for a flipped classroom. Notice the embedded links, embedded videos, and virtual collaboration between students and the teacher. Compare this with the traditional lesson plan to the right and watch the "Talking Through the Resources" video to get an idea of one way to use the lessons you already have to reach students in a virtual setting!

This traditional, synchronous, and face-to-face lesson plan is transformed into a digital learning lesson! Compare this document with the Google Slides Deck for Science - linked to the left. Notice how the instructional activities are similar, but must take on a different format for virtual learning.
Talking Through the Resources
This video demonstrates to K-5 grade Science teachers one effective way of transforming a traditional face-to-face lesson plan and packaging it for asynchronous virtual learners.
