ICCR Science Lesson

ICCR Lesson Plan

ICCR Model: Ignite Chunk Chew Review

in an ICCR model the I stands for ignite which is where students thoughts and ideas light up. During the I portion of this type of lesson students could be asked a question which gets their brain moving in wanting to learn more. During the C-section of this model students are given small pieces of information to help them understand what they are learning. This ensures that not all information is given at once and something is forgotten and students are not overfilled with knowledge at one point. The next C in ICCR stands for Chew which is where students are able to use what they have learned and process the new information. Students can be asked to use their knowledge in an experiment or activity. The R stands for review. This is where students can have open conversations about what they've learned, be tested on information/ asked to complete a project based upon what they have learned. In the review section of a lesson students wrap up all of the knowledge from the Lesson.

My ICCR Lesson Plan

Topic: Earth and Human activities

Grade: Kindergarten

Type: ESS

IGNITE: During the Ignite portion of this lesson students would be asked a question to start there thinking

How does where we are people live compare to where animals live. How are they similar or different?

Students would share their ideas as a class, while students are sharing their ideas the teacher would be creating an anchor chart about the environments of people vs animals.

CHUNK: To give small pieces of information to students, a video about environments will play https://youtu.be/8tDVg5yISnM. This is a fun engaging video that shows how animals, plants and people all need different things form the earth to survive.

⬅️CHEW: To chew the information from the conversation and video, students will be put into partners to complete the "living things" flash cards. Students will have to match a living things to something they need to survive. This allows students to explore the topic. (example from: Amazon.com : animals with flash cards)

REVIEW: In the review sections of this lesson students will be asked to pick one living thing and draw what it needs to survive. This can be in a small flipbook or on a piece of paper.

Lesson Review

This is a good example of ICCR because it involves all aspects, ignite, chunk, chew and review section. This lesson is very students centered and is based upon inquiry learning.
This lesson is something I wanted to create because I think that teaching young children about science is so fun! Watching kindergarteners learn to grow and love our earth is amazing, this is a lesson I would use in my future classroom.
In this lesson the cross-cutting concept that is used is systems. Students can see how plants, animals and people work with one another and our earth as a whole.
This lesson allows for students to collaborate and communicate with partners, have creative freedom through drawings and show students critical thinking through activities and assessments.
To differentiate this lessons student can be asked to label/ write about what they are drawing or just include images.
