Unit Title: Five Senses Lesson Title: Exploring Our Classroom Using Our Senses Grade Level: Kindergarten
Learning Goals: § Science Process: o S.IP.00.11 Make purposeful observation of the natural world using the appropriate sense (Michigan Science Grade Level Content Expectations, 2009) § Related Main Ideas (K-4 Science Grade Level Content Expectations Companion Document, 2009) · The five senses include sight, sound, touch, smell, and taste. · We use our senses to observe and better understand our surroundings such as seeing to know what the classroom around us looks like and how to maneuver in it. · We do not use all of our senses each time we observe something because not all senses are required (or safe) to use in every situation. § Related Practices · Students conduct observations of their classroom using their five senses. · Students identify what sense(s) they used to observe particular objects. · Students identify what sense(s) they did not use to observe and object and why. o S.IA.00.13 Communicate and present findings of observations (Michigan Science Grade Level Content Expectations, 2009) § Related Main Ideas · After we conduct an observation we need to be able to share our findings with others communicate our ideas and findings and receive feedback. · There are many different ways we can communicate our findings such as oral presentations, charts, and books. · We can have discussions about our findings or we can create a document that represents them. § Related Practices · Students hold small and large group discussions about their findings. · Students discuss various ways that they could share their information with others. · Students create a document (i.e. book, chart, etc.) to share their findings.
§ Michigan Educational Technology Standards o PK-2.CC. Communication and Collaboration - By the end of Grade 2nd each student will: § 1. work together when using digital tools (e.g., word processor, drawing, presentation software) to convey ideas or illustrate simple concepts relating to a specified project § 2. use a variety of developmentally appropriate digital tools (e.g., word processors, paint programs) to communicate ideas to classmates, families, and others Central Question for Lesson:
What things do I observe in my classroom and what sense from my body do I use to examine them? (How do my senses help me understand my world?
