Melissa’s Lesson Plan

Subject: Science

Topic: Animals http://www.nationalgeographic.com/

Objectives: At the end of the lesson I hope that each student has an understanding of the different types of animals and their environmental lifestyles.

Procedures: Teacher: will bring in magazines and extra index cards.

Student: will bring in 1 index card and one option is to bring in a photograph of a family pet. The idea is to have them choose one picture and cut out the photograph and then paste it on the index card. On the back put the animal and then as a whole class come up with facts about the animal. That will then make a flash card.

Evaluation: Before doing the flashcards have the students write down on a sheet of paper what they know about the animals they are going to make a flash card out of. Then after the flashcards are made have the class work together on different facts of each animal. See what they know and have them help each other out. Also read them information about the animals when they need help coming up with ideas. After everything take the flashcards and quiz them on what they have learned.

Materials: magazines, photos, index cards, glue sticks, scissors, and pencils
