Lesson+Plan

=Analyze Your Learners = I will be teaching a 5th grade class about the Solar System, so it will have some hands on activities to keep interest in the topic, but some lecture as well. SC.5.E.5.2- Recognize the major common characteristics of all planets and compare/contrast the properties of inner and outer planets. SC.5.E.5.3- Distinguish among the following objects of the Solar System Sun, planets, moons, asteroids, comets and identify Earth's position in it. NETS III. TEACHING, LEARNING, AND THE CURRICULUM- //Teachers implement curriculum plans that include methods and strategies for applying technology to maximize student learning. Teachers:// facilitate technology-enhanced experiences that address content standards and student technology standards, use technology to support learner-centered strategies that address the diverse needs of students, apply technology to develop students’ higher order skills and creativity, manage student learning activities in a technology-enhanced environment.

**State Objectives** At the end of this lesson, the students should have a basic knowledge of our Solar System. They will also be working on their presentation skills using the Prezi software and research skills using computers and the internet. This will all be done at school in the computer lab, and their final report on the Solar System will be typed using Word. Their group projects using the Prezi’s will be shown using the iPad app for Prezi. The Bloom’s Taxonomy levels we will be targeting are Application because they will be making a Prezi project, Analysis because they will be writing a report, and Comprehension because they will be doing some sort of summary of what they learned during the unit on the solar system.

**Select Methods, Media and Materials** Computer Lab Internet iPads Prezi website software Word

**Utilize Methods, Media and Materials** They will use the computer lab to research their group projects about a single Planet. Also, they will use the computer labs to make their Prezi slide show that will be shown in the second day of the lesson within groups. (The nine groups separated by Planet will go to each iPad station to watch a Prezi show that another group has prepared. Each student will be writing a report after the presentations are over in which they will have to type using Word.

**Require Learner Participation** Each person will be requires to participate in the researching and making of the presentation about their designate planet,a s well as actively participate in learning about the other planets. They need to take notes about the other presentations to help them with their reports. In order to see if they did this, I am assigning the individual reports to see what each student has taken from the unit.
