to their use for particular purposes Skills: Working Technologically: ST1-5WT: uses a structured design process, everyday tools, materials, equipment and techniques to produce solutions that respond to identified needs and wants Working Scientifically: ST1-4WS: investigates questions and predictions by collecting and recording data, sharing and reflecting on their experiences and comparing what they and others know Values and Attitudes: ST1-1VA: Shows interest in and enthusiasm for science and technology, responding to their curiosity, questions and perceived needs, wants and opportunities MA1-1WM: describes mathematical situations and methods using everyday and some mathematical language, actions, materials, diagrams and symbols MA1-2WM: uses objects, diagrams and technology to explore mathematical problems MA1-1WM: describes mathematical situations and methods using everyday and some mathematical language, actions, materials, diagrams and symbols MA1-2WM: uses objects, diagrams and technology to explore mathematical problems EN1-12E: identifies and discusses aspects of their own and others’ learning EN1-10C: thinks imaginatively and creatively about familiar topics, ideas and texts when responding to and composing texts EN1-11D: responds to and composes a range of texts about familiar aspects of the world and their own experiences the expressive skills of movement and voice DRAS1.3: Interacts collaboratively to communicate the action of the drama with others links: Built Environment: ST1-14BE: Describes a range of places and spaces in the local environment and how their purposes influence their design (Lesson 3) Products: ST1-16P: Describes a of manufactured products in the local environment and how their different purposes influence their design (Lessons 5, 7, 8 and 9) Living Things: ST1-11LW Describes ways that different places in the environment provide for the needs of living things (Lesson 3)
Explore Students are asked to share when they go home, eat and sleep what materials do they use. These are displayed on the board. Students are then to image if they had to spend a night outside what materials could they use. These are displayed on the other side of the board. The teacher will then make links about the differences between natural materials and man made materials based on what the students shared. Students are then asked to imagine that tonight they must sleep outside. The teacher will then take students outside and in their ‘mobs’ (groups of four) they must use role-play to act out using materials around them how they would survive the outdoors for one night. Each group is assigned an iPad and is only allowed to use it as a means for recording their discussions, explanations and role-play. As students are planning and gathering the teacher will prompt students with the following questions: “ How will you stay warm tonight?” “What will you sleep in?” “What happens if it rains, what will you do about that?” “What will you eat for dinner?” Students are provided with approximately five minutes to write or draw in their individual science journals. E.g. What students did in the lesson, what they learnt and what they enjoyed. Sticks Rocks Leaves Tree branches TWLH Chart (Appendix 3) Example of Word Wall ST112MW DRAS1.1 DRAS1.2 DRAS1.3 MA1-2WM Differentiation: Student groups or ‘mobs’ are ability based, so that during reflecting and presenting the students can learn from one another. Students of less ability receive more verbal prompting than those of higher ability. Students are encouraged to enter data into their journals in either the form of writing or drawing. Assessment: The form of assessment that will take is a TWLH Chart: (What we think we know, What we want to learn, What we learned and How we know). Only the first 2 sections (T & W) of this chart will be filled out in the class as a whole. The first two sections will give the teacher an insight to what the students know or think about the topic and also give information on what the students are interested in and would like to address within the topic. 5E’s Lesson 4: Experiment- Mixing Paint Resources Outcomes Sign off
