For the grade seven science lesson, I am showing a video clip from you tube that explains and demonstrates the effects of erosion and the formation of current landforms such as caves . Once the students view the beginning of the video, I will get the students to hypothesize what will happen, carry out hte experiment in the video and then watch the remaining of the video.
Planning and Prep
For this video clip I will make sure that I have the materials needed for the students to do the same experiment that video clip goes through. I will not show the result of the video clip as I will get the students to hypothesize and carry out their investigation. Once their assignment is completed I will finish the video clip. I will make sure that I have the correct URL address written down in an email or other text to hyperlink to the video clip. I will also make sure that the video clip works before presenting it to my students.
Outcomes
tudents will:
1. Describe and demonstrate methods used in the scientific study of Earth and in observing and
interpreting its component materials
• investigate and interpret evidence that Earth’s surface undergoes both gradual and sudden change
(e.g., recognize earthquakes, volcanoes and landslides as examples of sudden change; recognize
glacial erosion and river erosion as examples of gradual/incremental change)
• interpret models that show a layered structure for Earth’s interior; and describe, in
Students will:
Work collaboratively on problems; and use appropriate language and formats to communicate ideas,
procedures and results
• receive, understand and act on the ideas of others (e.g., adopt and use an agreed procedure for
preparing diagrams and charts)
• communicate questions, ideas, intentions, plans and results, using lists, notes in point form,
sentences, data tables, graphs, drawings, oral language and other means
• work cooperatively with team members to develop and carry out a plan (e.g., prepare a class
presentation on the digestive system, including a model constructed by the group)
• evaluate individual and group processes used in planning, problem solving, decision making and
completing a task (e.g., evaluate processes used in completing a cooperative group project)
ICT outcomes
C5 Students will use technology to aid collaboration during inquiry.
C6 Students will use technology to investigate and/or solve
problems.
C7 Students will use electronic research techniques to construct
personal knowledge and meaning.
C3 3.1 evaluate the authority and reliability of electronic sources
