- Science Lesson Plan
During my general science class at Appalachian State
University, I modified an existing lesson plan to create a lesson on sinking
and floating. I taught it to my lab class. If I end up teaching
first or second grade, I will be able to use this lesson as part of my
curriculum because it incorporates the North Carolina Standard Course of
Study. As part of my lesson on sinking and floating, I will play
a short clip from the movie “Titanic” to illustrate this concept.
This movie is very popular and will be something the children can relate
to. (10.2) As part of the lesson, the
students will be taking their own objects and predict whether they will
sink or float and then test their hypothesis. I have also created
some higher order thinking skills questions to promote the student’s inquiry
(12.5).
