Lesson Plan 3
Grade
Level: 7th grade.
Lesson: Volcanoes and their properties.
Objective: Students will be able to identify the properties of
volcanoes and be able to distinguish the different types of volcanoes and what
makes them different.
Time: 60 minutes.
Materials: Computer, PowerPoint and google.com.
Procedure:
1 1.) The lesson will begin with an introductory PowerPoint presentation
on Volcanoes. This presentation will get students familiar with volcanoes and
ready to research them for later on in the lesson. The PowerPoint will go over
the different types of volcanoes, the different types of volcanic eruptions,
the effects eruptions can cause, the different types of lava, and different
types of rocks associated with volcanic formations. This will take about 15
minutes.
2 2.) The students will break off on their own and research a particular
volcano of their interest. They will spend 30 minutes doing so.
3 3.) Students will make a PowerPoint presentation on their volcano of
choice. In the presentation they will address the following characteristics of
their volcano: type of volcano, eruption type, eruption effects on the area and
possibly the world, the date of the eruption, location and name of volcano,
lava flow associated with volcano, and they will include some pictures. Their
presentations will be 5 minutes each. This will take 15 minutes.
Assessment:
Assessment
will be made based on the students’ presentations addressing the
characteristics of volcanoes. Whether or not they answer all the questions, and
whether or not the answers are correct.
Nate,
ReplyDeleteThe lessons that you have created in this class have continued to get more creative and to engage the students in different ways. Continue to develop your assessments and define exactly what you expect from the students as they are working on your activities. The reflections are well done and develop an understanding of what happened and how you will use these understandings in the future.
