Lesson Plan: Topical Science

Topic: Science Stories

Curriculum Area: Sciences

Level: Early Level

Desired Outcome: I can talk about science stories to develop my understanding of science and the world around me.

Focus: A I in the future

Introduction:

• Begin the lesson by asking the students if they have ever heard a science story before. Ask them to share what they know about science stories.
• Explain to the students that science stories are stories that are based on scientific facts and concepts. They can be about anything from animals to space to the human body.
• Tell the students that today, they will be learning about science stories and how they can help us understand the world around us.

Main Activity:

• Show the students a science storybook or a video about a science story. Choose a story that is appropriate for their age and level.
• Read or watch the story with the students, pausing at key points to ask questions and check for understanding.
• After the story, ask the students to share what they learned from the story. Encourage them to use scientific vocabulary and concepts.
• Divide the students into small groups and give each group a different science storybook or video to explore.
• In their groups, the students should read or watch the story and discuss what they learned. They should also come up with questions to ask the other groups about their stories.
• Bring the groups back together and have them share what they learned and ask their questions. Encourage discussion and debate.

Conclusion:

• Ask the students to reflect on what they learned about science stories and how they can help us understand the world around us.
• Have the students draw a picture or write a sentence about what they learned from the science story they explored in their group.
• Collect the drawings or sentences and use them to create a class display about science stories.
• Remind the students that science stories are just one way we can learn about science and the world around us. Encourage them to keep exploring and asking questions.

Assessment:

• The students will be assessed on their ability to talk about science stories and use scientific vocabulary and concepts.
• The teacher will observe the students during the group discussions and ask questions to check for understanding.
• The teacher will also collect the drawings or sentences the students create and use them to assess their understanding of the science story they explored in their group.
