Learning Intention: To investigate and measure how far children can jump.
Introduction: 1. Begin the lesson by recapping the previous investigation and reminding students of the learning intention. 2. Discuss the equipment needed for the investigation: exercise book, ruler (1m), and chalk. 3. Review the concept of a fair test and explain its importance in this investigation. 4. Discuss the importance of making predictions before conducting the investigation.
Main Activity: 1. Explain to the students how the investigation works and demonstrate how to measure using a meter ruler. 2. High-achieving (HA) and medium-achieving (MA) students should draw a results table in their exercise books to record their measurements. 3. Divide the class into groups of 4 or 5 students and instruct them to conduct the investigation outside. 4. Instruct the students to use chalk to draw a line where each child will jump from. 5. After each jump, students should measure how far they have jumped using the meter ruler and record their measurements in their results table. 6. Once all jumps have been recorded, students should write a conclusion based on their findings.
Differentiation: 1. For lower-achieving (LA) students, provide a pre-made worksheet that includes spelling and information that may be needed during the investigation.
