In Section 1, students return to Bullfrog at Magnolia Circle, a book read aloud from in Unit 1, Lesson Sequence 1.Both the guiding question and the long-term learning are aligned with 3-LS4-4 by the end of the unit, students will be able to answer the guiding question and have mastered the long-term learning. As students learn about habitat loss, they begin to note cause and effect (a Crosscutting Concept), but this concept is not explicitly taught at this point. Students are asking questions and designing solutions (both Science and Engineering Practices), but these practices are not explicitly taught, nor are students expected to meet the rigor of the 3-5 grade level band. Because the purpose of this lesson sequence is to activate student thinking through the anchoring phenomenon, there are no Crosscutting Concepts, Science and Engineering Practices, or Disciplinary Core Ideas explicitly addressed. In this lesson sequence, students are introduced to the performance task and the anchoring phenomenon for Unit 2, which is meant to activate student thinking and interest in the module guiding question, as well as to create a "need to know" for the long-term learning target.Purpose of lesson sequence and alignment with NGSS standards: Scientists Meeting: Gathering Ideas (25 minutes) Reading Aloud: Bullfrog at Magnolia Circle (15 minutes)Ī. I can generate ideas about what I will need to know in order to design a frog habitat.Ī.I can reflect on the issue of frog habitat loss.This lesson sequence does not explicitly teach any of the Science and Engineering Practices, Crosscutting Concepts, or Disciplinary Core Ideas. Make a claim about the merit of a solution to a problem by citing relevant evidence about how the solution meets the criteria and constraints of the problem of habitat loss for amphibians. Long-Term Learning Addressed (Based on NGSS)
After learning about the issue of habitat loss, students are introduced to their performance task: designing a frog pond that could be built in a schoolyard or nearby park. The anchoring phenomenon for this unit is introduced with a class read-aloud of Bullfrog at Magnolia Circle and a slideshow of common frog habitats. This lesson sequence begins Unit 2 of the Grade 3 Life Science Module. Total Time: 1.5 hours of instruction (divided into two sections)
