This document summarizes a lesson plan incorporating elements of Universal Design for Learning (UDL). The lesson involves students working in groups to conduct experiments with magnets. Checkpoints from each of the three UDL elements - Engagement, Representation, and Action and Expression - are addressed. For Engagement, students collaborate in groups during the experiments and reflect on their predictions. For Representation, a video is used to build background knowledge and define vocabulary. For Action and Expression, organizational supports, accessible classroom layout, and graduated levels of support are provided.

Lesson Plan Section 2: The UDL Elements Engagement
Which checkpoint did you
incorporate? 8.3 Foster collaboration and community.
9.3 Develop self-assessment and
reflection.
8.2 Vary demands and resources to
optimize challenge.
How and why?
Students move from station to station with their table groups. While they all have individual recording sheets, they get to work and communicate with their groups while completing the lab. This allows the students to share their discoveries with other students and to have conversations with each other during the experiments to question Why? and How? aloud. It strengthens the inquiry process. Students make predictions for what will happen during the experiments, and at the end, the teacher will ask them to reflect upon their predictions. Did their ideas about magnetic attraction change? This way, students are intentional about their thinking and reflect upon their surprise when their predictions were incorrect. Students experiment with objects that they are familiar with, but do not know the results of yet. They are just beginning the lesson with magnets, and are asked to complete tests with them that they have never done before. There are also 3 very different activities in this lesson that present the information in different waysthrough video and hands on experimentation. Students have the opportunity to learn through multiple resources.
Representation
Which checkpoint did you
incorporate? 3.1 Activate or supply background knowledge.
2.1 Clarify vocabulary and symbols.
How and why?
At the beginning of the lesson, the teacher should remind students of the lesson they had previously by asking questions about some of the properties of magnets. A review is important to ensure that students are prepared to take in new information for a scaffolded lesson. Showing the Bill Nye video is an engaging way for students to learn vocabulary and see a visual representation of how magnets work. Definitions are clearly described for students
1.2 Offer alternatives for auditory
information.
in this video. It sets the foundation for students to be
successful in the lesson. Subtitles are available on the YouTube video for students that need additional support for auditory information. If no subtitles were available for students that had hearing impairments, they would miss the entire point of the video.
Action and Expression
Which checkpoint did you
incorporate? 6.3 Facilitate managing information and resources.
4.1 Vary the methods for response
and navigation.
5.3 Build fluencies with graduated
levels of support for practice and performance.
How and why?
The teacher models how the students should fold their paper, and has the students list each object in the same order. The teacher also directs which side of their papers to write each part of the lesson on. This helps the students to stay organized and keep their information in the correct order. The table groups in this classroom must be far enough apart to support a student in a wheelchair to move throughout the classroom. This ensures full class participation and doesnt force the teacher to provide individual materials for that particular student. This lesson is scaffolded in an I Do- We Do- You Do setup. The students begin with watching a video and listening to the teacher present. Then they work in groups with individual recordings during the lab experiment. Then they complete an assessment individually. Students have the opportunity to strengthen their learning through the graduated levels of support.
