    api-346526495
    This lesson plan is for a 5th grade science class on the water cycle. The lesson will begin with activating students' background knowledge through a song about the water cycle. Students will then review and discuss the steps of the water cycle. Next, students will do a vocabulary matching activity in small groups. To reinforce the concepts, students will do a water cycle lab in their small groups where they observe ice melting and water evaporating. Finally, students will draw and write individually in Google Slides to summarize what happened in the lab and explain how it relates to the water cycle.

    (Where within the unit
    is your lesson?)
    Content Standard(s): 5-ESS2-1. Develop a model using an example to describe ways the geosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and/or atmosphere interact.

    CCSS.ELA-Literacy.SL.5.1
    Engage effectively in a range of collaborative discussions (one-on-one, in groups, and teacher-led) with diverse partners on grade 5 topics
    and texts, building on others' ideas and expressing their own clearly.

    Adaptations/ Accommodations
    Three Focus Students
    Focus Student 1: English Learner Adrian- Group work will help him as well as wait time or think time between questions and
    during discussions.
    Focus Student 2: IEP, 504, GATE, Alex (GATE)- Giving early finishers tasks to work on ahead of the group or other snippets of
    or other identified need information to add will keep them engaged.
    Focus Student 3: A student who Lilian- She does not speak up when in need of assistance or when she is not following along.
    has had life experience(s) either She will often act as if she gets it and never asks for help. I will intentionally monitor her

    Instructional Strategies  Students get up and interact with the GoNoodle Water Cycle Song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KM-59ljA4Bs
     Review of the steps of the water cycle we have learned and discussed
    Informal Assessment Participation in discussion

    Student Grouping Whole Class

    Time Estimate 10 minutes

    Instructional Input

    Instructional Strategies  Students get into groups of two or three and work on a vocabulary matching activity of terms and definitions
     Students participate in the water cycle lab:
    o They will place ice cubes in the top section of cut bottle and warm water in the lower section
    o As a group, they will observe and discuss what happens
    Informal Assessment Participation in the lab activity

    Student Grouping Small groups

    Time Estimate 20 minutes

    Closure
    Instructional Strategies  In their Google Slides, they will add a drawing to show what happened during the lab
     They will also then write about what happened and why it happened in their Google Slides
    Formal Assessment Lab write up explaining what they observed happening and why, referring to how a step of the water cycle ties into the lab

    Student Grouping Individual
