3. Goals: Aims/Outcomes-
|
Allow students to begin a basic comprehension of temperature, seasons,
and graphing. More specifically, the students will be allowed to see
how a range of temperatures fit into each of the seasons.
|
| |
|
|
4. Objectives-
|
1.Students will learn how to read from an actual thermometer.
2. Students will learn how to record the temperature that they found
on their thermometer. |
| |
|
5. Materials and Aids-
|
. Big thermometer
2. Seasons (pre-made with cardboard, cotton, carpet grass, silk flowers
and leaves, paper bags for trees).
3. 8 two liter pop bottles, (with scissors to cut them).
4. 8 thermometers, (with tape).
5. Paper thermometers (four for each child).
6. season worksheets (one worksheet for each child).
7. Glue sticks
8. crayons |

|
6. Procedures/Methods-
|
|
A. Introduction-
| Call children over for circle time and do some counting drills with
the big thermometer. (by ones, by two's-the special way, by five's,
and by tens.) |
| |
|
|
B. Development-
| Continue the lecture by moving the thermometer and have the children
read it; introduce the word degrees. Ask what temperatures are hot
and which ones are cold. Ask children to repeat the four seasons in
order; do it continuously several times to help children comprehend
the idea that the seasons cycle |
| |
|
|
C. Practice-
| Have students color a paper thermometer closest to the temperature
they see on the the actual thermometer. |
| |
|
|
D. Independent Practice-
Teacher will then break them off into groups by counting (and tapping).
"All number ones are at this station,"� and so forth. At this
time tell them to pick up the season worksheet and the four paper
thermometers on the from counter before they go to their station.
When at the stations, allow students several minutes to complete their
task and then have them rotate.
a. The students are to first look at the thermometer and find the
temperature to the closest degree. (remind students that they are
allowed to look at the big thermometer for help on how to read the
thermometer.)
b. Next, the students are to take their paper thermometers and color
it so that it looks just like the real thermometers.
c. Finally, the children will glue their paper thermometer to the
season worksheet.
d. Students will then color in the rest of the picture until teacher
tells them to move to the next center.
e. Teacher will give signal for center time. |

E. Accommodations (Differentiated Instruction)-
| Special assistance will be given to those students with learning
disabilities. |
| |
|
|
F. Checking for understanding-
| Ask students various questions relating to temperature and seasons. |
| |
|
7. Evaluation-
|
| Did the child color a temperature that makes sense on their paper
thermometer? Did they place it in the correct season? |
