Assignment 01
EC400
Early Childhood Math and Science
Directions:
Be sure to make an electronic copy of your answer before submitting
it to Ashworth College for grading.
Unless otherwise stated, answer in complete sentences, and be sure to
use correct English spelling and grammar.
Sources must be cited in APA format.
Your response should be one (1)
single-spaced page in length; refer to the “Assignment
Format” page for specific format requirements. (Total possible points: 100)
After completing the reading assignments for Lesson 1, you
will have learned a lot about lesson planning.
Use the Basic Science Lesson Plan components outlined on pages 108-110―topic/concept,
objective, materials, advanced preparation, procedure, evaluation and extension―to
write a science lesson plan appropriate for use in an early childhood
classroom. (You do not have to include the �Goal� component in your lesson
plan.)
After creating the lesson plan, list at least two extension
activities. Your extension activities should include activities that involve
different multiple intelligences other than that addressed in the lesson plan
activity. Do not use the same multiple
intelligence for both activities. Put
the name of the corresponding intelligences in parenthesis at the beginning of
the activity so it is clear which of the multiple intelligences you are involving. Refer to page 31 in your textbook to find the
list of Gardner�s multiple intelligences.
A note about writing
your objective: Though the text book suggests beginning your objective with,
�The child should be able to��, in the real world of teaching, your objective
would have to be aligned with a state standard.
Please find an appropriate state standard from the Georgia Performance
Standards at www.georgiastandards.org
that your lesson plan will meet.
For example, here is a science standard for kindergarteners
in Georgia:
STANDARD
SKP1 Students will describe objects in
terms of the materials they are made of and their physical properties.
ELEMENT a. Compare and sort materials of different composition (common
materials include clay, cloth, paper, plastic, etc.).
ELEMENT b. Use senses to classify common materials, such as buttons or
swatches of cloth, according to their physical attributes (color, size, shape,
weight, texture, buoyancy, flexibility)
If the concept you want to teach is that various objects
feel different from one another, the standard you would be meeting would be:
SKP1 ELEMENT b. Use senses
to classify common materials, such as buttons or swatches of cloth, according
to their physical attributes (color, size, shape, weight, texture, buoyancy,
flexibility).
A break down of what is expected in your assignment is
below.
Concept:
This is stated in complete sentence(s) and is appropriate
for an early childhood classroom.
Objective/
Standard:
This states a specific state standard.
Materials:
Lists all materials used in the procedure.
Advanced
Preparation:
This includes all tasks that must be completed by the
teacher before the lesson.
Procedure:
——————see
below—————————————-
initiating activity
This is an activity, story, song etc… used to get the
children�s attention and interest in the topic.
how to do it
This section provides thorough step-by-step directions on
how to complete the activity with the students.
Evaluation:
Includes at least 3 questions you will answer to determine
the success of the activity and the children�s level of interest and
learning.
Extension:
Includes two activities that each addresses one or more
different multiple intelligences then the activity in the lesson.
