    This 5E lesson plan for 5th grade science teaches students about food chains and energy transfer through an exploration of producers, consumers, predators, and prey. Students will engage with the concept of the circle of life by organizing picture cards into a food chain. They will then classify organisms, construct their own food chain, and explain energy flow. Formative assessments include classifying organisms and drawing a food chain. The lesson differentiates instruction and provides modifications such as reading aloud and enlarging worksheets.

    5E Lesson Plan

    Teacher: Ms. Kirby


    Date: November 3rd, 2015
    Subject / grade level: 5th grade Science
    Materials:
    Computer
    Not-Taking worksheet (20 copies)
    Picture cards- cute and paste pictures onto flashcards (ten sets)
    Yarn (10 strands at about a foot long)
    Standards:
    KS- Kansas Curriculum Standards
    Subject: Science
    Grade: Grades 5-7
    Standard: STANDARD 3: LIFE SCIENCE The student will apply process skills
    to explore and
    understand structure and function in living systems, reproduction and
    heredity, regulation
    and behavior, populations and ecosystems, and diversity and adaptations of
    organisms.
    Benchmark: Benchmark 4: The student will identify and relate
    interactions of populations
    of organisms within an ecosystem.
    Knowledge/ Application Indicator: 3. traces the energy flow
    from the sun (source
    of radiant energy) to producers (via photosynthesis chemical
    energy) to
    consumers and decomposers in food webs.
    Next Generation Science Standards
    5.LS: Life Science
    5.LS.2: Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics
    5.LS.2.1: Develop a model to describe the movement of matter
    among plants, animals,
    decomposers, and the environment.
    Lesson objective(s):
    Students will be able to classify with an 80% accuracy each organism as either a
    producer or a consumer
    Students will be able to classify with an 80% accuracy each organism as either a
    predator or a prey
    Student will be able to construct a food chain with 80% accuracy that includes a
    producer, a consumer, a predator and a prey.

    Differentiation strategies to meet diverse learner needs:


    Modifications for adaptive learners: while reading/discussing the slide show
    about food chains I will be sure to point and read. Also, when I will read aloud
    1

    5E Lesson Plan

    each statement on the Note-taking worksheet so that they can follow along
    Modifications for Gifted learners: I will Modify the Note-taking worksheet so
    that instead of drawing a food chain, they will draw a food web which has
    multiple food chains

    ENGAGEMENT
    1. I will begin the lesson by having students listen to the song The circle of Life
    from the Lion King movie (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwSKkKrUzUk).
    (Musical/Naturalistic)
    2. After the video is over, I will ask the students What is the circle of life?
    (Bloom: Knowledge) (Science Process Skill: Observation)
    EXPLORATION
    1. I will then present the flashcards that have the lettuce, rabbit, coyote and lion to
    the students and challenge them to organize these picture cards to represent the
    circle of life in partners.
    2. I will pass out the picture cards along with a piece of yarn and set them off to
    meet this challenge of organizing the picture cards to represent the circle of life
    along the yarn. (Gardner: Bodily/Kinesthetic)
    3. As students are finding ways to meet this challenge, I will go around to the
    students to ask why they organized their cards this way.
    4. After I have given them time to organize their cards I will bring the class back
    together.
    EXPLANATION
    1. The teacher will ask the students how they organized their picture cards.
    (Science Processing Skills: Communication)
    2. Why did they organize it this way? What is their reasoning? (Blooms: Knowledge)
    (Science Processing Skills: Communication)
    The teacher will guide them that the rabbit eats the lettuce the coyote
    eats the rabbit and the lion eats the coyote.
    ELABORATION/EXPANSION
    1. I will then direct the students attention to the overhead screen, which shows a 6
    slide PowerPoint of a food chain. (Gardner: Visual)
    2. After going through the slides, I will review the information (Science Process
    skills: Classification)
    Why are plants called producers? (They make their own food) (Blooms:
    Comprehension)
    Why are animals considered consumers? (They get their food from plants
    or other animals) (Blooms: Comprehension)
    What is a predator? (An animals that eats other animals)
    What is a prey? (An animal that is being eaten)
    What does this food chain have to do with energy? The teacher will guide
    the students that animals get their energy from their food.
    Why do animals need energy?
    3. I will then pass out the Note-taking worksheet, which we will be doing as a class.
    2

    5E Lesson Plan
    I will guide them through the note taking section and fill in the blank section
    (Blooms: Analyzing) (Science Process Skills : Classification)
    The rabbit/ lettuce is a producer or consumer
    The coyote and lion is a predator or prey
    4. At the bottom of the note-taking worksheet the students will explain and draw
    their own food chain. (Blooms: Creating)
    5. I will remind the students that their food chain has to include all 4 organisms:
    producer, consumer, prey and predator. This will have to be labeled on their
    worksheet.
    6. On the back of the worksheet the students will write a paragraph about energy
    and why animals need energy. What do they use their energy for? In this food
    web how they getting their energy.

    EVALUATION
    The discussion after the circle of life song-informal assessment
    The teacher will assess the Note-taking worksheet where the students classify
    the four organisms: a producer, a consumer a predator or a prey.
    The teacher will also assess the students drawing of their food chain.
    These two formative assessment will help the teacher see if the students
    understand the concepts or not If they are not understanding the concepts the
    teacher will present the information in a different way.

    Adaptations/Enrichment (Extensions):
    Student with a disability in reading/language arts:
    While reading/discussing the slide show about food chains be sure to point and read.
    Also, read aloud each statement on the Note-Taking worksheet, so that the student can
    follow along with his or her pointer.
    Student with Gifts and Talents in Creativity
    Modify the Note-Taking worksheet, so that instead of drawing a food chain, he or she will
    draw a food web, which has multiple food chains.
    Student with a Visual Impairment
    Have the student sit up at the front throughout the whole lesson, so that he or she can
    see the overhead as well as the picture cards you show the students at the beginning of
    the lesson. Also, enlarge the Note-taking worksheet.
    Student with a Hearing Impairment
    Have the student sit up at the front throughout the whole lesson. Also, when talking to
    the whole group, speak in a teacher voice, and make sure your back is not turned away
    from him or her when you are speaking. In addition, when playing The Circle of Life
    song, make sure the volume is set at an appropriate volume for him or her to hear.
    Self Reflection Questions (since I have not actually taught the lesson yet)
    1. Were my students able to organize the picture cards to represent the circle of life?
