Teacher Candidate: Caroline Yobak Date: 04/27/18
Grade and Topic: 4th Grade Life Science Length of Lesson: Approx. 7 Days
Mentor Teacher: School: University of Memphis
UNIT/CHAPTER OBJECTIVE/GENERALIZATION/BIG IDEA:

● List the unit objective for which this lesson is part.
● Recognize that cells are the building blocks of all living things.
● The difference between Plant cells and Animal cells and the organelle that differentiate
them
LESSON OBJECTIVE:
● List the specific content learning goals and objectives for the lesson.:
● Students will be able to identify whether a cell is a plant or animal cell and the building blocks that
make them up by completing a WebQuest and creating a graphic organizer with the learned information.
● Note any goals or expectations related to student participation in the lesson.
○ Students will be able to use creative tools and express their lesson
comprehension with technology.
○ Students will be able to utilize and understand Web tools in order to
complete a given assignment and organize information into future use with a Graphic
Organizer.
STANDARDS ADDRESSED:
● List the State/District and/or Common Core standards addressed in the lesson. Also list ISTE’s NETS*S
standard if technology use is applicable.
● GLE 0407.1.1 Recognize that cells are the building blocks of all living things.
○ SPI 0407.1.1 Compare basic structures of plant and animal cells
● ISTE 6: Technology operations and concepts
 Students demonstrate a sound understanding of technology concepts, systems, and
operations.
 Understand and use technology systems
 Select and use applications effectively and productively
 Troubleshoot systems and applications
 Transfer current knowledge to learning of new technologies
MATERIALS:
● List of all materials you will use as part of the lesson.
○ Some of the needed materials for this lesson include the textbook, Unit
Instruction, Computer or tablet for online WebQuest, Kidspiration application for Graphic
Organizer, and follow up worksheet.
● If applicable, identify how and why technology will be integrated. Include a list of needed technology
and websites. If technology is being used for the creation of a product, include a sample of the product.
○ Technology will be integrated in two different ways in order to comprehend
information in an integrated way and connect the learned information into an organized
and creative format.

○ Application: http://www.inspiration.com/Kidspiration
BACKGROUND and RATIONALE:

● What are the key concepts for the lesson?
○ Some of the key concepts for this lesson are the understanding of cell makeup,
specialized organelle, differences in cell function, and differentiation in cell types (i.e. Plant Cells
and Animal Cells) and their organelle similarities and differences.
● What is the critical academic language (general and technical) that must be addressed in this lesson?
○ Some of the general and technical language the student will gain an
understanding of are the Unit’s vocabulary and general terminology of Organelles and
their composition (i.e. cell walls, mitochondria, cytoplasm, cell membrane, nucleus)
● How does this lesson connect with and build on the previous lesson(s)?
○ This lesson builds upon the general concept that cells are the building blocks
of all living things and are the “pilots” of living things’ functioning.
● How do you expect to build on this lesson in subsequent lessons?:
○ This lesson will be the introduction to more specialized systems, tissues, and
organs- as well as an introduction to the differences in cell functioning depending on the
type of cell and the makeup of the cell.
● Why will you need to plan differentiated activities or assessments?
○ The use of differentiated activities will allow the student to apply the
information in a variety of formats and integrate creativity and critical thinking. This will
also help to maintain the student interest and allow them to apply what they’ve learned
into visual concepts with use of technology and web application.
PROCEDURES AND TIMELINE:

● Introduction: What will you do to help the students become focused or motivated to learn in this
teaching segment?
○ The use of WebQuest and graphic organizers will allow students to explore
their educational creativity and critical thinking skills, rather than testing in the traditional
in-class setting. In doing this, the student will be more motivated in their comprehension
and will be able to be “tested” by the correct completion of an organizer and worksheet,
rather than being tested under pressure in a classroom.
● Procedures: Provide a sequential (step by step) description of the procedures and activities for the
lesson.
Include approximate times with each step of the lesson.
1. Unit instruction: (Approx. 2 days) Teacher will go over unit and do general class
discussions on the plant and animal cell chapters in order to prepare the students with a
general understanding of the chapter and the contents that the assignments will be
centered around.
2. WebQuest: (1 day) Teacher will instruct students on how to use and complete an online
WebQuest on the differences between Plant and Animal cells and their organelles.
3. Worksheet: (1 day) Students will complete the WebQuest corresponding worksheet.
4. Graphic organizer: (1 day) Students will use the Kidspiration application to complete a
graphic organizer on the different parts of cells and which type they fit with.
5. Presentation: (1 day) Students will present their graphic organizers to the class.
● Closure: What do you have planned to close the lesson?

● Students will present their completed graphic organizers with the class and there will be in-
class group discussions on the learned content while sharing why different characteristics of cells
were grouped together by function or by cell-type.
ASSESSMENT EVIDENCE:
● Provide the formative and /or summative assessments that are part of this lesson.
○ The Graphic organizer completed through the Kidspiration application and
the completed worksheet will serve as the assessments for this assignment. Attached is a
copy of the worksheet to be completed after the Webquest and before the start of the
Graphic Organizer in order to contribute to the correctness of the content for the
organizer.
MODIFICATIONS:
● List specific modifications for students who did not master the objectives.
○ Students struggling with use of technology may have the WebQuest either
printed off or condensed into the teacher’s specific needed content for completion, or the
student may be allowed additional time in the computer hub/library. If the school allows
renting of school laptops that may also be available to students to allow them more time to
master objectives.
● List specific modifications for students who are ready for enrichment activities.
○ Students who are prepared for enrichment activities may be given additional
and more advanced information to contribute to their graphic organizer or may be
provided an alternate WebQuest intended for a higher-grade level that may better
challenge their learning and comprehension of the content.
