TRANSCRIPT
Godley Station SchoolLesson Plan
Teacher: R. Pacheco Subject: 6th, 7th, 8th Grade Science Dates: Sept. 8-11, 2015Standards & Elements Habits of Mind
S6CS1. Students will explore the importance of curiosity, honesty, openness, and skepticism in science and will exhibit these traits in their own efforts to understand how the world works.
S6CS3. Students will use computation and estimation skills necessary for analyzing data and following scientific explanations.S6CS5. Students will use the ideas of system, model, change, and scale in exploring scientific and technological matters.
6th: S6E5. Students will investigate the scientific view of how the earth’s surface is formed. a. Compare and contrast the Earth’s crust, mantle, and core including temperature, density, and composition. b. Investigate the contribution of minerals to rock composition. c. Classify rocks by their process of formation. d. Describe processes that change rocks and the surface of the earth. e. Recognize that lithospheric plates constantly move and cause major geological events on the earth’s surface.f. Explain the effects of physical processes (plate tectonics, erosion, deposition, volcanic eruption, gravity) on geological features including oceans
(composition, currents, and tides). g. Describe how fossils show evidence of the changing surface and climate of the Earth. h. Describe soil as consisting of weathered rocks and decomposed organic material. i. Explain the effects of human activity on the erosion of the earth’s surface. j. Describe methods for conserving natural resources such as water, soil, and air.
7th: S7L2: Students will describe the structure and function of cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems. a. Explain that cells take in nutrients in order to grow and divide and to make needed materials. b. Relate cell structures (cell membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm, chloroplasts, and mitochondria) to basic cell functions. c. Explain that cells are organized into tissues, tissues into organs, organs into systems, and systems into organisms.
8th: S8P1 Students will examine the scientific view of the nature of matter. a. Distinguish between atoms and molecules. b. Describe the difference between pure substances (elements and compounds) and mixtures. c. Describe the movement of particles in solids, liquids, gases, and plasma states. d. Distinguish between physical and chemical properties of matter as physical (i.e. density, melting point, boiling point) or chemical (reactivity,
combustibility). e. Distinguish between changes in matter as physical (i.e. physical change) or chemical (development of a gas, formation of precipitate, and change in color). f. Recognize that there are more than 100 elements and some have similar properties as shown on the Periodic Table of Elements. g. Identify and demonstrate the Law of Conservation of Matter.
Enduring Understanding (Big Idea)—Real world connection
6th: Many materials used by people come from rocks and minerals. Rocks are classified based on how they formed and their mineral composition. Sedimentary rocks are formed by the ongoing deposition of rocks and other sediments that are cemented together. Fossils, the remains of organisms preserved in sedimentary rocks, are part of the evidence scientists use to infer changing conditions at the Earth’s surface through time Rocks at the Earth’s surface weather, forming sediments that are buried, then compacted, heated, and often recrystallized into new rock.
7th: Cells take in nutrients to grow, divide, and make needed materials. �Cell structure is related to cell function. (Teacher Note: cell membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm, mitochondria, chloroplasts) �Cell parts are interdependent. �Levels of cellular organization (cells → tissue → organs → systems → organism)
1
8th: 1. Matter can neither be created nor destroyed but can be changed from one form to another. 2. Matter can be described by its physical and chemical properties.3. Chemical elements possess their own characteristic properties, (density, boiling point, melting point, solubility, etc.) and these properties are used to distinguish one element from another. 4. Compounds are made of two or more kinds of atoms held together chemically (bonded). 5. Mixtures are formed when elements and/or compounds are combined physically. 6. Energy is involved in chemical and physical changes. 7. We get energy from the compounds that make up our food. 8. Energy is neither created nor destroyed but can be transformed. 9. As the energy of particles changes, their movement changes and the phase in which matter is present might change. 10. Energy can be transferred by radiation, conduction, and convection.
Vocabulary (Word Wall) 6th: Sedimentary, igneous, metamorphic, rock composition, mineral formation, pressure, rock cycle
7th: cell, organelles, cell membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm, chloroplast, mitochondria, nutrients, tissue, organism
8th: Atoms, molecules, pure substances, elements, compounds, mixtures, solid state, liquids state, gas state, plasma state, physical property, chemical property, physical changes, chemical changes, conservation of matter, conservation of energy, heat flow, conduction, radiation, convection, reactivity, combustibility, precipitate, potential energy, and kinetic energy.

The Mystery Fossil Bones Activity This was one of my favorites. I often used this as a culminating activity for my Geo. History Unit. Students from 9th - 12th loved it. And I’m sure middle school students would, too! I’ve seen it all over the Internet and had a copy 20 years ago so I have no idea who the actual image of the bones belongs to. This is where I found the bone images this time:

MATERIALS: A copy of the Labsheet for every student; one copy of the bones for each group, scissors, colored pencils, poster-sided paper, glue. DIRECTIONS: 1. Hand out labsheet and bones to each group. Ask the groups to study the bones and start thinking about how it could be put together. 2. Pass out scissors. Have everyone in the group help cut out the bones. Some one can cut the bones into a few for each group member. 3. Once the bones are cut out, the group starts to assemble the bones on the table top. Encourage discussion of alternate ways to arrange the bones. 4. Once they have agreed on an arrangement, they should glue them onto a large piece of paper. They will be

combinations of elements. The Living Periodic Table will allow students to learn about elements, how they are grouped on the Periodic Table, and how elements combine to form everything in the world. The living table project is interactive and informative with the student designed T-shirts. Students research their assigned element to identify properties of the element. The information gathered is written on the Element Search page. These pages are used to assemble a large Periodic Table for the hallway. The element symbol will be stenciled on the front of the shirt. The atomic number and name of element are painted on the back of the T-Shirt in “jersey” format. Metals, Nonmetals, and Metalloids will be distinguished by using three different colors of shirts. Metals will be yellow, Nonmetals will be blue, and Metalloids will be green since metalloids have characteristics of both metals and nonmetals.
I use Black for metal, white for nonmetal, and gray for the metalloids to represent the fact that metalloids possess characteristics from both metals and nonmetals. If specific sizes are preferred, assign elements to students prior to placing order so size and color are correct.

drawing around this so be sure there is extra room on the paper. 5. The next step is to draw around the bones and try to reconstruct the body of the animal. 6. They should also sketch the animal on their labsheet, adding fur or scales or skin, whatever they’ve decided as a group. 7. Then they can work on the Summary Questions. 8. Finally, have each group share with the whole class what they figured the creature to be, and see how many were the same, and how many different interpretations were made.
7th: Introduction to the Body SystemsVideo/song/PowerPoint
8th: Objectives 1) Students will learn about uses of elements. 2) Students will decorate their T-shirt with element symbol, name, and atomic number.
A painting station will be set up where four to six students will paint the front of their T-shirts with the symbol for their element. Write student name on label or collar of shirt. Don’t forget to use cardboard inside the shirt to prevent paint bleeding through to the back.
String clothesline around classroom to hang shirts to dry. A thin coat of the acrylic paint will dry in a few hours. Fold

and stack shirts by class.
Report to paint station to paint the name of their element and atomic number on the back of the T-shirt. Hang to dry.
Be sure to take pictures for your school and local newspaper. Find a large enough area on your campus close to “Roof Access” to get the best photo. Measure and mark enough guidelines to make lining up students a bit easier.
Remind students to hold on to their shirts for other events such as field trips

Create a FossilBACKGROUND INFORMATION Fossils are the direct evidence of past life. They are the tools around which geologists and paleontologists reconstruct the history of the earth. They are found in sedimentary rocks. This type of rock is the result of the consolidation of sediment that has accumulated in layers. These depositional environments come from lake bottoms, river bottoms, river sandbars, beaches, and oceans. Some sediments result from weathering rocks, others originate from tissues and bones of plants and animals. It is within the depositional environment that plants and animals may become fossilized. There are three prerequisites that must be met

before organic material can be preserved: (1) Organisms must contain hard parts such as bones, teeth, cartilage, or shells. (2) The organic material must be buried quickly in an oxygen-free environment protected from scavengers. (3) Conditions after burial must be favorable as the effects of heat and pressure that produce sedimentary rock may alter the composition and appearance of a potential fossil.

(2) The organic material must be buried quickly in an oxygen-free environment protected from scavengers. (3) Conditions after burial must be favorable as the effects of heat and pressure that produce sedimentary rock may alter the composition and appearance of a potential fossil.

8th: Objectives 1) Students will learn about uses of elements. 2) Students will decorate their T-shirt with element symbol, name, and atomic number.
A painting station will be set up where four to six students will paint the front of their T-shirts with the symbol for their element. Write student name on label or collar of shirt. Don’t forget to use cardboard inside the shirt to prevent paint bleeding through to the back.
String clothesline around classroom to hang shirts to dry. A thin coat of the acrylic paint will dry in a few hours. Fold and stack shirts by class.
Report to paint station to paint the name of their element and atomic number on the back of the T-shirt. Hang to dry.

colors of shirts. Metals will be yellow, Nonmetals will be blue, and Metalloids will be green since metalloids have characteristics of both metals and nonmetals.
I use Black for metal, white for nonmetal, and gray for the metalloids to represent the fact that metalloids possess characteristics from both metals and nonmetals. If specific sizes are preferred, assign elements to students prior to placing order so size and color are correct.

Be sure to take pictures for your school and local newspaper. Find a large enough area on your campus close to “Roof Access” to get the best photo. Measure and mark enough guidelines to make lining up students a bit easier.
Remind students to hold on to their shirts for other events such as field trips

Describe how differentiation is addressed throughout the lesson sequence: Whole group instruction Flexible small groups Peers One-on-One Research Cooperative Learning Groups Jigsaw Strategy
Differentiation will be provided in accordance with the student’s individual contract. Differentiations for the current standards include cooperative learning groups, differentiated questioning, and flexible small groups.
Accommodations/Modifications (list student initials after each specific accommodation and modification) Curriculum compacting techniques Negotiate learning contract for independent project Implement two center activities from which students can choose to do instead of the whole group Use multiple text and supplemental materials when developing center activities Alternative activities oriented to individual intelligence profiles through chunking
