Students will jump for height (e.g. vertical wall jump)

Microsoft Works

Students will perform 10 vertical jumps a day over a period of one week; they will keep track of each jump and how high each one was. They will compile this information and use the software to graph their data.

The student will follow the rules of fair play in games and activities (e.g. displaying good sports etiquette by maintaining self –control whether willing or losing)

Microsoft Publisher

The students will create brochures on the rules of fair play and sports etiquette for a sport of their choice.

The student will describe features of the environment that support the growth of familiar animals (e.g. water and insects in a frog’s environment)

Sammy’s Science House

The students go to Acorn Pond in the program. The children can click around and see the different environments that different animals live in.

The students will be able to compile data gathered through investigation in order to record and present results, using tally charts, tables, and labelled graphs produced by hand or with a computer (e.g. record the reactions of different materials when vinegar is dropped on them and use a data table to present their findings)

Word Perfect

After conducting an experiment, the students will use the program to complete a tally chart to present their results.

The student will identify force as a push and pull by one body on another

Encyclopedia of Science – CD ROM

The students will watch a video on wrestling then they will answer the questions asked such as how do the wrestlers exert force on one another.

The students will describe, using their observations, the functions of pulley systems and gear systems.

The Way Things Work

Students will investigate the principles of pulleys, gears and belts and use this information to describe the function of each.

The students will explain the formation of clouds and the effects of different cloud formations on weather and climate.

Students will read the introduction and complete the 6 directions. They will peruse the site to find descriptions of the 3 different clouds.

To share family traditions with members of the class.

Storybook Weaver

The students will write a story about their own family’s traditions.

The student will identify some of Canada’s major trading partners.

The students will research a particular trading partner and create a brochure telling its background, where it is located, what we import or export to them, etc.

Students will identify examples of beat in their environment and in music.

Students will go to the Looney Tunes Song Book and choose a familiar song. They will listen to the selection and try to tap their foot or clap their hand to the beat.

The students will recognize and name the primary colours.

Microsoft Paint

The students will pick different shapes to draw and paint them the appropriate colours, red, blue and yellow.

The students will speak in role as characters in a story, assuming the attitude and gestures of the people they are playing.

Wiggle Works

The students will listen to a story and then act out the story using the above expectation as the criteria.

LESSON PLAN

The students will recognize that different types of graphs can present the same data differently (e.g., a circle graph will show the relationship between the data and a part of the data, a bar graph will show the relationship between separate parts of the data)

The students will construct line graphs, bar graphs, and scatter plots both by hand and by using computer applications.

Microsoft Works

Students will be told to gather data on a topic of their choice, (What is your favourite food? How many people are in your family? Where was your favourite spot to vacation, and so on). They must interview at least 50 people. This information must be collected the day before going to the computer lab.

Once in the lab the students will be instructed to go into Microsoft Works and using their data collected the day before, they are to create a tally chart and three different types of graphs. The three graphs must represent the same data on the same topic. Two of the graphs must be a bar graph and a line graph, the third can be their choice. The graphs must be labelled appropraiately.

This lesson can be modified by asking the student to interview less people and only creating one graph. The other way you can modify the lesson is by pairing the students up and having the stronger student help them input the data and read the instructions on the computer to them. Also helping them to get from the spread sheets to the graphing.

Microsoft Works is a very user friendly program, you could use this lesson in all aspects of the curriculum. You could have them graph their pulse rate in gym, you could have them tally and graph results from a science expirement. You could also have them create graphs using more than one attribute, (e.g. favourite food and movie). There are several ways to extend this lesson and the program lends itself well for cross-curricular activities.

Students will be given a level based on their completion of the activity and fulfullment of the expectations.

Level 4 – The student independently and with practically no minor errors and/or omissions completed the graphs and tally charts.

Level 3 – The student independently and with few minor errors and/or omissions completed the graphs and tally charts.

Level 2 – The student, with limited assistance and with several minor errors and/or completed the graphs and tally charts

Level 1 – The student required a lot of assistance and made major errors and/or omissions in trying to complete the graphs and tally charts.
