The+Lesson+Plan

=Lesson Plan = =Title: The Five Senses Subject: Science/Human Body Author: Ms. Robinson Grade Level: Kindergarten= =Objectives: The Five Senses are an important concept to fully understand. I will spend this week to introduce the five senses to my students in depth by watching Brain Pop videos on the SMART Board and do in class assignments to expand their knowledge of the subject. By the end of the week, each student should be able to explain the Five Senses and why they are important to us. They will show their knowledge by doing a project/creative book with illustrations and facts about each sense through a written picture book. They will show their knowledge through comprehension and application.= =Materials Needed: Computer and SMART Board for videos and interactive games, coloring pages and crayons for the “eye” assignment, “Brown Bear, Brown Bear” book and audio CD for sight and listening, 4 objects to touch for the feelings sense, 4 objects to smell and 3 objects to taste= =Activities and Procedures:=
 * Monday ** : Sight à Read “Brown Bear, Brown Bear”, a book that uses the sense of sight. We will discuss as a class what each one of us sees in the pictures, like colors, shapes and sizes. We will also watch a Brain Pop Movie on The Five Senses. If you want to review it go to [] and watch the video. As an in class assignment, I handed every student a picture of an eye and they colored it as they perceived their own eye. We placed the pictures on the bulletin board for the week.


 * Tuesday ** : Hearing à To begin the class we will go over a PowerPoint on the SMART BOARD about the Five Senses. To review it again, go to this link [|www.graves.k12.ky.us/powerpoints/elementary/symaperkins.ppt] // . // The PowerPoint required a lot of group participation, discussing the different pictures on the board. Then I played an audio CD of “Brown Bear, Brown Bear”. After the taping we discussed the book again and they said what they heard.


 * Wednesday ** : Smell à We will watch a Brain Pop video on Smell. This can be reviewed at [] . Students will have the opportunity to smell different objects without seeing them and describe what they thought it was. I will put four objects in a container that they couldn’t see into. These four objects are a flower, a newspaper, a piece of pizza, and a box with nothing in it at all. I will pick a handful of volunteers to describe what they smelled and then we will discuss as a class.


 * Thursday ** : Touch à I will have four objects on each group of desks. These four objects are a stuffed animal, a piece of construction paper, a sheet of paper towel and a gooey toy. As a group, the students worked together to write down a description of what each object felt like to them using sensory words. After every group finished I had them watch the Brain Pop video about touch [] and then re-do the first assignment to see if their descriptions changed at all. We then reviewed each table’s thoughts and discussed as a class.


 * Friday ** : Taste à There are different tastes (sour, sweet, salty, crunchy, soft etc). I will give each student 3 foods. One was a sour candy, one was a salty chip and the other was a sweet, crunchy cookie. Each student will have to differentiate between the tastes to determine what one was in their mouth. Another Brain Pop video will be watched as well [].

=Assessment: I will evaluate what my student’s learned through the Student Activities that I have posted on my Wikispace. I will review each child’s assignments and progress and the final project will show me a lot of what they learned. If I feel that they still need more help with the topic, I will spend one more period reviewing everything until they are confident with the material.=
