Moore Magnet Elementary School Unit Plan Template Unit: 2 Jack and the Beanstalk Learning Target: (Essential Question) How do shapes affect the way we build things? Grade Level: Kindergarten Standards: **Science** || **GLE 0007.Inq.1** Observe the world of familiar objects using the senses and tools. **GLE 0007.Inq.2** Ask questions, make logical predictions, plan investigations, and represent data. **GLE 0007.Inq.3** Explain the data from an investigation. **GLE 0007.4.1** Observe how plants and animals change as they grow. **GLE 0007.4.2** Observe that offspring resemble their parents. **GLE 0007.5.1** Compare the basic features of plants and animals. || **Technology/ISTE** || Students demonstrate creative thinking, construct knowledge, and develop innovative products and processes using technology. Students demonstrate a sound understanding of technology concepts, systems, and operations. || **Math** || **GLE 0006.2.1** Count objects in a set and use numbers, including written numerals to 25. (only to 10) **GLE 0006.2.2** Create, represent and recognize a set with a given number of objects. **GLE 0006.4.1** Interpret and describe the physical world with geometric ideas and vocabulary. **GLE 0006.4.2** Use positional terms to specify locations with simple relationships. || **Engineering/Science** || **GLE 0007.T/E.K-2.1** Recognize that both natural materials and human-made tools have specific characteristics that determine their use. **GLE 0007.T/E.2** Apply engineering design and creative thinking to solve practical problems. || **Performance Assessment Project:** **Describe Project** - What will the student do or create to demonstrate knowledge acquired? S tudents will describe the Giant's house using their geometric shapes. The students will use different types of candy to build the giant’s house. They will also identify objects that would be in the house and which objects Jack could hide behind. Kidspiration has a 'house' activity that students can put furniture into. || **Scaffolding** - What are you providing to make students successful? || TTW provide an example for students to view. (house created out of a different material) and demonstrate how to determine whether the house would fit their Jack and Giant character. || **Materials** - What materials will you need to teach this unit? || Candy: Whoppers, caramels, candy corn, tootsie rolls, sweet tarts, Hershey kisses Other Foods: Frosting, wheat thins, saltine crackers, cheez-its, graham crackers, triscuit thin crisp crackers || **Timeline** || 2nd nine weeks || **Rubric** || **Supporting Activities for Unit**- What activities will be done throughout the unit to support the learning? || Students will count/graph objects according to shape. Students will observe/record and explain data how plants change as they grow. Students will use positional terms to relate to objects.
