First Grade, Science

1. Activity:• students will be observing plants in pairs; individually in the students notebook they are to write three sentences on changes that they think occurred to the particular plant. Also the last sentence which will serve as number four will be their written answer to the essential question-What is photosynthesis? This assessment will meet the goals and objectives because it comes right after a kid friendly informative video on photosynthesis which serves as an anchor with the journal writing. Teacher will read each journal entry and respond with feedback during independent/small group time this will also serve as an extension with the lesson because during the short conferences the teacher is able to understand and make a better sense of what the student is trying to convey in his or her journal. Students will then record what they observed and learned.
