Finland Inspired Unit

After reviewing everything I had seen, experienced and learned in Finland I decided that
the best way to synthesize the educational philosophies I saw would be student focused learning.
Because of that I felt the best way to try and apply those skills to a U.S. classroom would be to
create a unit that could be completely customizable to the students in your classroom. Below is
an overview of my lessons. I have tried to connect my unit to most major subjects to show how
to differentiate in a variety subject areas. As well as incorporate a lot of integration between
subjects which was a pattern common in Finnish classes I visited and that I read about. I also
focused on experiential lessons and making things as hands on as possible. Throughout each
learning guide I have written in footnotes to explain my reasoning and to give options of how to
customise the lesson to each classroom.

Student Role: Gains interest, calls upon prior knowledge, develops a need to know,
identifies a problem to solve
Explore/Do: (10 minutes)
Hand each group a bag of each type of soil. Have them do a quick sketch3 of the
soils.
Have them look closely at each type of soil and make observations about what
types of materials make up the soil, is it more rocks? more plants?
Have them draw another sketch of what order they think the layers would be if
they were still in the ground. Make sure they also write their reasoning for it did their
observations from the previous question help them pick the order?

topsoil- the fertile upper part of the soil. The closest to the surface
soil.
subsoil- the bed of earth or earthy material immediately under the
surface soil.
bedrock- the bottom most layer of soil, the solid rock base.
See if the students can predict where plants grow best and let this lead to a brief
discussion of how they came to that conclusion.
1 You can pair the students up in groups based on similar ability or different in order to get the best
results from your class.

and those places have influenced where people live now.
Key Vocabulary:
sagebrush, pinyon pine, Utah juniper, spruce, fir, oak brush, quaking aspen, cottonwood, cattail,
bulrush, prickly pear cactus
Materials:
Pictures / plants (online or in person) of the vocabulary words

Pictures / examples of crops the early settlers grew
Topographic map of Utah
Science journals
Projector / doc cam
A large outline of the state of utah on the floor made out of tape
Background information
This lesson is part of a unit that comes after the students have learned about the three
landforms of Utah (Uintah Basin, Rocky Mountains and the Colorado Plateau).
Have students get out of their seats and create a living map of Utah (from
previous unit attached on page 19)6
Have them take their seats and do a think pair share within their tables of what are
some characteristics of the different landforms.
Bring the class back together and share out brief definitions of the different
landforms.
Ask if any of them have heard the phrase, this is the place before. Talk about
how when the pioneers first came here they looked out over the valley and decided they
wanted to settle here. Make sure to show on them where the pioneers came in and relate it
to the landforms so they know where you are talking about.
explore phase
Explore/Do: (30 minutes)7
Ask the students why they may have wanted to settle in the valley?
Project a topographical map of Utah on the board
Once they have been reminded of the different landforms and the idea that a
landscape was so powerful to make people stop wanting to move have the students talk
within their tables and go over where they would want to live in our state if they could
pick anywhere.
1. Make sure they have at least three reasons why and have them
write these in their journals
2. Also make sure at least one of those reasons has something to do
with the landforms/environment
3. Once they have talked to their groups and written their reasons
have them go to the large map and stand where they would like to live.
6 To engage the students kinesthetic mind and to give them a chance to move. Students in Finland get
hours more recess and free time within a week and many of the teachers credit that for why their students
are so engaged in their lessons, are good students and are happy to come to school. Building this
movement time into everyday lessons in our classrooms could create the idea of a fun and creative
learning environment which was considered invaluable in Finland.
7 This part could also be done in centers:

The work with the topographic map and large floor map
Guessing which landform and region the plants belong to
Guessing which crops prefer which area
Bring the class back together and discuss why they choose where they did8. Tie it
into the plants and different types of crops you may be able to grow in the different areas.
1. For example:
if they say they like the valley because they are
close to the water ask what they could use the water for?
If they say they want to be in the desert because it is
warm ask if they think it would be a good place to grown food because of
the sun
Pull out the pictures of the different plants of utah and ask if the students think
they can guess what area they may come from. Hand out plants/pictures to each group
and have them write which region they come from and why9.
Switch the pictures out with photos/examples of crops the early settlers planted
and grew and repeat the activity.
Gather the class10 for a discussion about their findings go over similarities and
differences.
Explain:
How some plants prefer different climates
How some plants prefer different amounts of light
8 Bringing in the kids personal connections and preferences is a way to connect and let their comments
direct the lesson while still staying on topic. This lets you differentiate based on interest and get to know
your students better.
9 Students can be asked to write one copy per group or individually and they may also be given the
option of drawing a picture in their science journal.
10 You can also have students do a think pair share, or have each group present their observations to the
class.
have students write why they think the settlers choose what is now the Salt Lake
Valley to settle using at least one reason having to do with plants and one reason having
to do with landscape
Have them also write down which of all the different types of plants they looked
at were their favorites (pick 3)
explanations
Evaluate/Assess: (ongoing)
Use the activity they did in extend as an exit ticket
Look over the writings from throughout the lesson and double check that they
were keeping up11.

ideas and information clearly.
Speaking and Listening Standard 4
Report on a topic or text, tell a story, or recount an experience in an
organized manner, using appropriate facts and relevant, descriptive details to
support main ideas or themes; speak clearly at an understandable pace.
Specific Lesson Objective: Students will be able to communicate facts and information about
native plants and where they grow in Utah
Lesson Purpose: For students to gain an understanding of a native plant(s) and communicate
those ideas
Vocabulary Focus:
sagebrush, pinyon pine, Utah juniper, spruce, fir, oak brush, quaking aspen,
cottonwood, cattail, bulrush, prickly pear cactus
Materials:
Access to youtube
Science journals
Books about the native plants
Pictures of the vocabulary words (or Red Butte Gradens has a box that you can
check out with most of these plants dried in frames that the students can look at with
facts)

Review the different plants that you first heard about last class. Also talk about
what you know it takes to grow things
explore phase
Explore/Do: (15-20 minutes)
Have the students get into groups and look over pictures to place them into where
they think they would be found13.
Once they have done that assign each group 1 or 2 of the native plants to research.
They will record their findings in their science journals they should include:
A sketch of the plant(s)
Where they are found
How much sun it likes (if they can)
How much water it likes (if they can)
Some of the basic characteristics so it can easily be identified
The students will have to present these ideas to the class14 so they will need to
work within their groups to create posters to share with the rest of the class.
Explain/Summarize: (10-15 minutes)
Have the kids come together to present their information about their plants.
Make any corrections as needed and make sure to allow time for
questions from their peers
13 This is similar to the last lesson so dont spend much time on it but it allows you the chance to see
how much they remember as well as give you a jumping off point to start the lesson.
14 Or they can present as individuals to part of the class so everyone finds the information but isnt
worried about the large group or this helps if you are pressed with time.
11
Once they have presented have the students group the plants based on region
where they are found.15
See what kinds of similarities there are between plants that grow in the same
region not only based on the information but also based on the description and
observations about the plants.
Ask the students to explain where they would place the different kinds of plants if
you were to grow them at school.
For example
Desert plants may do well near a classroom window
where they get lots of sun and not rain
Forest plants may do better outside but near the
school, this way they get shade from the school but more moisture
Throughout the lesson assess how students are working within small groups and
do a quick checklist as the present that they met all the qualifications.
Their homework would be to do a short write up on the plant as if to an alien who
couldnt see it. Thus making them explain the look as much as where to find it.

Book: The Vegetables We Eat by Gail Gibbons
Pictures of the vegetables talked about in the book and large chart paper (one set
per group)
Before the Lesson: Go over expectations for working in groups and review classroom rules if
needed.
Phase I (5 minutes):
I will assess prior knowledge by asking if they know why it is important to eat
fruits and vegetables? If they have a garden at their home or if they are a part of a
community garden.
Relate to the reasons they have a garden, check in and see if they
grow foods see if they eat food that they or someone they know grows
Ask if they feel different when they eat more fruits and vegetables
than when they dont?
Introduce vocabulary words relating to fruits and vegetables, their vitamins and
sun preferences yet
Transition to Phase II:
Have students get out their science journal and do a quick think pair share to
review what they learned in the last lesson about plants having different preferences to
grow best.
Read the book asking questions along the way, make sure you pick excerpts to
read it can be hard to read cover to cover but the information is worth it
14
Ask about meals the kids have had with these food
When she talks about where foods like to grow relate it back to
where they could grow around your school
Phase II (20 minutes):
Have students get into groups. Give each group a piece of large chart paper
already separated into multiple sections16. The picture below shows one way to organize
the students papers.
Label the categories based on light needed, growing season and what types of
health benefits and vitamins they contain.
Give the students a map of the school and go through together17 and draw in
where gets full sun where gets partial using the symbols commonly used on plants (image
below)
Transition to phase III:

Explain final project and go over expectations for group work as needed.
Phase III (20 minutes):
16 You can have this done or let students do it themselves. Also you can organize it like shown in the
picture or a venn diagram style. You can also give students photos of the plants and vegetables or you
can have them write the name in the category depending on your kids.
17 You can have students guess where each symbol would go first or go through as a whole class
15
Have the students work in groups18 to come up with where they would plant the
vegetables on the school grounds. Their plans should include
Include at least 519 of the plants we talked about today
drawing in flower beds
Drawing and labeling what plant goes where
The reasons for planting them where they are
The sun levels in each location on the map
At least 1 health benefit of the plant they picked
Make sure the students know the material and feel comfortable to present their
garden proposals at the beginning of next class

Explain that as a class you will be voting on a plan for a school/classroom garden.
You can either pick one group's idea or take parts of multiple proposals and combine
them to create the final project.
Have the students get back into their groups from last lesson and quickly review
their classroom garden proposals
Have the groups present their proposals and ask questions assessing their
knowledge.

How much soil is needed21
What types of plants would grow best in the light in the area they
are assigned
All of the types of plants that could grow in that area both
vegetables, fruits and native Utah plants talked about in lesson #2
Have the groups present to each other to help answer any questions or isseues the
groups have run into
Go over any questions they might have

Day 1:
Have each group create a supply list including how much wood they would need
(perimeter)
Have final plans which include labeled pictures, and supply list on graph paper
Day 2:
Go over safety rules when using tools22
Have groups work with the volunteer adult to build and fill their raised beds.
Have them take pictures along the way and draw diagrams of what they are doing
in their science journals
Plant the boxes and have them record what plants they planted and their initial
size, this will be an ongoing table that they will record the measurement, and growth
every week. Measurements will need to be recorded in their journals in metric units so
students will need to convert measurements as they go.23
explanations
Assess their presentations
Look over their proposed plans for their box make sure you can see work from
each student shown on this paper
Have students leave their journals so you can look over their tables, drawings and
work for all the problems
If you can have the each class put together a final presentation for the school to
explain the rules of the school garden, what is planted and how students from other
classes can get involved.
22 I believe letting the kids build what they have created helps solidify the concepts however I understand
this can be unrealistic for some students or some schools and their policies.
23 Students can be assigned one plant or a few in their box depending on their skill level.

Dance and Landforms (from a previous unit)24
Grade Level: Fourth
Curriculum: social studies and dance
Core Objectives:
Social Studies
Standard 1
Objective 1 - Classify major physical geographic
attributes of Utah.
Dance
Standard 3
Objective 1 - Explore the process of making a
dance.
Standard 4
Objective 3 - Make connections between dance
and other disciplines.
Time: 45-60 minutes

Personal Objectives: Students will be able to identify the three major landforms that make up
Utah
Essential Questions: Why is it important to know the landforms that make up your state?
Key Vocabulary:
Landform, Rocky Mountains, Great Basin, Colorado Plateau
Materials:
Pictures (online or in person) of the rocky mountains, great basin and colorado
plateau
Smart board (to pull up picture and write on it)
Each student should get a copy of the blank map of the state at the end of this plan
24 I actually taught this lesson in a fourth grade class last semester as one of my observed lessons. The
only thing I have modified since was I made it more dance based by adding the element of creating your
own dance. I did this in order to help kids get more attached to the movements and hopefully cement the
concepts into their brains. I also thought creating a dance would make it a fun way for them to get out
some energy in between class periods when we have a few minutes down time or a quick indoor recess
idea. Which is also why I want to use it to be part of the engage in lesson 2 of the current unit.
20
A hard copy of the map with boundaries for your reference

Before the Lesson: Go over expectations for the assignment. Explain that at points they will be
asked to get up and interact with each other and they will need to be respectful.
Phase I:
I will assess prior knowledge by talking to them about what they think a landform
is and asking questions like:
When you fly into Utah what are some big landmarks/landforms
you see?
How do you think those landforms connect to what weve been
talking about in science? (ie wetlands, deserts and forests)
Use their ideas and answers to introduce vocabulary. Show pictures of the new
vocabulary words.
Now some of you said we have the mountains, does anyone know
what mountain range we are a part of?
plateau- a land area having a relatively level surface considerably
raised above adjoining land on at least one side, and often cut by deep canyons.
basin - a hollow or depression in the earth's surface, wholly or
partly surrounded by higher land
Transition to Phase II:
Get the kids into groups of 5-8 and spread them throughout the classroom
Phase II:
Have each group of kids come up with some sort of physical shape as a team to
represent each of the landforms.
give them a chance to show each group what they came up with
while they are doing this mark out the sate on the floor using paper or tape just to
show corners. This doesnt have to be the full outline.
Have the students take a seat and show them where these landforms meet on a
map of the state.
have the kids come together again in their groups and have them act as the three
landforms in the large map that you laid out on the floor.
Transition to phase III:
Explain that activity
Phase III:
The Activity:
have each group create a dance using any of the movements from
21
their group or another to represent the different landforms.

they will have to represent where the landform is seen in the state
so they can use the large map you made on the floor out of tape.
They can also include animals you might find in those areas or
activities you may do. but they MUST include the three landforms in the correct
locations on the map.
After each group shows there dance to the others each student will be given a
blank map that they will be asked to draw in the boundaries of the landforms in. This will
serve as an exit ticket
*To extend this we could use teaching the dances to the other groups as a warm up for P.E or as a
quick 5 minute down time activity
