Session 6 - Collaborative learning
SCIENCE
5TH GRADE (10-11 YEARS OLD)
2 hours
In this session, we are going to do a cooperative task. We are going to classify and search the
characteristics of animals
First, we are going to introduce the topic of classification watching two short videos on youtube.
After that, we have to create groups of 4 randomly. One strategy to make groups is moving
around the class and say something to make groups.
In each group of 4, two of them are going to watch video 1 and the others video 2.
After watching it with subtitles they will have to explain to the other part of the same group what
have been watching. They will arrive to the conclusion that videos are similar.
After the video, we are going to classify animals

• Nutrition.
• Structure
• Breathing
• Reproduction
Each member of group should decide which topic wants to investigate, then we are going to
create expert groups. The members who have decided find information about nutrition will go
together.

In each ‘expert group’, they are going to search information about that and create a mind map
only with their classification.

When they have finished, they will go back with their group and should explain what have
learned about the topic. The other members of the group will evaluate him using a rubric.

After the explanations. The group should create a map mind with all the information.

Finally, using prezi each will search information about the characteristics of one animal
explaining the main characteristics. The other groups will have to guess which animal is.

They are going to learn:
How to work in a collaborative way.
How to explain something you have watched.
Evaluate other members using a rubric.
How to create a mind map using bubbl
How to create a presentation using prezi
In terms of language, they are going to practice some structures to give and explanation.
In mind maps and prezi, they will create sentences using: ALWAYS, USUALLY, OFTEN,
SOMETIMES, NEVER.
The lesson plan includes use of ICT, cooperation task, rubric, talk in public and explanation
about what have seen. The strategies are random groups, motivate students about information
they want to search, assessment using rubrics, cooperation tasks, freedom to choose one animal

We are going to create groups of four using a dynamic activity. After that, we have to divide
each group in pairs.

Each pair have to watch video 1 and video 2 on youtube and answer the questions. After that
they have to discuss with the other pair what have watched.

When they had finised their mapmind they will have to create a PREZI and give some
characteristics about one animal, but they cannot tell which animal is. The other groups have
