Lesson Idea Name: Life Cycles

Grade Level/Content Area: 2nd Grade Science

Content Standard Addressed: S2L1. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about life cycles
of different living organisms.
a. Ask questions to determine the sequence of the life cycle of common animals in your area: a
mammal such as a cat, dog or classroom pet, a bird such as a chicken, an amphibian such as a
frog, and an insect such as a butterfly.

conclusions.

What is the student learning goal(s) for this lesson idea? 

The students will be able to understand life cycles and their importance to animals. They will be able
to dive deeper into their thinking and not just know what is on the surface.

How do you plan to implement this lesson and integrate the technology? Check all that apply: 
 
☐ Teacher-led: There is no student voice and choice in the activities. Students are guided by
teacher direction and expectations. Learning activities are assigned to the
student and mostly practice based. 
    
☐ Student-Led: Students are given voice and choice in the activities. They may select the topic
of learning and/or determine the tool they will use to meet the learning goal. The
teacher facilitates the learning as the students direct their own learning processes. 
 
X Problem-based and/or Publishable: Students are solving problems
and completing projects to demonstrate their learning. Additionally, the projects can be shared
outside of the classroom. (Note: This objective could be reached by displaying the project on the
school’s morning newscast, posting the project to the classroom blog, presenting it to another
class, or publishing via an outside source.)

 Web 2.0 Tools for Communication and Collaboration

Lesson idea implementation: The teacher will made a Padlet for the students to go over, to reinsure
the information that was just covered. The Padlet will ask them questions and show a fun video for
them to watch. The kids get to respond to the questions and make the lesson fun.
Managing student learning: The tools in this lesson will require collaboration and communications
The Padlet has dun questions and a video. The questions will get the students thinking about what
they have learned previously, the video will just cover the information one more time in a different
format.
Universal Design for Learning (UDL): Every student in the classroom has a fair opportunity to answer
the questions on their own. The shy kids can shine because they do not have to talk. The kids who
like it quite in the room when thinking can be accommodated. The kids who are hands on, this is
prefect for them. The students who like to shine, can win and shine. Everyone can shine here.
Reflective Practice: Showing the students this tool will show them that learning can be more then
just a teacher at the front of the room lecturing while they take notes. This tool will show them that
learning can be fun and interactive. They need to know that sometimes they will have to dive deeper
into their own learning and not just know what is on the surface.
