I. Subject and Grade Level: 4th Grade, Science
II. Topic: Waves
III. Standards:
State:
4-PS4-1. Develop a model of waves to describe patterns in terms of amplitude and wavelength and that waves can cause objects to move.
4-PS4-3. Generate and compare multiple solutions that use patterns to transfer information.
National:
4-PS4-1. Develop a model of waves to describe patterns in terms of amplitude and wavelength and that waves can cause objects to move.
4-PS4-3. Generate and compare multiple solutions that use patterns to transfer information.
IV. Measurable Objectives:
• Given instruction on the parts of the ear, students will be able to identify and label the parts of the ear with 90% accuracy.
• Given a lesson on how sound travels …show more content…
Instruction:
• Read the ears article on Kidshealth.org aloud to students (or click listen button).
• If time allows explore extra activities such as “What’s earwax?” or “What is an ear infection?”
IX. Guided Practice (Activity source: Sun, Gould, and Ji, n.d.):
• Divide students into three groups. Give one group the components to make the outer ear (the pop-up tent and Play-Doh), give another group the middle ear components (empty two liter bottle, toy hammer, drumstick, and triangle), give the final group the components of the inner ear (bin with water, paper plate, jump ropes, and pillow). Use “Diagram of Ear Model and Actual Parts of an Ear” (Sun, Gould, and Ji, n.d.) page to create an ear with these items.
• Walk through the ear model with the students explaining the different parts of the ear and their functions.
X. Independent Practice:
• Pass out “Ear Diagram: Fill in the Blanks” (Sun, Gould, and Ji, n.d.).
• Students will work independently to complete the worksheet.
• Collect completed worksheet to check for understanding and use for evaluation.
XI. Closure:
• During the past five lessons we have learned what waves are and how sound waves make vibrations that travel through our ears so we can hear. What has been your favorite activity or the most interesting thing you have learned during this unit on
