Telescopes I. Standards and Common Core:
CT State Standards: Include State Standards, Expected Performances (content only) 9.1 Energy cannot be created or destroyed; however, energy can be converted from one form to another. D 2. Explain how energy is transferred by conduction, convection and radiation. D 3. Describe energy transformations among heat, light, electricity and motion. Next Generation Science Standards: (for now, only include scientific and engineering practices)
CCSS for Math and ELA: (identify the standards that relate to lesson).
Learning Goal(s)/Objective(s): Include procedural and/or declarative goal(s). To measure student achievement, use Blooms Taxonomy or a modified version of Blooms Taxonomy Students will be able to Identify reflector, refractor, gamma, and radio type telescopes. Explain the way in which light is refracted in refractor telescopes. Discuss the pros and cons between reflector, refractor, gamma, and radio type telescopes. III. Lesson Instruction: Include timings for each phase. Use the 5E Learning Cycle for short-term planning. Use the Engage for the Initiation and Evaluate for closure. Embed SCI & ENG Practices to greatest extent possible. Initiation (Engage): Cite how you will engage prior IV. Daily Formative V. Differentiating knowledge. Assessments: Instruction: 5 minutes Show comic of dark matter being viewed Discussion of dark matter. Read caption of the cartoon. through telescope. Have students do 2 minute quick write.
II.
Lesson Development (Explore, Explain, Elaborate): Cite how you will build upon prior knowledge and build each concept(s). 5 minutes Have students complete first section of the anticipation guide. 5 minutes Discussion of what they choose and why? 10 minutes Group read Types of telescopes in the universe hand out from host teacher 5 minutes have students answer second part of anticipation guide Closure (Evaluate): Cite how you will measure, with evidence, if the objectives were met. 10 minutes What did we learn today?
IV. Daily Formative Assessments: Anticipation guide
V. Differentiating Instruction: Stop after each paragraph go over main ideas
IV. Daily Formative Assessments: Discussion
V. Differentiating Instruction: Discussion
VI. Lab Safety: Refer to the strategies you outlined in your Lab Safety Manual.
VII. Teaching Resources and Materials (e.g. technology, lab supplies, etc.) Anticipation guide and reading from host teacher on types of telescopes.
