lass because this is not part of the Next Generation science standards, this will be a
quick over view of the ear. We will then focus our attention on the eardrum. The
eardrum needs to be talked about and compared to something the students
understand. We will talk about how the eardrum sends a rhythmic message to your
brain similar to how a drum keeps the tempo of the song. This way the students
understand that the eardrum creates a pattern to transfer information to the brain (this,
is part of the Next Generation Science Standards}.
IV. With the last few minutes of class the students will have the opportunity to work on.
‘their packets and review the chapter. | wll start by talking about my expectations for
answers. These expectations are:
a. No F44 (Will be completed after next chapter)
b. No F29 (Cross out, we will not do this worksheet at all. Its being replaced with
the Venn diagram)
Vocabulary expectations: when the students are asked to use a word in a sentence
the sentence needs to give the definition of the word. Examples are; “I learned
about vibration” compared to “I can feel sound vibrations”.
d. We will also talk about F30, problems 4 and 5 as a class because these are hard for
students to do on their own.
Accommodations: If students accomplish their worksheets out of the textbook then they can
move onto their Venn diagram. The packet should take the students two days to complete. If
they are done early there are many other things outside of science that the students can work
on,
EFA: n/a
Assessment: The packet will be the assessment of the whole chapter. The students will be
receiving grades for the packet. | will also be checking for understanding throughout the lesson
by asking for thumbs up or down. This will let me know how much more explaining | need to do
if something does not make sense.
