3. Materials
- Skittles candy, worksheets with blank bar graph (from http://www.woojr.com/printable-
graph-paper-and-grid-paper/1-inch-grid-paper/), crayons, and colored pencils; These will be
used because 55% of my students are kinesthetic learners.
Utilize Media, Materials, and Methods
For each listed above, details of how they will be implemented into the lesson to enhance
learning with using 5Ps.
1. Preview the materials: I will preview the selected videos on Brain Pop Junior, to ensure
that each provides the proper information needed to complete the assignment
2. Prepare the materials: I will provide worksheets, colored pencils, crayons, and individual
bags of Skittles candy. I will have my chosen videos in tabs already open in my browser
for quick and easy transition.
3. Prepare the environment: Learning will take place in my classroom. The temperature is
fairly comfortable. Students will be in their original assigned seats. The lighting will
come from the classroom lights and also the natural light from the windows. Natural light
is said to be beneficial for learning environments.
4. Prepare the learners: I will engage the students by asking them their favorite foods.
Students will be eager to raise their hand and share their favorite food. I will also show
the children the Skittles candy and mention that they will serve as treats at the end of the
lesson.
5. Provide the learning experiences: Refer to outline.
Require Learner Participation
This lesson will be approximately 50-60 minutes.
1. For the first 10 minutes, I will be introducing the concept of bar graphs by showing a
video on bar graphs. This video will be a part of todays lesson. This video is approximately
5 minutes long.

- Immediately following the video, I will announce that the students will be constructing their
own bar graphs.
2. For about 10 minutes, I will construct an example bar graph on the smartboard for the
students. Before, I will ask students what they would prefer for lunch; grilled cheese, pizza,
or ham and cheese sandwich. I will tell the students to choose only one option. I will ask
who would prefer grilled cheese and count that many of students with their hand up. Using
that number I will color in the corresponding number of blocks. I will count out loud and ask
the students to join me as I count. I will explain what the colored blocked represent the
number of hands that were raised. I will do the same procedure for pizza and ham & cheese
sandwich. Students should grasp the relationship between the blocks colored and raised
hands. After completing the bar graph I will inform the students that there are 17 students in
the class. I will then ask the class to count the colored blocks to ensure all students
participated.
