Instructional Objectives (2-3)
Two- Three Assessed
Instructional Objective(s): The
student will be able to...
1. The students will be able
to match pictures of a
fossil to a physical fossil.
2. The students will be able
to identify the fossil within
the picture.
3. The students will be able
to make the connect that
the picture represents a
real fossil.
One Assessed Developmental
Skill:
The students are cognitively able
to make the connection that the
pictures are a representation of a
real physical object (fossil).
Learning Experience Template
Lesson Title: Fossil Picture Match
Grade Level: Preschool
Assessment of Student Learning
Identify Evidence: (What will you collect or record as data
to demonstrate students have met your objective(s) and
skill?)
-My classmate will take notes and record all of the correct
and incorrect matches that the students make.
Program Monitoring: (How will you aggregate or compile
your evidence into a class or group view?)
-From the data, I will determine and decide whether or not
the majority of the class was able to demonstrate and show
understanding towards the topic. If the majority of my
students seemed to show understanding, then I will be able
to evaluate my lesson and instruction as effective. If there
are a few students who seemed to have struggled
understanding the content, it is my responsibility to adapt my
instruction and find new ways to introduce the content to
these students.

Learning Experience
Academic Language:
-fossils
-picture
-matching
Procedural steps:
1. The teacher will gather all the materials and students.
2. Once the students are gathered, the teacher will
place the pictures in front of the students.
3. After the students are given the pictures, a teacher
will hold up the physical fossil.
4. The students will be expected to find the picture that
represents the fossil the teacher is holding up.
5. Once the students are able to make the correct
match, the teacher will separate the matching picture
and fossil from the remaining materials.
6. After the students successfully match all of the fossils
to the pictures, the activity is completed.
7. Gather materials and clean up activity.

Authentic Materials: (Describe authentic real life, hands-on

materials.)
Safety Considerations:
-Fossils
-Choking hazard: fossils -Pictures of fossils

Adult Roles:

-Explain the activity and expectations to the students

-Hold up the fossils and lead the students in the right direction
of picking out the correct picture that matches the fossil
-Redirect the student if making incorrect matches

Resources & References:

-Fossils from fossil kit that was purchased on amazon

-Images of specific fossils found on google and other websites

Reflection: (What have you learned about your students? How will this inform future instruction?)
