E Description

Engagement The teacher will begin the lesson on a zoom meeting. *

Active prior knowledge:

The teacher will ask students “Why do we need shade from the sun?” The
teacher will give the students a few seconds to think about it and then begin
taking answers. The teacher then charts down each thing the students are saying
on a white board behind her.

The teacher will then ask students, “What is a tent?” As the students are thinking
about what a tent is, the teacher will pull up examples of tents, in case some
students have not had an opportunity to see what a tent is.

Engagement In your journal, write down one reason you think tents are helpful when
Assessment camping.
After writing in their journal, the teacher will let each student share with the
class why the think tents are helpful.

Exploration The students will watch two videos on Youtube about The Sun. The first video
talks about how the sun effects the earth. The second video talks about ways to
hide from the sun and create a form of shade.
