Grade Level/Content Area: 2nd grade/ Life Science

Content Standard Addressed: S2L1. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about the life
cycles of different living organisms.
d. Develop models to illustrate the unique and diverse life cycles of organisms other than humans.
ISTE Technology Standard Addressed:  What would you like students to know and be
able to do by the end of this lesson:

informs and improves their practice and to
demonstrate their learning in a variety of ways..

What is the student learning goal(s) for this lesson idea?

Students: I will draw and explain the life cycle of a butterfly. I will discribel the life cycle of a
butterfly.

apply: (Sometimes only one option will apply.) 
 
☐ Teacher-led: There is no student voice and choice in the activities. Students are guided by
teacher direction and expectations. Learning activities are assigned to the
student and mostly practice based. 
    
✔️Student-Led: Students are given voice and choice in the activities. They may select the topic
of learning and/or determine the tool they will use to meet the learning goal. The
teacher facilitates the learning as the students direct their own learning processes. 
 
☐ Problem-based and/or Publishable: Students are solving problems
and completing projects to demonstrate their learning. Additionally, the projects can be shared
outside of the classroom. (Note: This objective could be reached by displaying the project on the
school’s morning newscast, posting the project to the classroom blog, presenting it to another

class, or publishing via an outside source.) 

Lesson idea implementation: Students will start by answering the question: Do you think butterflies
grow like you do? This question will get them thinking about the process of growth and the life cycle.
Then students will watch a video to get a basic information over the topic. students then will answer
the question over the video. Students will have practice oganizing the life cycle of a butterfly. Then
students will draw on part of the life cycle. To asses students learning they will do a Kahoot.
Students will 80% will successful complete this assignment. Students will be on a time schedule, if
not completed in class they will have the opportunity to complete it at home.

Managing student learning: Students will have 5-10 minutes on each response. They will have time-
limits on each section to keep them on task. The timer will be set on the board for all to view.
Universal Design for Learning (UDL):
Students will have different representations of materials. They will have a video and game to explore
the life cycle of a butterfly.
Students will preform different action to explore the life cycle of a butterfly this is helpful inorder for
them to explain and understand this concept.

Reflective Practice:
Using 2.0 tools for communication and collaboration gives students multiple ways to explore a
concept. Ths is great for students because it gives them multiple ways to explore and grasp the
concept. Students also have many ways to explain and explain their knowledge over what they have
learned.
I look forward to seeing the different drawings and ways students describe the life cycle of a
butterfly. Giving students multiple ways of explaining helps those students that have trouble with
one way to shine on the other.
