Teaching Strategies and Group Structure


(whole class, small groups or individual)
Engagement and Heat continuum activity
(whole class)
Display heat-related statements on a continuum
and students move to a position on the
continuum they currently feel, giving reasons
why.
Suggest reasons for why students feel different
despite consistent temperatures in the room.
Questioning and discussion (whole class)
Pose questions after book reading:
Why are the animals climbing into the mitten?
How does this help to keep them warm? Are the
mittens hot; is that why it keeps them warm?
How can we find out if a mitten is a source of
heat?
Rotating stations (group activity)
Students rotate to different task stations with
different objects and images. They write and
draw ideas on post-it notes and place post-its on
the object's chart paper.
Keep it open-ended to maintain intent of the
"Engage" phase lesson.
Write/draw what you know about the
object and how it relates to heat
Vocabulary wall/topic board (whole class)
Brainstorm and write down vocabulary
associated with heat
Know/Want to know chart (individual then
compiled as a class chart)
Children write what they know and what they
want to know about their prior experiences and
this lesson's experiences with heat on post-it
notes then place it in appropriate column in class
chart. Discuss some responses:
Why do you think a heater is hot? How does a
jumper keep you warm? When do we need heat?
Why do we need heat?
Differentiation

Find out what students already think they know and


understand. This allows you to take account of students
existing ideas when planning future learning experiences.

heat. Take pictures of these to present later. They
identify and decide whether the objects are
warm, hot, etc.

EXPLORE
