Hands-on experience
-Math anticipatory set
-Math station work
-Tornado in a Jar
Direct instructions
-Math mini lesson
-Science lesson
Categorizing
-Guided Reading lesson; identifying text features
Multiple Intelligences fostered
Body/Kinesthetic – tornado in a jar
SF – Interpersonal 35%
Strategies Planned
Group experiences and working with others (in tornado science lesson in particular)
Chances to share ideas with other students and present ideas to the class (most closures of
lessons allowed for this; the plant growth science lesson offered many opportunities for
students to make predictions or share their observations.)
NI - Understanding 20%
Strategies Planned
Relating and connecting different ideas
-math and science (area and tornadoes)—(through discussion)
Gaining information through direct instruction and searching the textbook for information.
-guided reading with text features (scavenger hunt)
Chances to work independently in hands-on activities.
-tornado in a jar
-math station work
Comparing and contrasting
-texts with/without text features in reading lesson
-finding area methods (counting vs l x w)
Multiple Intelligences fostered
Intrapersonal – journal writing in science lesson (2); writing lesson
Verbal/Linguistic – science lesson (2) through discussion; writing lesson through
sharing;
NF – Self-expressive 10%
Strategies Planned
Discussion and chance to ask questions during instruction
-Every lesson
Discovery learning
-tornado in a jar activity; plant growth observation; math anticipatory set paired with mini
lesson;
Creating hypotheses
-science lesson (2) predicting and concluding about plant growth
