m06 Beyond The Basic Prductivity Tools Lesson Idea

Beyond-the-Basic Productivity Tools (BBPT)
Lesson Idea Name: Swings, Slides, and Science

Content Area/Grade Level(s): Science/2nd grade
Content Standard Addressed:
S2P2. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to explain the effect of a force (a push or a
pull) in the movement of an object (changes in speed and direction).
Technology Standard Addressed:
Students use digital media and environments to communicate and work collaboratively, including at
a distance, to support individual learning and contribute to the learning of others.
Guiding Question(s):
What is force and how does it effect the movement of an object?
Selected Technology Tool:
Edpuzzle

Bloom’s Taxonomy Level(s):
☐ Remembering ☐ Understanding ☐ Applying ☒ Analyzing ☒ Evaluating ☒ Creating
Levels of Technology Integration:
☐ Infusion Level: Students may work at a higher Bloom’s Level, but they do not have any “Voice or
Choice” during the activity and most of the decisions are made by the teacher.
☒ Integration Level: We would like to see ALL lessons/activities reach this level. The project is
student-driven and student-led. Students should have “Voice and Choice” in the activities,
selecting the topic of study and determining the technology tool to demonstrate mastery of the
standard. The teacher becomes more of a facilitator.
☐ Expansion Level: The projects created are shared outside of the classroom, publishing student
work and promoting authorship. This could be reached by showcasing the project on the school’s
morning newscast, posting the project to the classroom blog, or publishing via an outside source.
Your student’s projects must be shared locally or globally to meet this level.
Universal Design for Learning (UDL):

The activity that I came up with for my students implements the principles of the Universal Design
for Learning (UDL) framework in many ways. First off, it meets the needs of all students within the
classroom. This tool helps intensify and reinforce the learning experience and what students are to
learn from this activity by giving the students multiple means of engagement, action and expression,
as well as representation. The principle of multiple means of engagement is fulfilled by allowing the
students to choose which way they engage with the lesson and activity. I will give the students the
option to work with one partner or to work on their own. This lesson and activity provide students
with multiple means of action and expression by giving them options in the way they choose to
respond to the questions within the Edpuzzle. They can write the answers on piece of notebook
paper with their name or if they chose to work with a partner, both names are included. They have

the option to also write their answers on the Edpuzzle website. I will be able to see their responses
to the questions through Edpuzzle. The third and final way that they can choose to respond to the
questions is on a personal white board. When they have their answer to each question written, they
will hold up their white board where I can see it to make sure they are getting the answers correct.
This activity provides multiple means of representation as well by giving the students the
opportunity to choose how they view the Edpuzzle video. They can use a laptop, an iPad, or if
needed, I will use the Smart Board to show the entire class at once. By utilizing the UDL framework, I
can give all students the opportunity and resources they need to be successful in their learning
during this lesson and activity.
Lesson idea implementation:

To start off the lesson, I will go over the content standard as well as the technology standard that
will be addressed in this lesson. I will call on a volunteer to read each standard aloud to the rest of
the class. We will then deconstruct the standards to help the students really understand what they
will be learning in the lesson and what they are to accomplish by the end of the lesson. While
deconstructing the standards, I will be sure to use student friendly language to also aid their
understanding. I will then have students read the guiding question for this lesson with me. After the
students have a good understanding of the standards that are going to be addressed and the guiding
question in this lesson, I will address students’ funds of knowledge by asking them what they already
know about forces and motion. I will then use different objects in the classroom to show them
examples of force and motion by pushing and pulling objects. I will push a ruler across the table, and
I will pull a chair out from under the table. After I have shown and explained each example to the
students and they seem to have a good understanding, I will have them transition into either partner
work or individual work time. Each student or pair of students will choose how they want to engage
in the Edpuzzle activity. They will have the options of a laptop, iPad, or me playing it on the Smart
Board. I will use the Smart Board to show the students how to get logged in to Edpuzzle and where
to find the video that I created for them. The students will answer the questions within the Edpuzzle
on notebook paper, on the Edpuzzle website, or on their personal whiteboard. I will then ask the
students to construct their own questions to ask about force and motion based on what they have
learned from the video I created. They will use these questions to create their own video or
presentation.
The student’s learning will be assessed by them answering the questions in the video and as they
work to create their own video or presentation about force and motion. The students’ video or
presentation will serve as the final product in this lesson. This final product will inform the students
because the students will share their video or presentation with the rest of the class. They will have
the opportunity to watch the video or presentation as well as answer the questions that their peers
have constructed based on their knowledge of force and motion. The way in which this activity
promotes differentiation is by having the students use different presentations to advance their
knowledge on the content being covered. After all students have completed their activity, I will ask
the students higher order thinking questions to extend their learning to a higher level. This will be a
whole class discussion to include all students and help all students extend their learning. To conclude
the lesson, I will give each student an index card. On the index card, they will write their name and
one example of a force upon an object. Once I have all index cards, I will read over them to ensure
that the students have a good understanding of force and motion.
Reflective Practice:
TFrazier, 2021
I think that the activity within this lesson idea will have a positive impact on student learning overall.
The reason I think so is because the students are engaging in technology use while also gaining
knowledge about lesson content. One way that I could further extend the learning for this lesson is
by having students walk through the school and identify object that use force on to either push or
pull them. This allows students to apply what they know about force and motion to identify where
we they use force and motion on objects around the school. Other technology tools that could be
used to enhance this lesson and activity are website with educational games that allow students to
engage in that relate to and demonstrate push and pull forces. When looking at this lesson from the
overall view, I think that it will further the students’ knowledge and it will be a fun and interactive
way to further the student’s knowledge about force and motion while using technology.
