List the learning objectives:

Lesson One Objective (Objective 1): Students will be able to identify and illustrate changes that are due to rapid processes (including landslides, volcanic eruptions, floods, and earthquakes). Lesson Two Objective (Objective 2): The students will describe events as likely, unlikely, impossible, or certain. Lesson Three Objective (Objective 3): By exploring with analog clocks, 3rd grade students will demonstrate how to tell and write time to the nearest minute and measure time intervals in minutes. Lesson Four Objective (Objective 4): Students will learn to identify pushes and pulls as force and how they affect objects. Lesson Five Objective (Objective 5): Students will understand the challenges and conditions that enslaved African Americans faced prior to the Civil War. Explain how the objectives are aligned with local, state, or national standards : Objective 1: This objective aligns with SC Scientific Inquiry Indicator 3-3.8: Illustrate changes in Earths surface that are due to slow processes (including weathering, erosion, and deposition) and changes that are due to rapid processes (including landslides, volcanic eruptions, floods, and earthquakes).My lesson aligns with this indicator because it introduces landslides, volcanic eruptions, floods, and earthquakes through a PowerPoint demonstration. It assesses what students have learned through an oral quiz of the information demonstrated. Objective 2: This objective aligns with SC Standard 3-6: The student will demonstrate through the mathematical processes and understanding of organizing, interpreting, analyzing, and making predictions about data, the benefits of multiple representations of data set, and the basic concepts of probability. It also aligns with SC Math Indicator 3-6.6: Predict on the basis of data whether events are likely, unlikely, certain, or impossible to occur. My lesson aligns with this standard and indicator because it introduces the meaning of the terms unlikely, likely, certain, and impossible through a PowerPoint demonstration. My lesson then requires students to demonstrate their understanding of the material by responding to a particular scenario with one of the terms discussed. Objective 3: This objective aligns with the Nation Math Standard 3.MD.1: Tell and write time to the nearest minute and measure time intervals in minutes. Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of time intervals in minutes, e.g., by representing the problem on a number line diagram. My lesson aligns with this standard because students are required to solve

a perplexing math problem that requires the computation of elapsed time. Students are then asked to figure elapsed time by demonstrating different times on their analog clocks. During this lesson, students will be exploring different strategies for computing the amount of time that has elapsed between two given times. The assessment for this lesson also aligns to this standard in which students will be completing a worksheet that requires computing elapsed time. Objective 4: This objective aligns with SC Science Standard 3-5.3: Explain how the motion of an object is affected by the strength of the push or pull and the mass of the objects. My lesson aligns with this standard in which students will be introduced to the terms push, pull, and force through a short PowerPoint demonstration. Students then explore, through experimentation, the effects that the force of a push or pull has on different objects. Students are experimenting by pushing and pulling balls, toy cars, and pencils. They are recording and discussing their results with one another. During the lesson, they are experimenting to answer their focus question, How do pushes and pulls affect objects? Objective 5: This objective aligns with Reading Standard 3-2: The student will read and comprehend a variety of informational texts in print and nonprint formats. This lesson aligns with this standard in which students are being read two different texts and are asked to comprehend what has been read. They are then asked to fill out a Venn diagram to compare and contrast what they have learned and comprehended from the two texts. This objective also aligns with SC Social Studies Standard 3-4.1: Compare the conditions of daily life for various classes of people in South Carolina, including the elite, the middle class, the lower class, the independent farmers, and the free and the enslaved African Americans. This lesson aligns with this standard because the two texts that are being read involve a personal perspective of an African American slaves daily life. Before and after the lesson, students are asked to record in their Social Studies notebook what they already know and have learned about slavery.

Discuss why your learning objectives are appropriate in terms of development; Pre-requisite knowledge, skills; and other student needs: Objective 1: This objective is appropriate because the students have prior knowledge of slow natural processes. They have also been introduced to volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. Through this lesson, I want the students to be able to identify and understand all of the fast natural processes that occur. This lesson is beneficial for both introducing new material and reviewing what students already know. Objective 2: This objective is appropriate because the students have a basic concept of likely and unlikely. However, they have not been introduced to the terms certain and impossible. After this activity, students should have a strong understanding of all four terms and what they mean in

terms of probability (certain, impossible, likely, and unlikely). This lesson was created with intent to enhance students understanding of probability and the likelihood of scenarios. Objective 3: This objective is developmentally appropriate for the students because the students have a basic concept of telling time. They have been introduced to the terms quarter and half past an hour. They also understand the importance of being able to tell time. However, the students need to review the concept of telling how much time has elapsed over a period. This lesson is beneficial for a reviewing the concept of telling time and as practice for telling elapsed time. Objective 4: This objective is developmentally appropriate because students have prior knowledge of terms such as mass, push, force, and pull. They are able to demonstrate what a push and pull look like. Through this lesson, I want the students to be able to identify the difference between a push and pull and their effect on an object. Objective 5: This objective is developmentally appropriate in which students have been introduced
to Slavery and the lives of slaves before the Civil War. They are able to classify slaves based off of their daily life and different characteristics. However, through this lesson, I will be introducing the life of a slave on a personal level to enhance their understanding. This lesson is also intended to exercise students comprehension skills.
