TW: Review how

humans use sensory
organs in the
environments

TW: Review
vocabulary and how
animals use their
sensory organs.

animals and humans
use their sensory
organs

TW: Review for exam

organisms do not all look
alike. Every part of you
came from one of your
parents

Anticipatory
Set:
.

TW:
Watch a short Discovery
channel video of how a
lion uses his sensory
organs to find and eat its
prey.

We will review key
notes from the book.
We will also watch
another video with how
another animal uses
its organs

Objective

SW: Students will be

able to differentiate and
explain how humans use
all senses to survive in
our environment.

SW Students wicvll be
able to differentiate
and explain how
different animals use
their senses to survive
in their environments

SW: Students will be

able to compare and
contrast how humans
and animals use their
senses to survive in
their environments

SW: Students will be able

to distinguish
characteristics of an
organism between
inherited and acquired
traits.

Direct
Instruction:

TW: I will use

TW: I will use
Powerpoint in
Powerpoint in
collaboration with the
collaboration with the
book to guide instruction

Guided
Practice:

TW & SW:

TW & SW:

Together we will identify

ways that humans use
all of their sensory
organs to act/ react in
our own environments.
Copy down notes

Together we will
identify ways that
animals use all of
their sensory
organs to act/
react in our own
environments.

SW: Students will be able

to demonstrate how
animals/ humans
behaviors are influenced
by signal behaviors

TW: I will recap key

TW: We will review the
notes from the lesson. I lesson key notes
will also discuss how
together.
their behaviors are
influenced by these
signal behaviors

TW & SW:
We are going to create
a Venn diagram to
compare and contrast
animals and humans
sensory organs. Copy
down notes

TW & SW:

NT

I will have 2 volunteers

that are very different.
The class will make a list
of things that make the
two of them different

TW: I will use a

NEARPOD presentation
to present key notes from
the lesson.

TW & SW
We will create a list
of inherited traits
ASSESSME
and another list of
acquired traits. Copy
down notes.

up game. I will make
statements from the text.
Students are to do
thumbs up for true.
Thumbs down for false.
