Activity by Audrey
An activity idea that I could use would be to have the kids research on computers in small groups. Using powerpoint they could make a presentation and become the teachers of the class. Each group would share the information found with the rest of the class and spark more discussion.

materials used
FOR CONTINENT RESEARCH AND ACTIVITY
-30 computers with internet access
-Interactive Smart Board

activity
An activity I could do with my lesson involving the seven continents would definitely involve the use of the smart board. I think we could play a game by putting up one of the continents on the white board and then having to think of important facts about that continent. I think it could be really fun and a great way for the students to express what they've learned about the seven continents.
Activity Idea
An activity idea that I could use with my lesson plan is to have them print out the information that they found about seasons on the internet and in groups make a poster to show how the seasons change and the properties of each. They would need to be creative and have correct information. Afterwards they would present to the rest of the class.

Kristin Burke's Preliminary Lesson Plan Template
Target Audience of the Lesson:
This lesson plan is designed for a fourth grade science class.
Big Idea of Lesson:
The main concepts of this lesson plan are to teach the children about pollution and its effect on the environment, and to make them aware of the various environmental issues cultures are dealing with today. This lesson is also designed to help familiarize students with using the internet as a search engine and for virtual tours.
Overall Goal for the Lesson:
Upon completion of this lesson, students should have an understanding of the various ways humans pollute the world, and what can be done to prevent this pollution. Students should also become more familiar with using the internet to search for information. Students should also understand the basic concepts for taking a virtual tour.
Indiana Content Standards:
Standard 1: Nature of Science and Technology
4.1.7 Discuss and give examples of how technology, such as computers and medicines, has improved the lives of many people, although the benefits are not equally available to all.
4.1.3 Explain that clear communication is an essential part of doing science since it enables scientists to inform others about their work, to expose their ideas to evaluation by other scientists, and to allow scientists to stay informed about scientific discoveries around the world.
4.1.8 Explain how some products and materials are easier to recycle than others.
Standard 2: Scientific Thinking
4.2.6 Support statements with facts found in print and electronic media, identify the sources used, and expect others to do the same.
ISTE CNETS Student Standards Addressed:
1. Basic operations and concepts:
-Students demonstrate a sound understanding of the nature and operation of technology systems.
-Students are proficient in the use of technology.
2. Social, ethical, and human issues:
-Students practice responsible use of technology systems, information, and software.
-Students develop positive attitudes toward technology uses that support lifelong learning, collaboration, personal pursuits, and productivity.
3. Technology productivity tools
-Students use technology tools to enhance learning, increase productivity, and promote creativity.
5. Technology research tools
-Students use technology to locate, evaluate, and collect information from a variety of sources.

Lesson Plan Template by Audrey Farrand
Target Audience of the Lesson:
Second Graders -average size class
Big Idea of the Lesson:
Have them research the interent about wind, observe it outside, discuss as a class, and have a live web cam discussion with a meteorologist.
Overall Goal for the Lesson:
To have the students understand the speed, movement, and directions of wind. Also to have students explore it by researching, discussing and talking to an actualy weather man. Hopefully discussions will also lead to what kind of technology meaasures the wind, etc.
Indiana Content Standards Addressed - Science - Second Grade - Standard 3:
2.3.1 Investigate by observing and then describe that some events in nature have a repeating pattern such as seasons, day and night, and migrations. (Copy and paste entire standard from http://www.indianastandards.org/)
ISTE CNETS Student Standards Addressed (Copy and paste from http://cnets.iste.org/students/)
Technology research tools
Students use technology to locate, evaluate, and collect information from a variety of sources.
Students use technology tools to process data and report results.
Students evaluate and select new information resources and technological innovations based on the appropriateness for specific tasks.
Technology productivity tools
Students use technology tools to enhance learning, increase productivity, and promote creativity.
Students use productivity tools to collaborate in constructing technology-enhanced models, prepare publications, and produce other creative works.
Technology Foundation Standards for Students
Basic operations and concepts
Students demonstrate a sound understanding of the nature and operation of technology systems.
Students are proficient in the use of technology.

W301 Lesson Plan Template
Target Audience of the Lesson:
Second or Third Graders
Big Idea of the Lesson:
To have them work on the computer to do research about the different seasons so they can work in groups and make a small poster in class about one season and then share with the rest of the class the information they each found.
Overall Goal for the Lesson:
To have the whole class understand the rotation of the seasons and what occurs during each. Also have them know when the seasons change.
