Lesson Plan Five Domains: Developmental Domains Cognitive, Motor, Approaches to Learning Activity Name: Color Splash Goals: WMEL Scientific Thinking C.EL.3 Hypothesizes and makes predictions WMEL Health and Physical Development B.EL.2 Exhibits eye-hand coordination, strength, control, and object manipulation WMEL Curiosity, Engagement and Persistence and Scientific Thinking A.EL.1 Displays curiosity, risk-taking and willingness to engage in new experiences C.EL.2 Uses tools to gather information, compare observed objects, and seek answers to questions through active investigation. C.EL.4 Forms explanations based on trial and error, observations, and explorations. Objectives: -The student will be able use prior knowledge of colors and their names and acquired knowledge to make predictions about what colors will be created when mixing colors. -The student will be able to manipulate play dough in order to practice gaining muscle control and to create a new color when manipulating two balls of colors together. -Students will be able to apply acquired knowledge and curiosity through experimenting with multiple types of materials. -Students will be able to construct a science journal as a reflection of their learning and share their findings with the class. Student Assessment: Students will be able to create a sample of a prediction that they make within their journal and I will use a checklist to record their level of activity with the experiment process. For the lesson I will observe and take notes on a rubric of the following students: Bria, Thomas, Wyatt and Iyana Content: Literacy Link: Mouse Paint Prediction: Is when we take a guess of what is going to happen next Blend: To mix two or more things together; to combine Inquiry Materials: Mouse Paint by Ellen Stoll Walsh, Chart paper, Marker, Instructional Strategies: Whole and small group activity, Think and Share Procedures: Introduction (5 minutes): When we look around us do we see a lot of colors or just a few? Have you ever wondered how we get all of those colors? How do you think we get the color orange, what about the

color purple? Chart the answers. When I say go turn to your partner and share how you think we get the color green? Call back with Class class and chart their answers. Sometimes when we have questions we can create a prediction or an idea of what or why something is going to happen or did happen. Demonstration ( minutes):Well, I have a story about how three little mice stumbled upon an answer to the question of how we get some of those other colors. The book is called Mouse Paint by Ellen Stoll Walsh. When we read a story we can make a prediction, and when we read this story I think we will make a prediction or two of our own, and record them on this chart. Start to read the story Mouse Paint and pause at pg. 4 and ask What do you think the mice are going to do next? Chart it and continue reading? Stop on page 8 and ask so the red mouse is having fun dancing in the yellow puddle, what do you think is going to happen with the colors? Chart it? Continue reading. Pause at page 10, where we right? Lets keep reading. Pause at pag. 16 and ask the kids what color do you think the red and blue puddle mixed together are going to make? Chart it. Continue reading and pause at pg 18. Were we right? Continue reading the rest of the book. So now we got a chance to make some predictions, were our answers always right, they may have been, but that is what is ok about making predictions. We may not always know how our predictions will turn out. We take what we know and what we think will happen and make a prediction to see if we can get an answer, sometimes we are right and sometimes we are wrong and that is ok. Closure ( minutes): We have practiced making predictions and reading a story about colors and I think if we look at our chart we may be able to see that we were able to see how mixing red and yellow gave us orange and blue and red gave us purple, those are two of the colors that we see all around us. So now I have an experiment that we can do to see if we can find another color that we see. Mrs. Busch made some blue and yellow play dough for each of you and we are going to blend the two colors together to see what happens, but I think before we do that we need to make think about what we think our blue and yellow play dough will look like when we blend the two together. So when I send you back to your group tables there is a page with a big circle on it, I would like you to color what you think the play dough will look like when you mix the two colors together, then you can start to mix them together and we will see if we are right or not. When you are done I would like you to show us what your play dough looks like by holding it up. You will be able to take the play dough home with you when you are done Questions: How do we get the color orange? Purple? Green? What do you think will happen next? What color do you think the red and blue puddle will make? What do you think our blue and yellow play dough will look like after we blend them together? Adaptations: Hearing: Use classroom audio amplifier Visual: Use large lettering on chart and large book for reading Physical: Students will be encouraged to further manipulate the play dough to get a change that can be seen.
