OSPI:
Math
2.2.E Estimate sums and differences.
Science
2-3 APPD - Tools help scientists see more,
measure more accurately, and do things that
they could not otherwise accomplish.
The student will create a ghost out of
marshmallows, estimate the number of
marshmallows, and look up information about
ghosts.
The student will understand the meaning of the
words estimate, Internet, research, technology,
and design.

9. Assessment
Plan
The assessment for this lesson will
be a checklist. The students will
get a check mark for every portion
of the lesson they complete.

Rationale
The reason for using a checklist is
because there are many different
portions in this lesson. Each part is
completely different so a checklist
would be most appropriate.

10. Lesson Rationale

Upon what assessment data or previous lessons are you building?
Answer: This lesson will be built off of students previous knowledge of
estimation. They will have already learned how to estimate and how to
use technology to find information.

WHAT requisite skills do students need in order to access the lesson & participate
fully?
Answer: The students will need to know how to estimate, use a
computer, draw a design, and use glue.

 How does the content build on what the students already know and are able to do?
Answer: Students already know how to estimate and look up
information. This lesson will give them more practice with these skills
by applying it in a new situation.
HOW does this lesson fit in the curriculum?
Answer: The curriculum requires students to estimate and use
technology to research information. This lesson allows students to
practice both of these skills.
By teaching this lesson, how will this add to student learning?
Answer: This lesson will add to student learning by integrating multiple
subjects and allowing students to practice multiple skills at once.
How will the learning in this lesson be further developed in subsequent lessons?
Answer: In the future, students will have to do a lot more research
using technology. They will also have to design more things and work
more with estimation.
11. Instructional Strategies/Learning Tasks to Support
Learning
Learning Tasks and Strategies
Sequenced Instruction
Teachers Role
Students Role
1. The teacher will
tell students to
use a computer to
look up
information about
ghosts.
2. The teacher will
tell students to
draw an outline of
a ghost and then
glue
marshmallows
onto the outline.
3. The teacher will
tell students to
estimate how
many
marshmallows
they used.

1. The students will use the Internet to find

information about ghosts.

2. The students will draw an outline for a ghost

and glue marshmallows onto the outline.

3. The students will estimate how many

marshmallows they used and then count the
number of marshmallows.

12. Differentiated Instruction

Plan
The students who struggle will just be asked to just count the number
of marshmallows they used.
The students who are more advanced will be asked to estimate how
many marshmallows they will use before gluing them on.
13. Resources and Materials
Plan
The materials needed for this lesson are construction paper, glue,
pencils, marshmallows, and computers.
14. Management and Safety Issues
Plan
The management and safety issues will be ensuring that students use
all of the materials appropriately.
15. Parent & Community Connections
Plan
In order to involve the students family, students will go home and
share their ghosts with their family. They will also show their family
how to find information on the Internet if they have access to a
computer.
