PURPOSE Why am I teaching this lesson? What do I want the students to know/to be able to do by
the end of the lesson that they could not do before? (LOs and SOs)

Students will be able to:

Find out how the shapes of solid objects made from some materials can be changed
by squashing, bending, twisting and stretching.
How to use different skills in shaping play doh.
GROUPING: What is the group size? How is every student going to be able to participate? Will you
be differentiating and how?

Group size: Each group consists of 6 students unless one group has 8 students. (one
low level group, two middle level groups, and two high level groups).
How is every student is going to participate? I will give each student the chance
to answer, there is an individual work for students to do, and I will choose randomly
from the name list or throwing the dice.
The differentiation worksheets:
-Low: Students will have to create a shape from play doh using only one skill.
-Middle: Students will have to create a shape from play doh using two skills.
-High: Students will have to create a shape from play doh using three skills.

Key terms with definitions (and pictures if appropriate):

word glossary definition image

Squashing Crush or squeeze

(something) with force so
that it becomes flat, soft, or
out of shape.

Bending Shape or force (something

straight) into a curve or
angle.

Twisting Form into a bent, curling, or

distorted shape.

Stretching (of something soft or

elastic) be made or be
capable of being made
longer or wider without
tearing or breaking. !

Students Prior Knowledge:

Students already know that shapes of materials can be changed.
Students already know the four skills of changing shape.

Possible Problems :
Students may get distracted during the gallery walk strategy.
Students may be late in moving or following directions.
Solutions for the Possible Problems:
I will use a bell so students can know when to move and when to stop (specific timing
will be provided for each station).
I will use the gum machine strategy to control the movement of students.
Misconceptions:
Students may think of two skills as one or mix them together.
Students may consider rolling as one of the four studied skills.
Students may not know which strategy are they using.
Solutions for Misconceptions:
Clear clarification of skills and their meanings must be provided.
Review of skills with pictures and gestures for each one must be provided.
