ST – Mastery 35%

Strategies Planned
  Demonstration (2 different science experiments where students observe, graphing
demonstration as a class)
  Hands-on experience (graphing and manipulating M&M’s, writing a book, cut-and-
paste activity, creating a flip book)
  Direct instructions (about word choice, about graphing, about sequencing)
  Categorizing (classifying states of matter, sensory details in a chart)
  Organizing (sequence of events)
  Drill/repetition (defining vocabulary and having students repeat out loud)

Multiple Intelligences fostered

  Body/Kinesthetic – Manipulating M&M’s in graphing activity, cut-and-paste activity

SF – Interpersonal 35%

Strategies Planned
  Group investigation (hypothesizing what will happen in science experiments)
  Role Playing (getting to be the principal for the day)
  Peer tutoring (helping each other with independent practice when they are done)
  Group experiences and working with others (to hypothesize, to sequence in guided
reading)
  Sharing time (pre-writing ideas, personalized book creations, graphing results, flip
books)

Multiple Intelligences fostered

  Interpersonal – working in groups, sharing ideas with classmates
  Musical/Rhythmic –classical background music during writing workshop

NI - Understanding 20%
Strategies Planned
  Opportunities to work independently (cut-and-paste, flip book, book creation, and pre-
writing activities)
  Gaining information through direct instruction and searching the textbook for
information (textbook definitions of solids, liquids, and gases)
  Comparing and contrasting (properties of solids and liquids)
  Inquiry-based activities (question of inquiry in science lessons)
  Using evidence (hypothesizing and evaluating results in science lessons)

Multiple Intelligences fostered

  Intrapersonal – Working independently on cut-and-paste, flip book, and pre-writing
activities
   Verbal/Linguistic – Presenting new ideas and creations to the class, articulating
hypotheses

NF – Self-expressive 10%
Strategies Planned
  Imagining (closing eyes and pretending to be in the story)
  Discovery learning (in each science lesson)
  Creative art activities/Self-expression (create a book and illustrate it, flip book)
  Symbolizing (using word choice and sensory details in writing)
  Creating hypotheses (in each science and math lesson)
  Open-ended discussion (in every lesson)

Multiple Intelligences fostered

  Logical/Mathematical – creating hypotheses, conducting experiments, and analyzing
results
  Visual/Spatial – sequencing train visual, cut-and-paste classifying worksheet, graphing
visual
  Naturalist – discuss how the functions of plants affect human life
