Anderson/Johnson 10/30/18 Food Chains vs. Food Webs 6th Grade Science Anderson/Johnson 10/30/18 Food Chains vs. Food Webs Make sure this slide is completed. Students will NOT view this slide. This slide is for lesson planning purposes only.

From which standard is today’s learning taken? Type the standard in below: 6.LS.2.3 Draw conclusions about the transfer of energy through a food web & energy pyramid in an ecosystem. TODAY’S TASK: Students will CREATE a food web & CONCLUDE why an ecosystem can support 10,000 crickets but only 4 bald eagles (Include Tier 2 energy pyramid in summary). Students will NOT view this slide. This slide is for lesson planning purposes ONLY. Once you have written the standard, align TODAY’S TASK to the standard. TODAY’S TASK is also written on another slide AND displayed on the board. Color code the standard to match the corresponding part of the task that was designed to match that particular part of the standard. TODAY’S TASK will be the last assignment (ticket-out the door) that students complete. TODAY’S TASK will show you if students are able to demonstrate the standard with fidelity.

Questions (be sure to read the definitions for each level to make sure your question causes students to perform at the intended level – T3, T4, T5, and T6 are addressed with questions) Question Level Write the question(s) you will ask from this level of Bloom’s? What part of the lesson will this happen? What questioning strategy will you use when you ask this question? Knowledge What is a producer? Tier 1 Ask Question, Wait time, and Random Student Selection Response Comprehension What is a both meat and plant eating animal called? Application Can you describe the importance of organisms to eat? Tier 2 Analysis How does a rabbit get its energy to hop all day? Does a rabbit receive all the energy the grass contained? How do you know? Tier 2/3 Synthesis Are there similarities between primary and secondary consumers? What are they? Are there negative effects from eliminated or extinct biotic factors? What are they? Tier 3 Evaluation What trends do you notice as the energy flows up the energy pyramid? What are the similarities and differences between food chains and food webs? Students will not see this slide. This slide is simply meant for you to plan the questions you’re going to ask and to tell what part of the lesson you will ask those questions. Additionally, you will explain what questioning techniques you intend to use during this lesson. This slide is intended to make you intentional about questioning students. It in no way limits how many questions you should ask, but it helps you to plan for the minimum amount of questions you should ask during any lesson. Use question stems from each level of Bloom’s to assist you with creating questions. Write your questions in the box and be sure to tell which part of the lesson you will ask those questions.

Bellwork 9 minutes 4 minutes 5 minutes 6 minutes Time Is up 1 minute Instructional supplies and copied are prepared. This is the 1st slide seen by students. The time does not begin until you click the slide. This slide should be “clicked” when the bell rings ending class (there is enough time allotted for students to have 8 minutes to complete bellwork from when the short bell sounds. Bellwork introduces the lesson or is a warm-up to what students are going to do today. In some cases, bellwork is a review of what happened during the last class period. Write your bellwork in the space provided. If you are giving students a hand-out to complete, make a notation on this slide. When this slide is finished, bellwork should be collected BEFORE you go over the answers. All bellwork must be graded and returned in 24 hours or the grade will not count. Time is not extended. ***Students should answer three standards-based questions (test questions)

Bellwork Breakdown 2 minutes 4 minutes 1 minute Time Is up 3 minutes 1.eca Use this time/slide to discuss the correct answers/responses to the bellwork students have just completed. REMEMBER to take up the bellwork BEFORE discussing the bellwork so that you truly know what students know and are able to do.

Connection 60 seconds Time Is up Today, you will learn: About food webs and how energy travels through an ecosystem. Today’s Text: Reference Unit 2 Lesson 2 Guided Notes (pgs. 89- 101). Today’s Task: Students will CREATE a food web & CONCLUDE why an ecosystem can support 10,000 crickets but only 4 bald eagles (Include Tier 2 energy pyramid in summary). The information on this slide should also be written on the board (this is the white board protocol). After you have gone over the bellwork, and BEFORE you frontload for the day, you should engage students in this connection slide. Today, you will learn: This should be written in student-friendly language and should be no more than 10 words total Today’s Text: Every lesson should be driven by text. What text will you use to drive this work? Today’s Task: Copy TODAY’S TASK from slide 2

How will you hook students and gain their interest? What notes will students be required to take? **students should NEVER be allowed to sit idly while the teacher talks – if it’s important enough for the teacher to write, it’s important enough for the student to write. Remember that notes (and how students take them, where they keep them, and how they use them again) must be intentional Additional facilitating will happen in small groups. Frontloading can happen in any of the following ways: Activate prior knowledge Model thought process I do, we do, you do Use verbal cues Motivational context to pique student interest/curiosity Display historical timeline to offer a context for learning Model activity students will be asked to complete Break complex tasks into easier steps Offer hints/partial solutions to problems Teach students chants/mnemonic devices to ease memorization of key facts/procedures Guiding students to make a prediction about what expect to occur Allow students to contribute their own experiences that relate to the subject/content being discussed

Tiered Tasks 2 minutes 3 minutes 1 minute Time Is up Tier Time Allotted Who will begin with this task? Task Tier #1 6 Minutes Students who missed 2 or more bellwork questions (ALL for Review Day) ARRANGE the given organisms in a food chain use arrows to show flow of energy from one organism to the next. (grasshopper, snake, grass, frog, & hawk). Tier #2 7 Students who missed 1 bellwork question (ALL for Review Day) Grouped students will CATEGORIZE given organisms in an energy pyramid speed relay. (See white board for “A” instructions) Today’s Task 15 Students who got all 3 bellwork questions right (ALL for Review Day) Students will CREATE a food web & CONCLUDE why an ecosystem can support 10,000 crickets but only 4 bald eagles (Include Tier 2 energy pyramid in summary). (See white board for “B” instructions) During this three minutes, you will tell students which tier they will begin. Give students a chance to move, collect supplies, etc (if applicable)… You can simply copy and paste these same assignments on the next slide. How to complete the slides: Decide which students will begin in which tier. True differentiation does not require all students to complete all assignments. The “TIER 1” assignment should utilize verbs from the KNOWLEDGE level of Bloom’s. *In the KNOWLEDGE level of Bloom’s, students remember/recall previously learned information. The verbs to use in this level are: arrange, define, describe, duplicate, identify, label, list, match, memorize, name, order, outline, recognize, relate, recall, repeat, reproduce, select, state The “TIER 2” assignment should utilize verbs from the COMPREHENSION and APPLICATION levels of Bloom’s. *In the COMPREHENSION level of Bloom’s, students demonstrate an understanding of the facts. The verbs to use in this level are: classify, convert, defend, describe, discuss, distinguish, estimate, explain, express, extend, generalized, give examples, identify, indicate, infer, locate, paraphrase, predict, recognize, rewrite, review, select, summarize, translate *In the APPLICATION level of Bloom’s, students apply knowledge to actual situations. The verbs to use in this level are: apply, change, choose, compute, demonstrate, discover, dramatize, employ, illustrate, interpret, manipulate, modify, operate, practice, predict, prepare, produce, relate, schedule, show, sketch, solve, use, write Today’s Task is simply copied from slide 2 of this presentation. This is the last assignment students will complete before leaving class. Students only have 14 minutes to complete this assignment and timing for this assignment will continue on the next few slides.
