ENGAGEMENT
Describe how the teacher will capture students interest. The students
interest will be captured through the anticipatory set, as well as the Kahoot It
throughout the entire lesson.
What kind of questions should the students ask themselves after the
engagement? The students should be asking themselves what is the path that my food
is digested? What are the different organs involved? What nutrients are included in our
diets? What does a healthy diet include?
EXPLORATION
List big idea conceptual questions the teacher will use to encourage
and/or focus students exploration. Where does the food travel when it is in the
process of being digested? What different nutrients do we consume in foods? What
makes up a healthy meal?
EXPLANATION
List higher order thinking questions, which teachers will use to solicit
student explanations and help them to justify their explanations: Which food
groups under MyPlate have more than one nutrient? What are some examples that you
have eaten?
ELABORATION
Describe how students will develop a more sophisticated
understanding of the concept. Students will develop a more sophisticated
understanding of the concept by the experiment with the saltines, as well as the my plate
activity.
How is this knowledge applied in our daily lives? We use these organs
every single day when we eat, and we eat these nutrients everyday as well.
EVALUATION
How will students demonstrate that they have achieved the lesson
objective? The students will complete the worksheet as well as explain the meals that
they have created in response to the MyPlate guidelines.
