vocabulary and how
patterns of behavior
are related to its
environment

TW: Review how

different behaviors that
occur in result of an
animals ecosystem.

Objective

SW: Students will be

able to explain how an
organisms pattern of
behavior can affect the
number organisms that
can live there and the
availability of resources.

SW Students will be
able to explain how an
organisms pattern of
behavior can affect the
number organisms that
can live there and the
availability of
resources

SW: Students will be

able to explain how an
organisms pattern of
behavior can affect the
number organisms that
can live there and the
availability of resources

SW: Students will be

able to explain The
meaning of the given
prefixes and identify
them in scientific texts.

SW: Students will be able

to explain how organisms
cause changes in their
environment.

Direct
Instruction:

TW: I will use

TW: I will use
Powerpoint in
Powerpoint in
collaboration with the
collaboration with the
book to guide instruction
science workbook to

TW: I will recap key

notes from the lesson. I
will also discuss how
their behaviors are

TW: I will teach my

mini lesson on
Prefixes. I will also
create two words using

TW: I will use a

NEARPOD presentation
to present key notes from
the lesson.

I will have 2 volunteers I

will allow one to keep
bothering the other to
make the other move out
of the way. This shows
how sometimes things
will cause humans to
change their
environments.

TW & SW:

TW & SW:

Together we will identify

ways that human
behaviors relate to our
own environments. Copy
down notes

Together we will
identify ways that
plants behaviors
are related to its
environment.

Independent
Practice:

SW: I will give each

student pictures of
different envirionments.
Students are to identify
which sensory organs
each animal is using in
the picture.

SW We will individually
choose different
ecosystems and
explain how living
things behave towards
its environment based
on the availability of
food and other
physical
characteristics of the
environment.

SW:

Closure:

TW: We will do thumbs

up game. I will make
statements from the text.
Students are to do
thumbs up for true.
Thumbs down for false.

TW: review with

stand up game. All
students stand up.
Once they have
answered the question
correctly they may sit
one by one.

TW: They will all be

TW: Students will
given an Exit Ticket with check assessment as a
class. Then, students
the following:
will do Stand up
What are two ways that game with what they
an animal may survive have learned
during changing
season?
