b. SWBAT analyze and interpret data collected from their planned investigation.
d. Extension: 20 min
i. TW hand out and M&Ms Estimating and Measuring Worksheet.
ii. SW work individually to complete questions 1 and 2.
6. Accommodations, Modifications and Differentiations for Diverse Learners:
a. I will allow my student with Duane Syndrome to move to the front of the room when
projecting something on the Elmo.
b. I will have my struggling students sit at the back desk with Ms. Levesque. There are three
specific students that always work in a group with the teacher’s assistance to complete the
activities.
8. Homework Assignment: Students will not be given homework over this lesson. Students receive a
specialized packet at the beginning of each week, which their teacher provides.
9. Reflection
a. Strengths: Students absolutely loved this science experiment. I was so surprised at the
amount of students that were genuinely engaged. It was such an awesome thing to see all
students taking an active role in their learning. As I walked around, all students were
working hard and taking leadership.
b. Concerns: I was really concerned with the students eagerness to eat the M&M’s. Students
love to play with food, especially when it is candy. I was afraid that I would have students
playing with the M&M’s and trying to eat them.
c. Insights: I would definitely teach this lesson again to my future students. All my students
loved this science experiment and took a lot away from it. I also learned that sometimes
proofreading things is important. Three teachers read the M&M’s worksheet and we all
missed the color green on the data table. It was a funny experience and just shows that
even teachers make mistakes, but we adapt and overcome.
This is the inspiration for my scientific method anchor chart. I will be adding research.
