OUR LADY QUEEN OF MARTYRS SCHOOL WEEKLY LESSON PLAN
Teacher’s Name: Mrs. Ramsey Subject: Science Grade: 8th
Week of : December 15th, 2014 Unit: III -6 Weeks Week: 3
Unit Title: Forces and Energy Essential Question: How is energy conserved?
| CCSS Code e.g. RL.K.5 | OUTCOMES (Lesson Focus) What will the students know or be able to do at the end of the lesson? | ASSESSMENT How will the students demonstrate that they have accomplished the desired outcome? Please state the question that will be asked during your formative assessment. | STRATEGIES In what activities will the students be engaged to accomplish the desired outcome? Please list in the order that you will implement. | 3 HOTS QUESTIONS e.g. one should be on knowledge, one on application, and one on synthesis or evaluation. |
Mon
12/15
| SL.1 RST.2 WHST.1c | To explain how earthquakes result from the buildup of energy in Earth’s crust. | What are faults? | 1. Use prior knowledge for explanation. 2. Determine the central ideas from prior knowledge or opinions. 3. Use words, phrases to clarify the evidence. | 1. Where are earthquakes located? 2. Name the three types of fault. 3. What is a strike-slip fault? |
Tues
12/16
| L.4a RST.3 WHST.1b |
To compare and contrast primary, secondary, and surface waves | Which type of force causes a normal fault? | 1. Use context as a clue to the meanings of the phrases. 2. Follow procedures when taking measurements. 3. Support claim with logical reasoning. | 1. What happens to rocks when compression is gradually applied? 2. What type of force usually generates strike-slip faults. 3. Why might it be easier to predict where an earthquake will occur than it is to predict when it will occur? |
Wed
12/17
| SL.1a RST.3 WHST4. | To contrast normal, reverse, and strike -slip faults | What is an example of a strike-slip fault? | 1. Follow the rules of the scientific methods. 2. Identify key steps in the process. 3. Produce clear writing in which the steps are organized. | 1. What happens to rocks when an earthquake occurs? 2. Which type of seismic wave does the most damage to property? 3. Explain why? |
