Lesson Objective: (SWBAT...) (Today I will…, Why? So I can…, How? I know I got it when..) | Crayfish introduction and invertebrate Brainpop Pre-Quiz and Systems | Draw, label and define these terms for the external view of the crayfish | Draw, label and define these terms for the external view of the crayfish | the crayfish lab is directly on the heels of the Starfish dissection. This unit will consist of what a crayfish is and its’ function in the ecological systems of fresh water environments. Using the web site page here, (http://www.angelfire.com/sd/otagounidive/crayfish.pdf) to help students identify the types and various groups included with this animal, all of which are edible in part or whole | Dissection of the crayfish both in-person and virtually Learners will identify organs and systems as a wet lab test during this process. |
ELPS: (According to the lesson, which standards should ELL students master as they acquire English proficiency?) | ELPS: 1.1 A use prior knowledge and experiences to understand meanings in English 1.1C use strategic learning techniques such as concept mapping, drawing, memorizing, comparing, contrasting, and reviewing to acquire basic and grade level vocabulary. | ELPS: 1.1 A use prior knowledge and experiences to understand meanings in English 1.1C use strategic learning techniques such as concept mapping, drawing, memorizing, comparing, contrasting, and reviewing to acquire basic and grade level vocabulary. | ELPS: 1.1 A use prior knowledge and experiences to understand meanings in English 1.1C use strategic learning techniques such as concept mapping, drawing, memorizing, comparing, contrasting, and reviewing to acquire basic and grade level vocabulary. | ELPS: 1.1 A use prior knowledge and experiences to understand meanings in English 1.1C use strategic learning techniques such as concept mapping, drawing, memorizing, comparing, contrasting, and reviewing to acquire basic and grade level vocabulary. | ELPS: 1.1 A use prior knowledge and experiences to understand meanings in English 1.1C use strategic learning techniques such as concept mapping, drawing, memorizing, comparing, contrasting, and reviewing to acquire basic and grade level vocabulary. |
