The World Around Us
Summary
The unit will consist of information on the sun, moon, outer planets, and the inner planets. The
activities within the unit will be used as the formative assessments for the unit. The game of Jeopardy
will be used as the summative assessment for the unit. The students can search for information on the
Internet to answer the questions as needed. The students will need to ensure the information from the
Internet is the same information from their science book.

Procedure
Anticipatory Set: The students will access the Internet to work on the activities in the website. The
students understand the school policies for using the computers. The students will access the website
from the URL provided by the teacher. The students will complete each activity within the website.
The students can use their science books or a search engine from the Internet to help answer the
questions.

Teaching Procedures: 1. The students should access the Internet from the URL provided by the
teacher. 2. The students can use a search engine or their books to help look for the answers. 3. When
the students reach the final Jeopardy game the students are not allowed to use books or the Internet.
4. The website is divided into 5 pages. The first 4 pages are review activities to help the students
prepare for the final assessment on the last page. 5. The students need to complete the four activities
first before they attempt the final assessment on the last page of the website.
Closure: Begin a discussion with the students on what they found to be most interesting about the
Solar System. Ask open ended questions about how they think the Solar System effects the Earth.
This discussion should be at the end of the first day when the students are done with the review
portions of the activity. The second day is to finish the review if necessary and the final assessment.
Assessment
State how each objective will be evaluated.
Crossword Puzzle - Formative
Hidden Word Search - Formative
Matching - Formative
Jeopardy - Summative
The students will need to find the correct answer to questions in each activity. The questions will
cause the students to review the information they learned from the unit. The students will have to
answer the questions correctly or their answers will not fit within the puzzles.
Extension Items
The students could make models of the planets using art supplies. The students could also make
collages of the different areas of the Solar System by printing pictures off of the Internet.
Areas of Concern
It could take the students longer to complete the review activities than anticipated. This could cause
this activity to run longer than 2 days. If need be, extend the time to three days, and make
adjustments to the lesson plan.

Based on the research above I have decided to use HTML-KIT for my project. The HTML-KIT is
user friendly and comes with different editing abilities. I can design my website my way using templates
provided by HTML-KIT. I can upload my own images or use the HTML-KIT library. I also like the fact I can
make a video out of any image. This will help me complete my audio and video portion of my project.

Learning Style Technology
Interpersonal The Interpersonal students can use the
classroom social network site;
Facebook page. The classroom
Facebook page is setup for the
classroom students only. The privacy
setting do not allow anyone other than
the students in the class to post ideas
or comment on already posted ideas.
These students can upload Internet
pictures and add comments about the
Solar System. The students can
communicate freely.
Intrapersonal The Intrapersonal students need to
post scientific websites like
kidsastronomy.com about the Solar
System on the Facebook page. The
scientific websites should be
accompanied by questions for the
students to think about and answer.
Once the students have answered the
questions. The Intrapersonal students
need make sure the answers are
correct by researching what the other
students have answered. Having the
Intrapersonal students research for
the answers and questions provide the
self-paced learning the students need.
Kinesthetic The Kinesthetic students can use
Anime Studio Debut 8 to manipulate
and animate the pictures on the
Facebook back. The Anime Studio
Debut allows the students to physically
manipulate pre-existing pictures or
create their own pictures using the
paint and draw feature. The students
can post or repost their pictures to the
Facebook page.
Linguistic The Linguistic students can use the
classroom social network site;
Facebook. The classroom Facebook
page is setup for the classroom
students only. The privacy setting do
not allow anyone other than the
students in the class to post ideas or

These students can upload Internet
pictures and add comments about the
Solar System. The students can
communicate freely. These students
can write a poem about the Solar
System and post it on the Facebook
page. The other students can read and
post comments about the poems.
Logical The Logical students can create a map
to put the planets in the correct order,
according to the Solar System. The
students will include the asteroid belt
and the Earths sun and moon. The
students can use a science website
like planetsforkids.org as a reference
for the project. Once the project is
completed the students can scan and
upload the map to the classroom
Facebook page.
Musical The Musical students can create a
Podcast about the Solar System. The
students can create a song about the
planets and use Podcast software to
record it. Once the students have
finished their song the students can
upload the Podcast to the classroom
Facebook page. This way the other
students can provide comments about
the song. The song should include all
of the planets, the sun, and the moon.
Naturalistic The Naturalistic students can use the
constellation star ball to find a specific
constellation to draw. The Naturalistic
student needs hands-on learning and
the star ball provides this. The
students will create a picture of the
constellation they chose than scan and
upload the picture to the Facebook
page.


Interactive lesson plan
Interactive Lesson
The lesson I will create is a review lesson on the Solar System. I teach 5th grade and we
complete a unit on the Solar System. I teach 2 lessons of science. One lesson to my class and one
lesson to the class next door. The other teacher is responsible for teaching Social Studies to both
classes. Making a lesson from this unit interactive will allow the students to understand the
vocabulary and specific facts better. The unit is the review parts of the Solar System and I hope
by adding an interactive part to the lesson, the students will recall the information to pass the
quiz.
The unit is broken down into four areas; the sun, the moon, the inner planets, and the
outer planets. Each area is a lesson and I will include technology in each lesson. For this project I
will use the review day as my interactive lesson. This lesson will include one review page for
each of the two lessons and the final assessment will be a game of Jeopardy.
I will include activities for each lesson review including a cross word puzzle and a word
search. Each of these activities will provide me with a formative assessment and Jeopardy will
provide me with my summative assessment. The students will work individually during the

review process and then take the Jeopardy quiz at the end. The students will have two back-to-
back class periods to complete the interactive assignment.
The website is located at the link below. The lesson includes a tutorial and assessments in
accordance with the required assignment. The lesson plan, standards, and objectives are also
included as per the assignment directions.
