Resource Critique Activity

LESSON PLAN SC.2.L.16.1

For this assignment, I chose second grade science. I chose the topic "Hereditary and Reproduction." The resource I chose was the lesson plan titled "Butterfly Life Cycle." In this particular lesson plan, students are challenged to explore the life cycle of a butterfly through different observations and places. This lesson is a long term lesson, since students will be following the butterfly from birth to death. Suggested technology for this lesson would be a computer for students to log observations, notes, questions and times for things they witness while following the butterfly. Students could use software's such as excel, to create a chart documenting their collected data. I also feel that with the use of the internet and websites like YouTube, students can use these resources to help them answer questions about the natural world and describe the major life changes in a butterfly's life. Students are also to generate critical thinking questions and explanations at the end of this lesson, explaining what they learned, what questions they may have and what they would like to learn more of.

  4. This seems like a very cool lesson to teach second graders about science. The idea of seeing a butterfly's full life cycle is important because students will be able to gain valuable life experience with excel and websites.
