How do living
things get energy.
(Producers and
consumers).
Lesson #
Grade 4B
Students will describe ways of plants and animals depend on each other. Predict,
sequence or compare the life stages of organisms (plants and animal) put the
image of life stages of an organism in order, let them predict the next stage in
sequence, and compare between two organisms.
Performance Expectation(s):
Students will explain that animals get the plants and animals they eat, and describe
the possible consequences of the removal of one component in a balanced
ecosystem.
Specific Learning Outcomes:
Student will observe how the animal get the energy from the plant from the video.
Using video www.pearsonuccessnet.com to ask them question about what did they
see, and what they have from their background.
Science & Engineering
Practices:
Crosscutting Concepts:
Possible Preconceptions/Misconceptions:
Using PowerPoint to show them picture about the living things at the start, and
asking them questions to reviewing the two words producers and consumers.
Using PowerPoint to show them picture of some organisms to know the definition for
the key words.
Consumers (herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores), and (What is the living things).
Give each group one white board to draw three kinds of consumers (herbivores, carnivores, and
omnivores),
Show the students the table on the PowerPoint, and ask each student of groups
To discuss about the correct answer together.
Questions:
First group, give me the animals of herbivore group?
Then the animals of carnivore group?
The last one, what about the animals of omnivore group?
First of all, I will show them examples of energy flow for each word of producers, consumers, and the
kinds of consumers which are (herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores.) as reviewing to the students.
Reviewing the Questions will be:
-
Students will be reading a graph, Then they will look at the diagram to get the answer.
The question is what was the size of the population in two years 8, and 9?
From the diagram can find the answer?
Ask the students what the new information that they learn it today is.
Give them small cards to draw energy flow as a homework.
Reflection:
This lesson will complete the last lesson about the living things and non-living things,
but they students will be focus on the producers, consumers, and decomposer. First of all,
using PowerPoint to show them picture about the living things at the start, and asking them
questions to reviewing the two words producers and consumers. Also to show the picture of
some organisms to know the definition for the key words. Consumers (herbivores,
carnivores, and omnivores), and (What is the living things). Give each group one white board
to draw three kinds of consumers (herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores). From this activity
students can discuss with each other about their work, and also if they have any questions
they can tell me to help them and explain it more. Behind that I use this activity is Bring
some materials like dead leaves, worms (not real), and new plants.so from those materials
they can link the information and learn by doing. And I will walk around and each will tell
me the operation for the decomposer things.
