TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATED CLASSROOM LESSON Approximate number of class periods and length This lesson will be taught in 3 class periods over 3 days.
Classroom management strategies: The lesson is for a third grade class of approximately 20 students. It will be taught in the third grade classroom using both small group and large group lessons. When the students take the Respiratory System Quiz, create their wordle or work on their glogster we will use the laptops in the classroom.
Warm up The preceding lessons introduced the human body and described its composition of several systems, working together. These lessons continue with the respiratory system defining it and discovering how it works. The students will already have prior knowledge of the use of a laptop and how to create a wordle and glogster
Activities/ Procedures MONDAY Begin the science lesson by introducing the Respiratory System. To get an understanding of what the students know about this system, give the Pre Test Quiz http://kidshealth.org/kid/htbw/_bfs_RSquizsource.html. Students can take this on their laptops. Do not record the score. Review briefly their results. Using the Smartboard and Respiratory System site http://library.thinkquest.org/5777/resp1.htm, explain to the students what is the respiratory system and how it works. Identify the vocabulary for this lesson, which the students have in their Lab books. Using the laptops in the classroom, each student will create a WORDLE with these words. http://www.wordle.net/ They will share these with their classmates later in the lesson. Show the video on the respiratory system using the Smartboard. http://player.discoveryeducation.com/index.cfm?guidAssetId=50EA330C-DFE3-4443-B142111DD7DB0764 Discuss with the students the important parts of the respiratory system. Give them time to finish their WORDLE. TUESDAY Open the lesson with a review of the respiratory system using this video clip. http://player.discoveryeducation.com/index.cfm?guidAssetId=285F07FD-AB74-4230-A9A3542BDB5355DC Have students complete the diagram of the respiratory system. http://www2.asd.wednet.edu/Pioneer/barnard/lessons/bodysys/resp/respws.htm Working in small groups of 5, students will perform the Respiration Rate Investigation and record their information on the data sheet provided. ..\..\..\..\Desktop\Respiration Rate Investigation.doc The investigation: While sitting at their desks, students will take their respiration rate for 1 minute. (This means they will count the number of breaths they take in 1 minute.) As a group, they will record their data. Then students will jog in place for 1 minute and again take their respiration rate for 1
TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATED CLASSROOM LESSON minute. (This means students jog for 1 minute and then count the number of breaths they take in 1 minute.) Record the information on the data sheet. They will discuss and compare their data with others in their group. The teacher will show the Respiration Rate Data chart on the Smartboard ..\..\..\..\Desktop\Respiration Rate Form - Class Data.xls and each student will record their results of the 2 investigations. Class will discuss the results of the two investigations and what the results mean. Teacher will evaluate the students during the Investigations using the Rubistar Rubric. Using the laptops, students will share their WORDLES with the class. WEDNESDAY Students will create a GLOGSTER on the respiratory system. Using the information they have previously gathered to use for this GLOGSTER, students will work together as partners to create a glog. http://www.glogster.com/register Before the end of class, students will take the Respiratory System Quiz to see what they’ve learned. http://kidshealth.org/kid/htbw/_bfs_RSquizsource.html
Assessment strategies Students will be assessed in the following ways: Using the diagram of the respiratory system, students will label the parts of the respiratory system. http://www2.asd.wednet.edu/Pioneer/barnard/lessons/bodysys/resp/respws.htm As students work in groups for the Investigations, they will be assessed using the RubiStar Rubric Lab Report: Respiration Rate Investigation. The final test on the Respiratory System will be given at the end of the unit on the Respiratory System.

Back-up plan: (if the technology fails!) If the technology is not working, the teacher will take the students to the Science Lab and perform the Investigation 3 in their Lab books. The students will define their vocabulary from this lesson and write the definitions on their file cards.
Branching out To help my students who need extra help, I would pair them with a classmate to create their WORDLE and GLOGSTER. For those students who are above level, I would have them research other ways to investigate the respiratory system. They might create a model of the lung using a 2 liter bottle and balloon and then demonstrate how it works.
