  3. Grade Level Expectations • SCIENCE • The student understands how processes of weathering and erosion constantly change the surface of the Earth.

  4. Let’s Practice • Half Note: 2 beats • Ta-a

  5. Let’s Practice! • Quarter Note: 1 beat • Ta

  6. Eighth Note: half a beat Ti Beamed Eighth Note: Two half = 1 whole Ti-Ti Something New

  11. Weathering and Erosion • Websites for students to explore • Geography4Kids.com • Erosion Video Brainpop.com

  12. Ongoing Activity • Logistics • Groups of four or five • On school property (low traffic area) • Model Mountain Range • Students dig and build a “mountain” out of dirt • Creative Freedom

  13. Ongoing Activity • Observations • 10 to 12 weeks • Weekly observations • Record height & width, predictions, rationales • Extensions • Water cycle, different types of bodies of water, landforms, human effects on erosion, water’s role in shaping the earth, etc.

  14. Accommodations • Students with Speech Disabilities • Comfortable classroom environment • May benefit from singing in the classroom • Singing is often found to help stuttering and stammering • Music encourages fluency and vowels are sustained • Student will not be forced to speak in front of the whole class

  16. Accommodations • ESOL students • Handout of the notes and the corresponding rhythmic notations • Reinforce vocabulary • Restate directions clearly and directly

  17. Assessment • MUSIC • Informal Assessment • Proficient Performance check off sheet • SCIENCE • Evaluate group observation notes (data, predictions, conclusions) • Individual assessment • Unit test to assess individual knowledge
