1 When Learning Falls in Your Lap: Creating and Using Laptops ~ A Returning Developer ~ For further information contact Donna Jo Campbell Lena Vista Elementary 925 Berkley Road (Route B) Auburndale, FL donna.campbell@polk-fl.net n PROGRAM OVERVIEW This program describes the use of a lapbook as a container for graphic organizers and LFS summaries in a science unit about Earth and Space. Aptly named, lapbooks are collections of booklets, summaries, foldables, and graphic organizers that are gathered and displayed in a folder-book that fits in your lap. The example included here is a unit on Earth and Space that I taught over a time span of 18 days with third through fifth grade self-contained special needs students. Over the course of this school year, my students have completed lapbooks on a variety of topics, including FCAT review, Florida History and Strawberry Girl, Processes that Shape the Earth, and Geometry. n OVERALL VALUE Lapbooks allow students to contain their notes, graphic organizers, answers to LEQs, and summaries in one location so they can review the taught information and share it with others. I found that students who were initially reluctant to write summaries were quickly excited when their work included colorful foldables and booklets that would be displayed in their lapbooks. Rather than losing their graphic organizers and finding incomplete summaries, my students soon had a complete set of information available to review and document their learning! n LESSON PLAN TITLES What is in the Solar System? How does the Earth Travel? What Happens When Earth Moves? n MATERIALS Materials for each lesson are listed with each lesson plan. Overall materials budget including pricing and vendors follows the lesson plan. n ABOUT THE DEVELOPER Donna Jo Campbell has a Master s degree in Exceptional Student Education from Grand Canyon University, National Board certification in Exceptional Student Education, and a BS degree in Elementary Education and Exceptional Student Education from Florida Southern College. She has 17 years experience teaching special education and atrisk students kindergarten through eighth grade. She is currently the selfcontained, special education teacher at Lena Vista Elementary in Auburndale. H H H
2 Lesson Plan No 1: What is in the Solar System? n SUBJECTS COVERED Science n GRADES Three - Five n OBJECTIVES Key Learning: The Solar System, which consists of planets, stars and moon, is in constant motion through various orbits. Unit Essential Questions: What are the characteristics of our Solar System? Lesson Essential Questions (Objectives): What objects make up our Solar System and what other objects are in the universe? n SUNSHINE STATE STANDARDS SC.E knows the relative positions of the Moon, Earth, and Sun during each of the phases of the Moon. SC.E knows that the planets differ in size, characteristics, and composition and that they orbit the Sun in our Solar System. SC.E knows the arrangement of the planets and the asteroid belt in our Solar System. n MATERIALS ScienceWorks for Kids: Exploring Space by Jo Ellen Moor (Author), et al.

Take them outside to look if needed. List their objects. Ask what can be seen in the sky at night and add those objects. With student input, cross out those items that are part of the Ear th (birds, planes, clouds, etc.) Read the remaining items and ask, What are these things a part of? If needed, tell students that the items are part of space and that Earth is in space, too. Students may begin creating a lapbook, using page 9 as the cover. Teach/Model 1. Watch DES video clip TLC Elementary School: The Story of the Solar System. 2. Read pages in Science Intervention Reader 3. Students complete p10, What Is It? This vocabulary may be added to the lapbook in the form of a rubber-band bound book. 4. Our Solar System mini-book will be completed and added to lapbook. Summary Add Space Riddles Flaps pp to lapbook as an accordion book. Teach/Model 5. View DES video A Closer Look at Space: The Sun and Stars (20:59) 6. Complete Our Sun mini-book. Add to lapbook.
