Unit Topic or Theme: The Universe
Grade: 3

Lesson Topic or Theme: The Universe
Lesson Objectives: The student will be able to navigate through this multiple choice activity website, either answering questions correctly and moving on, or answering them incorrectly and being redirected to the previous page to have an opportunity to answer again. These questions are miscellaneous and cover several topics of the universe, such as our planets, constellations, black holes, and more. If the students can answer five out of seven questions correctly on their first try, it will be evident that they learned some facts about the universe from our unit.
Instructional Technique: This website activity is for individual work. This is a review of what the students have learned previously and we want them to see how much they have learned throughout the unit. If they answer a question incorrectly, they have as many opportunities as they need to go back and answer again.
Instructional Materials: There are no external instructional materials. This website is meant for a review after the unit has been completed.
Theoretical Perspective: It is important for students to have knowledge about what surrounds our planet and what else exists in the universe, other than Earth. It opens their eyes to something they may not know about or be familiar with, and may interest them.

Procedure:
A. Introductory Activity - There is no introductory activity to this exercise. Students should use the knowledge they obtained throughout the unit to answer the questions in the website activity.
B.    Step-by-step
    1.    Teacher will explain to the students that this website activity is for review only, for students to see how much they have learned from the universe unit.
    2.    Teacher will explain that students have more than one opportunity to answer a question, because if they answer incorrectly they simply need to click on the image on the screen and it will     redirect them back to the questions page. This will allow them to answer as many times as needed. When the student answers a question correctly, the page will tell them they are correct and         provide them with another link to click to take them to the next question.
    3.    On some of the question pages (the more difficult ones) there will be some links at the bottom of the page for the students to view if they are stuck. These links will help further their             knowledge on the subject, but they are only encouraged to use them if they are absolutely stumped.
    4.    Once the students understand what they are expected to do, assign them to computers individually. Let them know this is an individual activity only.
    5.    Be available for students that have technical problems with the computers, and make sure they are working individually.
    6.    After they have completed the website activity, meet as a class and discuss what was easy for the students and what was harder for them.
C. Closure - Meet with all of the students in one large group and ask what the students liked and did not like about this particular activity. Ask them what questions were hard and which questions were easy and why. Make note of their answers on the board in front of them, so they can physically reflect on their experience using the website. (This will also help the teacher see what needs to be covered next time this lesson is visited!)
D. Adaptations for different learners - On some of the harder questions, there will be links on the bottom of the page for students that are struggling to visit that will help them answer the question. If a student does not speak English as a first language, the teacher is encouraged to read the options out loud with the student individually and explain what each question and answer is asking. The teacher cannot answer for the student however, they still need to answer on their own. If a student is simply just having a hard time with the lesson, keep encouraging them to try again. Each wrong page has an explanation as to why it is wrong, so they understand.
E.    Homework - This is no homework corresponding with this lesson. This website activity
should be started and completed in class and should take no longer than ten minutes for each student to complete, therefore there is no work to take home.


Evaluation:
A. How/ when will you determine if you have met your objectives?

When students are done with this activity and they have visited the website and made it to the end, it is time to evaluate if they have learned anything. We want the students to complete this activity, preferably answering five out of seven correct on the first turn. Our objectives were just having the students go through the website as a review and answering the questions. They need to follow the directions on the page depending on the answer they chose. This website is self-explanatory, and the students should be able to navigate themselves. A teacher should sit behind students as they are completing the activity, and make a small note of how many times it took for a child to answer each question. This is how we will know if a student understands the information and learned something from the unit. Also, at the end of this activity when the students meet in a large group with the teacher, it will be evident if they have learned anything new when asked questions on what was easy and what was hard. This feedback from them will also help the teacher alter the lesson (if needed) for the next time this unit is taught.

B.    Concerns or questions you have about teaching this lesson?

There are no immediate questions or concerns while teaching this lesson. We just want the students to have fun and review all the information they have learned in the universe unit. Our only concerns would be technical problems with the computers. If one computer in particular is causing trouble, ask the student to patiently wait for another student to complete the activity, and then use that computer once they are done.
