Lesson Title

Summary and Rationale

(Summary and rationale of the lesson that clearly creates relevant and engaging learning experiences appropriate for identified learning goals and content standards.)

STEM Standards (science, technology, engineering, and/or math)

( STEM standards (science, technology, engineering, and math) from the “Next Generation Science Standards )

Instructional Strategies

(Kagan strategies, small group, whole group, partner work, etc.)

(Choose an instructional strategy that is applicable to each lesson that provides opportunities for independent study, active inquiry, collaboration, and/or support interaction in the elementary STEM classroom.)

Materials, Resources, and Technology

(Choose digital tools, resources, and technology that provide opportunities for creativity, innovative thinking, and engage students in solving authentic problems)

Engineering Standards

(Insert an engineering standard in your unit plan. Include a brief sentence as to how engineering could play a role in each of the lessons)

Humanities and/or Arts Standards

(Common Core or state standard)

(Include a minimum of three humanities and/or arts standards, throughout the unit plan, that align with the overarching theme chosen)

Learning Objectives (Students will…)

(Write measurable learning objectives for each lesson that take into consideration interdisciplinary instruction and specifically align to the chosen state standards)

Summary of Instruction and Activities Planned for the Lesson

(Include a summary of instruction and strategies implemented for each lesson with a brief description of the activities planned that are developmentally appropriate to STEM using cross-disciplinary connections to engage students and promote inquiry.)

Formative Assessment Strategies Planned

(Discuss how you will formally and informally assess the learning of each lesson to plan, evaluate, and strengthen instruction that promotes continuous development of students. Include at least two formative assessments to be implemented through a form of technology)

Summative Assessment: Provide a 150-word description of the summative assessment you will use to assess your students at the end of instruction. ( Provide a description of the project-based summative assessment used to assess the unit plan. )

Reflection (In 250 words, summarize, reflect, and describe how your unit plan will create relevant and engaging learning experiences that encourage motivation in order to build ownership of learning in STEM.):

Reflection (In 250 words, summarize and reflect on the major concepts and principles of the Engineering Component and their integration into your unit plan. What are the benefits and challenges that occur when integrating major concepts and principles of engineering into multiple content areas? Why is this important? Explain how you will use the engineering process in your future professional practice).:
