a piece of paper.
Step: 2 Duration: 5
min.
Discuss what types of animals would be studied by an
archaeologist, veterinarian, and zoo keeper.
Step:
3 Duration: 5 min.
Encourage students to find pictures in their science book that
might represent the type of animals people who work as an archaeologist,
veterinarian, or zoo keeper would study.
Step:
4 Duration: 15 min.
Students will then develop a collage with drawings of animals
that could be studied by an archeologist, veterinarian, or zoo keeper and label
them.
Materials and Equipment
Construction paper, Science books, Crayons and pencils
Standards (Local and/or National)
Total Duration
30 min.
Technology Connection
Assessment
Students participation and completed collage will be
evaluated.
Extension
Have students research one of the careers discussed and
prepare a short report to share with the class.
Remediation
Have students create an animal book as a group. Ask one group
to create a book of animals that a veterinarian would care for, one for an
archeologist and another book of animals that a zoologist would deal with.
Accommodation
Modification
For students with significant disabilities, what changes can
be made in instruction and teaching delivery to allow students to participate in
classroom instruction while working on IEP objectives and off grade level QCC
standards. Below are suggested modifications correlated to the procedures of
this lesson plan.
