My students need hands on materials for STEM and Science instruction at the 5th grade level. The Art-Time dough will enable the student to create working with a partner a visual scale model of the planets that includes the inner and outer planets and the asteroid belt.
I teach 85 energetic fifth grade students in Ohio in a school where 100% of the students qualify for free lunch.. All students want to learn and we need materials to make learning memorable..Many are English language learners, many are special education. These students come to school excited for learning, and love to get their hands on anything that will help increase their learning. Many of these students come to 5th grade with limited or no Science background knowledge. Beyond these odds, my students work hard to attain knowledge, and are fabulous human beings.
My project is based on Ohio state standards for Space Science.
The objective is to compare or summarize general characteristics (size, composition, distance, temperature, motion) of objects in the universe including stars, planets,moons, asteroids,and comets.
Students will predict and make a paper model on a sentence strip of the size of the sun and the planets.
Next, they will work with a partner to divide a container of clay dough into balls based on the teacher directions to represent the sun and the size of planets. The students will be able to list the name of the planets and have a visual model of the planets in our solar system. For this lesson,I will include Pluto and discuss why it is now called a dwarf planet.
The colored beads and sentence strips will be used to represent the sun and distance of planets.
