Assessment Description

As an educator, you will be called to integrate different disciplines into your science curriculum and lessons. Math and literacy integration will support students in evaluating and applying science content. At other times, you may be asked to address state content standards beyond science, such as standards for health and/or technology. Facilitating meaningful connections between disciplines allows students to extend their thinking and problem-solving by bringing learning into more real-world applications.

Part 1: Materials, Resources, and Integration

For this assignment, complete the following components in the “ELM-570 Science Unit Plan" template:

· Materials and Resources: List appropriate and relevant materials and resources needed for each day’s lesson.

· Technology Integration: Describe technological tools and strategies for integrating technology into the week’s unit plan to support and enhance the science content.

· Health Integration: Identify health skills and concepts, such as human movement, activity, fitness, emotional health, and motor skills, that will be supported throughout the unit plan and describe how those concepts will be integrated into the designed activities from Topic 3.

· Math Connections: Identify at least one mathematical practice standard or skill (e.g., accuracy, precision, estimation, measurement, and data analysis ) to support the science instruction and describe how the practice standard or skill will support student learning in the unit plan.

· Literacy: Describe a minimum of two areas of literacy (reading, writing, listening, and speaking) that are integrated into the unit plan. Identify which activities designed in Topic 3 support each literacy area.

Part 2: Reflection

In 250-500 words, summarize and reflect on the process of creating a cohesive, weeklong unit plan that successfully incorporates crosscutting concepts, science and engineering practices, and multiple disciplines. Include the following in your reflection:

· Describe how you seamlessly integrated technology and cross-curricular skills into the unit plan.

· Discuss how you created opportunities to promote health education that will positively contribute to a good quality of life for students and explain why this is important.

· Explain how your materials, resources, and technology can create engagement and motivation during science instruction.

Note:  Ensure your unit plan has been revised if instructor feedback was provided in prior topics.

Support your assignment with at least two scholarly resources.

While APA Style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

This assignment uses a rubric. Review the rubric before starting the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
