Assignment 1 For this benchmark, you will create a week-long unit (five individual lessons) on life sciences integrated with health, preparing students for a science fair. The science fair unit will be based on the Life Sciences standards from NGSS integrated with health (aligned to national and state content standards).
Select a 1-8 grade level to design your unit. Use the “Class Profile” as background information on your students. Use the COE Lesson Plan template for each of the five lesson plans.
In your unit, design the five lesson plans so they:
Address the steps needed to prepare for a science fair:
Pick a topic to investigate
Research the topic
Create a hypothesis to test
Design the experiment to test the hypothesis
Collect data
Analyze the data and draw conclusions
Create a presentation of findings for the fair
