 * Science Lesson**

1) Grade 1, Air Under Water

2) Students will: 1. Explore the question, “Is there air under water, and how can we find out?”  2. Use given materials to find air under water and explain what form they see it in.  3. Students will use this new information along with their prior knowledge to start to grasp the concept that air takes up space.  4. Record accurate observations in words and drawings.  5. Work in groups to answer the question.

3) Assessment Criteria and instrument - in the lesson plan Lesson Plan****

4) From the student work below, we see that there was a large range of correctness in the student work. The majority of the work from the class was similar to students 1 and 2. These two students showed that they understood all or most of the material that we covered. They clearly wrote their answers and crossed of the answers they used in the box at the bottom. When we look at student 3's work we notice that nothing is spelled right and it looks like she just guessed. It can be assumed that this lesson is not all that she has trouble with.

5) Student Work - Student Work 1 Student Work 2 Student Work 3

6) For the whole class, I would spend more time discussing the meanings of the words on the assessment. I would have students complete some type of activity before the assessment to find the definitions of the words and so on. The class did very well with this investigation as a whole. I would move on to the next lesson. For student 1 and 2 I think that they will be fine moving on. Student 3 may need extra help when it comes to the next few lessons. They will probably need specific help with vocabulary and conceptual understanding.
