Five E Lesson Plan Lesson Title/Topic: Life Processes!Grade Level: Second GradeMaterial, Resources, Technology: Book The Very Hungry Caterpillar, picture sorts of the butterfly life cycle, brown baggies for the picture sorts, construction paper to glue them down, glue, exit slipSpecific Observable Objective(s): Identify the order of the Butterfly life cycle from egg to adult. Related SOLs: 2.4The student will investigate and understand that plants and animals undergo a series of orderly changes in their life. Key concepts include:a. some animals (frogs and butterflies) undergo distinct stages during their lives, while others generally resemble their parentsEssential Vocabulary:Insect- is an animal that has three body parts and six legs.Metamorphosis- to change in form.Transparent- clear in color.Pupa- another word for a chrysalis.Larva- another word for a caterpillar.Assessment: I know that my students will have mastered my objective by filling out exit slip on stages of a butterfly life cycle.Learner Considerations: Students on more advanced level help as leaders in group activity and asking critical thinking questions. Teacher floats from group to group to identify any confusion. Representation- Options for presenting contentEngagement- options for engaging student interestExpression: Options for demonstrating learningCultural Considerations

Procedures: Engage:1. Ask students what life cycle have we gone over so far?2. Ask students if they know what the word metamorphosis means.3. Ask students to quietly raise their hands if they know what it means.4. Select one student to tell me what they think the word metamorphosis means. 5. Ask students if they have ever read The Very Hungry Caterpillar.6. Tell students that we will be reading The Very Hungry Caterpillar and afterwards we will be getting in groups that I assign, and I will be giving each group a baggie. Their baggy has cut outs of the butterfly life cycle. They will be figuring out the butterfly lifecycle and putting the pictures in order with the right arrows and words to go along with them.7. Call students over to the read aloud rug. 8. Ask students to think about the pictures, the colors, and what I am reading to them even if they have heard or read the story before. 9. Tell students to think about how this story goes along with the life cycle of a butterfly.10. Read The Very Hungry Caterpillar. 11. Ask students after the reading what they thought of the book, and if they had noticed things in the story that they had not before. 12. Tell students to go back to their seats. Explore:13. Tell students that they will be placed into four groups. (Groups have a leader in each.)14. Tell students I will be giving each group a bag that has all of the stages of a butterfly in them. Along with these pictures are words that you need to put together with the butterfly. There will be a couple that can have more than one label. Also there are four arrows to connect the butterfly together in its life cycle.15. Tell students I want you boys and girls to put the life cycle together as a group. You will be working together, so I expect you to talk to your friends, but in a partner voice. No outside voices. After you complete the life cycle, we will go over them as a class and then glue them down on a piece of construction paper.16. Give students time to put the life cycle together. 17. Walk around and monitor each group and help if necessary. (Ask students how they are doing with each stage)Explain:18. Tell students Boys and girls lets come back from our group time and look at how we put our life cycles together!19. Ask each group to tell how they put their life cycle together. 20. Ask students to encourage each other and help a friend out if their life cycle is incorrect.21. Tell students after their life cycles are correct that we will glue them down on construction paper and we will go over each stage of the life cycle. 22. Model with students how to glue down each picture in correct order. Elaboration:23. Ask students what they think about the different terms introduced to them. (what do you think larva means? What do you think the word pupa means?)24. Tell students that the word larva is the same as a caterpillar.25. Tell students that the word pupa is the same as a chrysalis.26. Ask students to fill out the exit slip on the stages of a butterfly. 27. Tell students that their ticket to recess is to fill out the exit slip by numbering and labeling each stage! Evaluation:Students evaluation on todays lesson will be based on how they fill out their exit slip, and based on their classroom participation, and group work participation.
