The reading passages will help students understand and master the vocabulary needed in this area of physical science.  \nMaterials Needed:  \n􀁸 Warm-up Labeling Exercise Unit 2.2 Handout 1  \n􀁸 Video “Basic Atomic Structure” Unit 2.2 Video (time 1:56 min.)  \n􀁸 Comprehension reading Unit 2.2 Handout 2  \n􀁸 Main Idea reading,“Splitting the Atom,” Unit 2.2 Handout 3  (Spectrum Science, Grade 6, pages 26-27)  \nObjectives: Students will be able to    \n􀁸 Activate prior knowledge about matter, atoms, and molecules  \n􀁸 Read passages with applied vocabulary related to matter, atoms, and molecules College and Career Readiness Standards: RI, RST, WHST, LS, ACES Skills Addressed: EC, LS, ALS, CT, SM  \nNotes: Please review and be familiar with classroom routine notes for: reading for fluency strategies ( Routine 2 ), summarizing techniques ( Routine 4 ), self-management skills ( Routine 4 ) . The notes will help with making a smooth transition to each activity.  \nGED 2014 Science Test Overview – For Teachers and Students  \nThe GED Science Test will be 90 minutes long and include approximately 34 questions with a total score value of 40. The questions will have focus on three content areas: life science (~40%), physical science (~40%), and Earth and space science (~20%) . Students may be asked to read, analyze, understand, and extract information from a scientific reading, a news brief, a diagram, graph, table, or other material with scientific data and concepts or ideas.  \nThe online test may consist of multiple choice, drop down menu, and fill-in-the-blank questions. There will also be a short answer portion (suggested 10 minutes) where students may have to summarize, find evidence (supporting details), and reason or make a conclusion from the information (data) presented.  \nThe work students are doing in class will help them with the GED Science Test. They are also learning skills that will help in many other areas of their lives.  \nH. Turngren, Minnesota Literacy Council, 2014 p.1 GED Science Curriculum  \nSCIENCE  \nLesson 2.2: Physical Science – Atoms and Molecules  \nActivities:  \n\n| Warm-Up: Label Parts of Atom Unit 2.2 Handout 1 | Time: 10-15 minutes |\n| --- | --- |\n| As students enter the class, have them work on labeling the parts of the atom in Unit 2.2 Handout 1. This is a way for students to test their knowledge about the parts of atoms. It is review information from the previous lesson. If students were not here for Unit 2.1 Matter, have them work with other students who were in the class. Review the labeled document with whole class. While students are working on labeling the parts of the atom, circulate and ask them questions to get them to use the vocabulary in their response. This is a way to have students become more familiar with the vocabulary and to use it in their answers. You may ask questions such as “What small particle of an atom carries a negative charge?” (electron) or “What is the basic building block of all matter?”(atom) |  |\n\n\n| Activity 1: Review of Atoms (video) | Time: 10 – 15 minutes |\n| --- | --- |\n| 1) Show the “Basic Atomic Structure” video to review atoms with the class. The video is 1:56 minutes in length. The narrator has an accent, which students may have to get used to, however the information is presented in a very straightforward fashion.\u003Cbr>2) Have students watch the video and look at their labeled diagram from the warm-up activity (Unit 2.2 Handout 1).\u003Cbr>3) Ask students to think of questions they may have after watching the video.\u003Cbr>4) If possible, answer the questions students may have. If you are not able to answer their questions, you may want to write them down and answer during the next class, or use a Google search to find an answer in class.\u003Cbr","cbCaihJQ5E5AdrWQ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihJQ5E5AdrWQ","pdf",1234332,11,"English","# Weekly Focus: Reading\n## Weekly Skill: Comprehension\n# Materials Needed\n# Objectives\n# Activities\n## Warm-Up: Label Parts of Atom\n## Activity 1: Review of Atoms (video)\n## Activity 2: Comprehension Reading\n## Activity 3: Main Idea Reading","[{\"question\":\"What is the main weekly focus and skill for Lesson 2.2?\",\"answer\":\"The weekly focus is reading, and the weekly skill is comprehension.\"},{\"question\":\"What should students do during the warm-up activity?\",\"answer\":\"Students label the parts of the atom using Unit 2.2 Handout 1, review it with the whole class, and use atom vocabulary in responses.\"},{\"question\":\"How do students demonstrate understanding after the comprehension reading?\",\"answer\":\"After answering comprehension questions, students summarize the reading in 3 to 5 sentences to self-assess whether they understand the material.\"}]","Lesson 2.2: Physical Science - Atoms and Molecules - Reading | PDF",1790849956,28]
