Prepare the Materials: The students and I will travel to
the school's library/computer lab for this lesson. The school’s computers
have internet connectivity already linked online. At least 5 computers will
be needed; One computer per group of 4 students.
Prepare the Environment:5 large tables will be separated
with 4 chairs with one computer at each station for each group. The students
are not to access the computer until needed, after they collected the data
needed to input into the computers to make the graphs. I will give the “Go
Ahead” to access the computers after I have verified their data collections. Prepare the Learner:Students
were already informed of how to properly read a nutrition label, and use the
online tool “ChartGo” assigned to them as homework prior to this class lesson
session. However, they can refer to the resources and or media during the
class session if needed.
Methods: Cooperative Learning Groups Students will be
placed into five (5) groups of four (4). Each member will have to contribute
and participate in order to get full credit.
Materials: Images of breakfast cereals with corresponding
nutrition label Students will use the images for discussion and to collect
sugar, salt and fat information
1. Cinnamon Toast Crunch
2. Cheerios
3. Reese Puffs
4. Frosted Flakes
5. Special K
6. Coco Pebbles
Computer: In their groups, the students will use the
computer to document their data and access the internet to create their
charts with their data. They can also refer to online resources and media to
assist them with their work.
Printer: After the students compile their data and create
their charts, they will print it and submit it to me.
Internet: The students will use the internet to access
media and also the “ChartGo” website. The use of the internet will only be
permitted after the students have complied their needed data prior to the
need of the internet
Resources:
∙ Data Collection Sheet (Paper):
This would just be a scratch sheet for students write any needed information
to further their progress in the lesson. This also could be where they
document their data prior to making the chart online.
Computer: Students will be placed into groups of four and
create a bar graph on the Internet comparing the sugar, salt, and fat of all
breakfast cereals.
Printer: This will be used to create a hard copy of each
group’s graphs.
Internet: Teacher will use this to access the YouTube
video, online information, and tutorials (Media). Students will also use this
to access the website where they will create their graphs. Handouts:
∙ Data Collection Sheet: Students
will use this to record their data for each of their cereals.
