Next have their attention turned back to the
white board and describe the steps we will
go through to create the earthworm habitat.
Walk through each step and have the
students perform the steps along with the
teacher, paced so the students do not have a
lot of down time, but so as not to rush so
they have time to discover and explore.
Students are building 1 habitat per table.
Students will have to work together, test the
soil together and share supplies (students
use their lab numbers to keep this
organized) etc. Students are to record their
observations and data as they go along
through the lab process.

Assessment: How will you know students have achieved the learning objectives? What evidence will you look for and/or collect?
I will use formative assessment throughout the lesson to be sure everyone is with me using thumbs up and thumbs down. I will use
proximity to observe their lab forms as they are filling them out. I will also use proximity to listen in on their discussions during the
lab. Finally their submitted lab form will also be an informal assessment tool.
Standards:

places on land and in water. (2-LS4-1)
