Continue with questions to peak students’ interests: “Why do you think people go
hungry?”
Brainstorm with class and write ideas on the board.
Instruction: Students acquire new information.
Let’s pretend that your family just moved to India, and your father earns $3.00 a day.
What things or food can you buy for $3.00? Do you think $3.00 can feed a family of 4
every day?
Teacher reviews the values of coins used to purchase goods: quarter, dime, nickel, and
penny.
Teacher provides students a small bag of play money and as a class have the students
to identify coins by holding coin up and give value out loud.
Then teacher introduces various items with prices on them that students can buy with
the money in their bags:
Guided Practice: Teacher supervises the students as they practice new learning.
Have the students go in groups of three and have students repeat the same activity by
giving their partners various amounts of money. Give students time to repeat this
activity several times and play with the coins.
Teacher goes around and checks to see if students are understanding the activity and
values of coins.
Give each store owner a three to four minute limit so that each group member has
time to be the store owner at these once. Teacher monitors group work and
provides assistance when needed. Teacher will go around to assess and give
feedback to students. This way, students will know if they are counting the money
correctly as they buy products from the store owner.

“If you were the boss of the playground, [the school, the world, etc.] what would you do
to make it a better place?
I would like to stop.
I think should change.”
Students will work together to fnalize their timeline and their plan for carrying out the

Earth Day Groceries Project
Synopsis
Closure:
It was surprising to see that the majority of the students did not
think that their actions do not contribute to climate changes. I
felt that the students enjoyed hearing the evidence that others
provided as to how humans contribute or do not contribute to
global warming. The discussions got a bit heated. It was good
to have the students hear various point of views so though so that
1) they sharpen their reasoning skills, and 2) they become more
tolerant of other people’s perspectives.
