Lesson
Class #: December 5th, 2018 – 1:59-3:00 Course Grade 4 Science
Title/Focus
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
At the end of the lesson students will be able to:
1. Define what rollers are and what they can be used for. (Remembering)
2. Construct a simple machine that will move a textbook from one end of the table to the other.
(Applying)
3. Design a title page for the Wheels and Levers unit using Canva and included at least 5 different
examples. (Creating)
PROCEDURE
Introduction Time
• Have Google Slide Wheels and Levers presentation displayed on the Smartboard,
just on the title slide.
• “Okay Grade 4! Let’s finish up our Last Chance Snacks and clean up so we 2 min
can begin our Science demonstration for today!”
Body Time
Roller 1) Set the recycling bin at the front of the class and then climb
Demonstration in. 12 min
2) Challenge one of the students to attempt to push me in the
2
recycling bin.
What is a Roller 1) Move Google Slide presentation to the next slide. (What are
rollers?)
2) “Let’s talk about what rollers are! Does anyone have
any ideas?” (Allow for 5-6 responses)
3) Move Google Slide presentation to the next slide with the
definition of rollers.
4) “Rollers are cylinders that are used together to move
5 min
objects with reduced friction. Sliding objects can create
friction. Using a roller system can reduce this friction
and makes better use of energy. Some examples of
Rollers are: rolling pin, plates roller, rolls of paper, hair
curlers, and conveyor belts.”
5) “Does anyone have any questions?”
Make Your Own 1) “Now, I want you to make your own roller system to
move a textbook! You will be working in partners,
which I have pre-assigned and are displayed on the
Smartboard. When I say go, I want one group member
to come to the back shelf to get a textbook and 5 rhythm
sticks. Then I want you to collaborate and use the
rollers to move your text book at least the length of the
table. You can complete this on the table top or on the 12 min
floor beside the table. You will have 8 minutes to
complete this activity. Are there any questions? Go!”
2) Set an 8 minute timer in the Class Dojo.
3) Circulate around the classroom and formatively assess
whether the students are on task or not and if they are
understanding the activity.

Canva Title Page 1) “Does everyone remember learning about Canva from
Mr. Eirich last week? Today we are going to make a
title page for our Wheels and Levers Science unit!”
Conclusion Time
• “We have one more thing we need to do today before we clean up. I need you
to fill out this Exit Sticky Note when I hand it out to you. This is just for me
to see what you learned in today’s lesson. There are three questions: what is a
roller; what can a roller be used for; and what are some questions that you
still have. Please fill them out as best you can. When you have finished filling 5 min
them out, please stick them to the door.”
• After class, collect the Sticky Notes and formatively assess what concepts the
students learned and what ones still need reinforcement.
Assessment
• Formative: Questioning and Discussion. This ensures that the students are understanding the
concepts before I continue with the lesson. This assessment fulfills Learning Objectives one, two,
and three.
• Formative: Exit Slip Sticky Notes. This informs me if the students understood the concepts
taught in the lesson, if any concepts need to be revisited, and if they have any further or additional
questions. This assessment fulfills Learning Objective one.
