Impact:

In this assignment, I organized, taught, and reflected on an inquiry-based science lesson. This lesson plan is suitable for fourth grade students. The lesson ultimately helps students understand the starch to sugar conversion process. In addition, this lesson plan meets the following North Carolina Science Standard Goal and Objective 4.04: Identify starches and sugars as carbohydrates. Furthermore, this lesson meets the North Carolina Mathematics Standard Goal and Objective 4.01, 4.03, and 4.04. The lesson plan has been created using the 5E Format. This format includes engagement, exploration, explanation, expansion, and evaluation. This lesson plan allows students to gain science knowledge through their own learning experiences. Moreover, this lesson plan ensures that students will be using  a variety of science process skills such as observing, communicating, measuring, and predicting. The orginal lesson plan, student packet, and reflection can be found at the bottom of this page as an attachment.
