Lesson Objectives:
By the end of the
lesson, a child will be able to
i.
explain a food chain
based on feeding relationships correctly.
ii.
build food chain based on the feeding
relationship observed in the link provided and represent it in game.
I introduced my lesson by a brainstorming session by asking questions on how plants and animals are interdependent, what sort of foods are eaten by human beings, and what do plants need for growth and development to conceptualize the feeding relationship among the organisms in nature. Then I projected the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFloV2J-eKI and delivered the lesson to explore the food chain and food web. My learners identified as many food chains from the food web using the information from the link provided. The learner indicated the producer and consumers (primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary) in the food chain through discussion.
In the lesson development part, the learners shared their reflection on the consequences of removing one of the organisms from the food web, on the ecosystem from the food web picture
Learners constructed
their food chain with the feeding relationship in pairs. I took the photo of
their finished work and shared it on screen for discussion. They reflected on
the consequences of removing one of the organisms from the food web, on the
ecosystem. The learner indicates the producer and consumers (primary,
secondary, tertiary, and quaternary) in the food chain identified.
Also, I have identified low achievers to
begin the game first as there are 4 food chains and as each group completes
each food chain, the next group gets a more challenging food chain to build.
For assessment, again
students in the same group were given the link https://toybox.tools.bbc.co.uk/activities/id/gm2zlfh9hq/exitGameUrl/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bbc.co.uk%2Fbitesize%2Ftopics%2Fzbnnb9q%2Farticles%2Fz93vdxs/palette/colour-palette-7/language/en-GB/project/blocks-bitesize to play food chain challenge game. It was fun
for students and seen students discuss more, some argue to pick the items for chain
of food.
My lesson went well,
however, with the non-availability computer lab and poor network connection; it
always remains a challenge for me to integrate ICT in my lesson. With the only
laptop, my students need to take turns to complete each task, and observed that
some students were very excited to explore the game without a time limit. For
the next lesson, am encouraged to borrow at least a laptop for each group of
four in my lesson, to let my learners explore more on ICT. I also observed that
it’s very difficult for my students to balance the cursor as they didn’t get to
fiddle computers. I realize in the lesson development part that facilitating
food chain and food wed together was quite lengthy and difficult to achieve my
objective, so I emphasis more on the food chain and decided to take another
lesson for the food web. So, in my next lesson, I will take account of time
distribution and plan properly.
Thank You.
