MATH: MAFS.4.OA.3.5 MAFS.4.MD.3.5 – Generate a number or shape pattern that follows a given rule. SCIENCE: SC.4.L.16.4 – Compare and contrast the major stages in the life cycles of Florida animals, such as those that undergo incomplete and complete metamorphosis. |
Learning Targets and Learning Criteria |
The student will: – Generate a number pattern that follows a given one- or two-step rule. – Identify features in number or shape patterns after following a given one- or two-step rule. – Recognize an angle as a geometric shape that is formed when two rays share a common endpoint. – Explain the relationship between a circle and the number of degrees in an angle (i.e., an angle is measured in reference to – Explain an angle as a series of “one-degree turns” and the total number of “one-degree turns” is the measure of the angle – Explain that since it takes 360 “one-degree turns” to rotate through a circle, 1/360 – Measure an angle to the nearest whole number degrees using a protractor. – Use a protractor to draw an angle of a given measurement. – Review that all living things have a life cycle. – Explore the life cycles of various animals living in Florida. – Describe complete metamorphosis (3 stages) using animals that undergo this change (grasshoppers, cockroaches, dragonflies). – Compare and contrast differences in body structures of the different stages (egg. larva, pupa, adult, nymph). – Differentiate between the major stages in life cycles of Florida animals including, but not limited to, those that undergo incomplete and complete metamorphosis. |
