There are essentially three sides to the education paradigm: What to teach, how to teach, and how to assess. Teachers must identify what standards to teach, along with how they intend to teach the content, and how they will assess learning. When developing a science unit, teachers must also determine the scope and sequence of the content (related to the what and how they will teach) across multiple lessons.

For this assignment, use the “3-Day Unit Plan Template” to design a science unit based on one or more state science standards for your field experience grade level Pre-K. You may refer to previous work in this course to inform this assignment. GELD standards area attached for science below. 

Your unit should include:

Developmentally-appropriate engaging science instruction that is aligned to standards and guides students through learning progressions.

Pre- and post-assessment activities aligned to science standards and learning objectives that identify individual student needs and verify student learning.

Below the “Unit Plan Template,” write a reflection on the process of creating a unit plan and explain some of the choices you made relating to the pre-assessment, post-assessment, and instructional methods you included in your unit plan. How does pre- and post-assessment data inform future instruction?
