Unit Implementation Strategies
The delivery of the lesson plans and activities mentioned in the section below will include a variety of instructional strategies to provide learning that meets the individual needs of students. On day one of instruction I will address auditory learners by giving a lecture on the pancreas, while at the same time addressing kinesthetic learners with note taking and coloring exercises. The students will engage in a note taking strategy that will require them to write down main details and summarize information. Both visual and kinesthetic learners will be engaged on day two of the lesson implementation with a role play activity incorporating the functions of the pancreas. Students will also be able to use the creative side of their brain to create a story in the life of a glucose molecule. On day three the students will observe a demonstration and then apply the knowledge to create their own experiment to demonstrate facilitated diffusion. Students will be conducting an experiment and writing a lab report that incorporates many of the characteristics of science such as measurement, communicating scientific information, and using models to represent real life occurrences. On days four and five the students will take the information that they have learned in the classroom and apply it to real life situations. In the culminating activity the students will be able to display all of their work from the two weeks in an effort to bring awareness to others about diabetes and raise money for continued research that will bring about a cure for diabetes.
