Grade Level 8          Focus Content : Science      Integrated Subjects: Social Studies, Math, ELA, Art, Technology and Engineering 

# data[].attributes.body
The Standards and Benchmarks that will be covered in our presentation:
Standard 8: Students inquire how organisms and populations of organisms obtain resources from their environmentScience (8.8.2) - Analyze the range of causes and effects underlying ecosystems’ continuous changes.

ELA (8.1.1) - Construct, ask, and respond to questions as a way to extend learning.

Math (8.8.1) - Define, determine, and demonstrate probability of events using simple experiments.

Social Studies (8.6.1) - Apply the concepts of conflict or cooperation to illustrate how holding diverse values and beliefs can contribute to or pose obstacles to cross-cultural understanding.

Art (4.3) - Analyze, describe, and demonstrate how factors of time and place (such as climate, resources, ideas, and technology) influence visual characteristics that mean and value a work of art.

Standard 8: Students inquire how organisms and populations of organisms obtain resources from their environment.

Benchmark: 8.8.2 Analyze the range of causes and effects underlying ecosystems’ continuous changes

Objective: SWBAT: List and Identify different sources of water by using pictorials and mapping.

Learning Activities
Focusing Event (10 min)
Read Aloud: Le Vai Ola-Water Is Life (Follow-up questions)

I Do: (10min)
The teacher will explain what Water is and how it is important, referring to the pictures and video. Use the YouTube Video "Sources of Water" and different pictures for students to identify the different sources of water.

We Do: (10 min)
Students work in groups to complete the chart by identifying different water sources/sheds found in their village.
Water Source | Uses
Example: Rain Water  | To wash my mom’s clothes

Independent Practice:
Assignment: On a Xerox paper, Draw a map of your village.  Locate on the map where each water source would most likely be available.

Assessment:
Formative Assessment

Each group will present their group work with listing different water sources from the chart.

2 Volunteers to display their individual work (Mapping) to the class.

Standard 8: Students inquire how organisms and populations of organisms obtain resources from their environment.

Benchmark: 8.8.2 Analyze the range of causes and effects underlying ecosystems’ continuous changes

Objective: SWBAT: Calculate the odds of building a solid model by creating a water tank for families to use.

Learning Activities

Focusing Event (10 min)

Watch the video and introduce the objective.

define the term probability.

I Do: (10min)
Display the picture of a water tank and it’s parts.

Have a class discussion on alternative locally found resources that can be used in place of each part of the water tank.

We Do: (10 min)
Create the water tank with the class using the water tank kit.

Independent Practice:
Divide students into 4 groups of 3.

Using the supplies provided, create a model of a water tank and test out its probability of holding, filtering, and gathering water in your groups.

Assessment:
Presentation of models
Testing of models

Standard 8: Students inquire how organisms and populations of organisms obtain resources from their environment.

Benchmark:
8.8.2 Analyze the range of causes and effects underlying ecosystems’ continuous changes
8.8.3 Analyze human impacts on ecosystems’ stability, and evaluate possible strategies to mitigate these impacts

Objective: SWBAT: List and explain ways to sustain water.

Learning Activities

Focusing Event (10 min)
Play clip at the bottom for students.

What is Sustainability?

I Do: (10min)
The teacher will introduce the presenters of the day from ASPA, Power Authority, Land Grandt, and Environmental Protection Agency.

American Samoa Power Authority (ASPA) - Water Source

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) - Protection/Safety of water source

Land Grant - Importance of water for plants

We Do: (10 min)
The class will be divided into 4 different groups and will use their devices to complete a PowerPoint project. Groups will create a PowerPoint presentation with 3+ slides to summarize what they have learned from the different presenters. They must include something interesting or important they have learned from each presentation.

Independent Practice:
Group presentations: each member will play a role during this presentation.

Assessment:
Formative Assessment
Exit Ticket: Kahoot!

Student groups will play a round of Kahoot with 3 correct answers to exit the classroom.

Standard 8: Students inquire how organisms and populations of organisms obtain resources from their environment.

Benchmark: 8.8.2 Analyze the range of causes and effects underlying ecosystems’ continuous changes

Objective: SWBAT: demonstrate the probability of events by creating different models of water uses for the water tank.

Learning Activities

Focusing Event (10 min)
Review the parts and model of the water tank from the previous lesson.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvEYYYMjs3Y

I Do: (10min)
Familiarize the students with the materials and objectives of the day. mini-lesson on water conservatories and flow pipes. With the Uses of Water video in the focusing event column.

discuss the term probability

Define the terms:

Define, Ideate, Prototype, and Test

We Do: (10 min)
Divide students into 5 groups:

1. Household,

2. Recreational

3.  Agriculture

4. Industrial

5. Electricity Generation

create a model of how you can use a straw to transfer water from the water tank to your water usage model from the provided water usage theme.
provide each group with a straw and materials to build a model of their choice. Showcase the youtube video to assist students in their brainstorming.

Independent Practice:
Divide students into 5 groups and create a presentation board for their model.

Make sure the presentation board consists of the following:

Define, Ideate, Prototype, and Test

Assessment:
Review the term probability and Define, Ideate, Prototype, and test
