Concept Mapping Activity

Animals Cells and Plant cells Lesson plan:

I choose animals cells and plant cells as a lesson that I want to explain it to fifth - grade students.

The objectives of the lesson are:

·      The students will be able to identify the differences and similarities between animal’s cells and plant cells with aid of concept map as reflected in the chart in the textbook (page 47).

·      The students will be to create a model for animal cells and plant cells using their choices of tools based on chick list.

The procedures of the lesson:

1.     I will check students' prior knowledge about cells.

2.     Explaining that although all cells from living things share some common characteristics, cells from plants and animals have important differences.

3.     Showing students a concept map of which clarifies the difference and similarities between animal’s cells and plant cells.

4.     Ask students to apply their knowledge by making their own plant and animal "cells" as a model by using their choices of tools to understand the differences in their structures.

5.     Discussing their works together.

6.     Providing immediate feedback for students about their works.
Here is a concept map of Animals Cells and Plant cells that I will show it for students:
