Technology with Measurements

It is so important for students to learn all measurements but this lesson plan would just address volume measurements. Our fun and exciting lesson plan would include a measurement power point project. I would provide the students with a sample and review the bibliography format with them as well. I would also give them a sample bibliography to take with them to the computer lab. My next step would be to schedule time over several days in the school's computer lab for my students to work on a three slide power point presentation. The first slide requirements would involve a list of ten measurements and one equivalent of each measurement. It would be required that this slide contain a clip art image. The second slide requirement would need to include an internet image and a short explanation of why measurements are important. The third slide would contain the bibliography.
This lesson plan could be used for grades four to six. The students would not be expected to complete it all in one day. The students would learn measurements and computer skills at the same time. All of these lessons could be used almost on a daily basis.
The lesson encompasses:
*Measurements
*Power point
*Clip Art
*Internet imagery
*Bibliography skills

I would allow time in our schedule to briefly view these power points. After watching the power points presentations the measurements should be reinforced in the students mind.

Nice job. Very well thought out.

I like the way you are incorporating your lesson, day by day, new concept and new assignment. Very interesting!

I like that you are getting the students involved in using powerpoint instead of making them sit and listen to a "powerpoint lecture". They will be more likely to learn something since they are actively involved and are to produce something of their own!

This seems like a lot of work for
4th grades, but they need to be pushed, so I think it's a good idea to have high expectations for your students.
