UDL+Revised+Lesson+Plan

This page contains both the original and revised lesson plan for our Universal Design for Learning Project. The goals of this project were to: The objectives of the lesson were: The objectives of the lesson were:
 * Examine an existing lesson for features and barriers to instruction
 * Propose revisions to reduce barriers and enhance learner's experience with the lesson
 * Enact UDL-supported approaches to include multiple means of expression, multiple means of representation and other essential UDL principles.
 * **Existing Lesson** || **Revised Lesson** ||
 * The existing lesson was a science lesson for 5th grade students.
 * Students will recall vocabulary associated with the study of gravity.
 * Students will be able to explain gravity as a scientific force.
 * Using scientific reasoning, students will draft a letter to Sir Issac Newton posing questions about gravity.
 * Students will complete a quiz on the properties of gravity. || The revised lesson was a science lesson for 5th grade students.
 * Students will develop a series of questions to investigate the subject of gravity.
 * Students will review the scientific method of inquiry by watching a video on physics experiments.
 * Students, individually, will post a hypotheses about each of their investigative questions.
 * Students, in small groups, will perform their own experiments to investigate the answers to their questions.
 * Students will draft responses to the questions as a result of the experiments.
 * Students will research their responses for validity by performing a webquest about gravity. ||
