SRT Lesson Idea
SRT Lesson Idea
☐ Infusion Level: Students may work at a higher Bloom’s Level, but they do not have any “Voice or Choice”
during the activity and most of the decisions are made by the teacher.
☒ Integration Level: We would like to see ALL lessons/activities reach this level. The project is student-
driven. Students have “Voice and Choice” in the activities, selecting the topic of study and determining the
technology tool to demonstrate mastery of the standard. The teacher becomes more of a facilitator.
☐ Expansion Level: The projects created are shared outside of the classroom, publishing student work and
promoting authorship. This could be reached by showcasing the project on the school’s morning
newscast, posting the project to the classroom blog, or publishing via an outside source.
Describe the instructional activities that will occur PRIOR to the SRT activity and how you will introduce

Student Response and Assessment Tools
The teacher will open the lesson by playing the BrainPOP video that introduces the difference between
physical and chemical changes on the smart board. After this video is over, the teacher will pass out the
graphic organizers to each student. The graphic organizer will include definitions and indicators of physical
and chemical changes listed at the top for students to reference as well as sections for the students to record
their answers and observations for each station in the activity. While the teacher is passing out the papers,
the teacher and students will discuss what they saw and learned from the video.
After the discussion about the content of the video, the teacher will review the definitions with the students
of physical and chemical changes. The teacher will ask for student volunteers to read the indicators of each.
The teacher will then explain the activity to the students. The students will move with their table groups
around the room to each of the four stations set up around the room (pictures of before and after the
changes occurred hanging on the walls). The students will identify if the change is physical or chemical and list
one reason/ indicator supporting their answer. They will record their answers on the graphic organizer. The
students may discuss what they observe and what they think as they examine and analyze each station. The
students will have 5-7 minutes at each station and they will rotate clockwise to the next station until each
student has had a chance to visit each of the four stations.
The students will then go back to their seats. The teacher will ask students to share what they saw at each
station. Students will explain if there was a physical change or chemical change and explain why they believe
they are correct.
The teacher will then explain that the students will complete a short Kahoot quiz. The teacher will display the
code to join the game on the Smartboard. Each student will get onto a chrome book laptop and log onto the
quiz using their name and the code displayed on the board. After all the students have joined, the teacher will
start the quiz. The students will try to answer each question as quickly as they can to get the most points. The
teacher will reveal the student with the highest score at the end of the game.
To end the lesson, the students will be able to play the physical and chemical changes puzzle game. As the
students play the game, the teacher will walk around the room and address any misconceptions that the
students showed they had during the Kahoot game.

☐ Assess prior knowledge ☐ Anticipatory set (Create interest in a topic) ☒ To illuminate common
misconceptions ☒ Formative assessment of content knowledge (for purpose of differentiation and
mastery for ALL students) ☐ Summative assessment of content knowledge ☐ Test preparation
☐ Survey/Poll ☐ Discussion starter ☐ “Homework” collection ☐ Other (please explain):
