UNIT PLAN TEMPLATE
LOGISTICSTeacher: Elisa Rainey
Grade(s) Level(s): Kindergarten/ScienceTitle of Unit: All About Frogs
Length of Unit: 5 days
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND RATIONALE
Students will be able to describe how frogs change as they grow.
Students will be able to classify frogs and toads according to their body structure.
Students will be able to identify movements of frogs.
Students will be able to compare basic needs of frogs and humans.
Students will be able to identify frogs and categorize them.
Students will be able to recognize the similarities and differences between frogs.
According to research, young students work well in cooperative learning environments. Students will be
actively involved in exploring facts about frogs. Students will learn simple skills like: observation, compare and
contrast, sort, sequence, and graph and extend their curiosity about frogs. Through this science lesson, studentswill broaden their concepts of living things as they learn about the development of frogs. Students will learn
about the life cycle of the frog, where they live, and the kind of foods they eat. Students will apply what they
have learned about frogs by asking questions and seeking answers when they arise. Furthermore, the students
will be able to continue making new observations about different animals using these simple skills.
NC Essential Standards K.L.1 Compare characteristics of animals that make them alike and different
from other animals and nonliving things.
Clarifying Objectives:
K.L.1.1 Compare different types of the same animal (i.e. frogs/toads etc.) todetermine individual differences within a particular type of animal.
K.L.1.2 Compare characteristics of living and nonliving things in terms of their:
Structure
Growth
Changes
Movement
Basic needs
ESSENTIAL QUESTION(S)

How can I compare the frogs and toads to see how they are alike and different?
UNIT OVERVIEWPlan for integration (graphic organizer as a digital image)
Prerequisite teacher content knowledge (may be bullet points; include essential vocabulary)
Knowledge of different types of frogs. Draw from experience with frog.
Details and facts about different types of frogs, where they live, and what is unique about them (howthey protect themselves from predators).
Know community pet stores to contact to bring in different types of frogs. Students that have frogs aspets are invited to bring them into to class.
Essential vocabulary includes: similarities, differences, living, non-living, metamorphosis, life cycle,
record, data, observation, amphibian, and hibernate, croak, gills, habitat, poison, tadpole, froglet, .
CONSIDERATIONS ABOUT THE LEARNERS
Prior knowledge
Students know living and nonliving things are made of parts and people give names to the parts that are
different from the name of the whole object, plant or animal. Students know that the parts of living and
nonliving things work best as a whole and some objects can easily be taken apart and put back together
again while other objects cannot be taken apart without damaging them (e.g., books, pencils, plants, and
animals). Students know that some of the characteristics that all animals share that can be used tocompare living and nonliving things. At this grade level, it is appropriate to define living things as
anything that is alive or has ever been alive and nonliving things as anything that is not now or has ever
been alive.
Unique Learner Characteristics (accommodations and differentiation)
For students that have learning disabilities such as dyslexia, ADHD, etc., the teacher will incorporate
differentiated learning. (Ex. If a student is having difficulty in writing, the students can tell the teacher
-
7/24/2019 Standard 3 Unit Plan - Artifact
3/24
orally what is to be written and student then copies what the teacher wrote which is actually the
students thoughts.)
For hearing impaired students, teacher (or presenters) use sign language and/or wear FM device ifrequired to allow for direct input.
For low achieving students, extra time is given for them to complete assignments. Students that finishearly can peer tutor low achieving student.
CONSIDERATIONS ABOUT THE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
Physical space:
The four tables will allow four groups of five to six students to share, discuss, and peer review while working
on projects. Students will gather on large carpet area for presentations. Teacher will have a separate area for
viewing frogs brought in. Various materials about frogs will be placed throughout the room in the centers thatstudents use. Items will also be placed on walls for display.
Temporal resources:
The unit design is for 30 minutes per day for five days and will be integrated with other subject areas. It will be
effective and enjoyable to incorporate animals into dramatic play areas, social studies, math, literature, andwriting to expand upon and further understand the unique characteristics of different types of frogs.

Book See Me Growby Penelope Arlon and Tory Gordon-Harris
Teaching strategies:Differentiation strategies should be infused throughout. Differentiate for content, product, and process.
Introductory strategies
Were you born the size you are right now? Students will think-pair-share with their partner how they got to be
the size they are now? Students will share with the rest of the class and the teacher will record their responseson chart paper. Teacher will read See Me Growby Penelope Arlon and Tory Gordon-Harris. We will discuss the
stages of growth.
Main instructional strategies
Teacher will give students magnetic pictures of various objects. Students will think-pair-share with their partner
if the items help them grow or frogs grow. There will be three columns on the board, labeled, help me to
grow/helps me and frogs grow/ help frogs to grow. Each group will come up to the board and put their picturewhere they think it belongs. The group will then tell the class why they think it helps them, frogs and them, or
frogs to grow. Class will give feedback to each item. Teacher will show video of the frog life cycle which will
discuss the stages of frogs life. Teacher will ask the students will you stay this size forever. What do you think
the stages are for humans? Teacher will use cold calls and will have discussion with the class.

Concluding strategies
Students will sequence pictures of frogs in order by how they grow and change. They will glue the pictures to
construction paper and number the pictures. Students will put together frog life cycle wheel and book.
Assessment (utilize a blend of traditional and performance assessments):
Teacher will pre-assess students as they respond during the introductory strategy. Teacher will observe studentsas they place pictures on the help me grow/help me and frogs grow/help frogs grow chart. Formative assessment
is done as teacher circulates the class as students sequence and put the frog life cycle wheel and book together.

Introductory strategies
Do frogs and toads have teeth? Think about it for a moment and when I say go get with your assigned partner
and think-pair-share why or why you dont think frogs and toads have teeth. Do frogs have long hind legs or
short legs? Is a toad a frog? Teacher use cold calls to have students answer question. Why do you think that?Im going to read a book titledFrogsby Elizabeth Carney which will talk about where frogs live, the size and
color of frogs, and gives a comparison of frogs and toads. I want you to listen for the answers to our questions.Do frogs have teeth, do the frogs have long hind legs or short legs, and is a toad a frog?
Main instructional strategies
Is your tongue long and sticky? Students stick out their tongues trying to examine them. Feel the top of your
head. Students feel the top of their head. Are there two bulgy eyes like marbles up there? Are your eyes on thetop of your head? Are you a frog? Teacher readsFrogsby Elizabeth Carney. Splish, splash. What is that sound?
Students look around trying to hear what teacher is talking about. What is hopping and jumping around? Some
students will guess out loud, a frog. What loves to swim? What loves to eat bugs? Its a frog! Can you hop like
a frog? What do frogs use to hop? Students reply legs. Students will explore and observe to answer the
questions. After each question teacher will stop and allow children to observe and answer.
Concluding strategies
The class will make a list on chart paper comparing and contrasting humans to frogs using a 3 column chart.
Teacher will ask the children to determine if they are a frog or a human. In their journal, students will write aresponse to the following question: why are you not a frog? Students may draw pictures and/or words to answer
the question.
Assessment (utilize a blend of traditional and performance assessments):
Teacher will pre-assess to see if students can identify with the characteristics of humans and frogs. Teacher will
also use formative assessment through observation of students during the lesson. The journal entry will allow
teacher to determine if students can identify characteristics that are unique to frogs.
EC Accommodations/modifications to strategies or assessments:
Student with learning disability: Teacher will work with this student allowing him/her to dictate what they want
to write. Teacher will write it and the student will have to copy it.
Hearing impaired student will sit up front during group time. Teacher wears FM device and checks with the
student regularly to see if they have any questions.
Low achieving student: Teacher will allow student to have extra time to complete journal entry.

Introductory strategies
Teacher will place a magnetic picture of a dog, bird, bunny, person, cat, fish, and groundhog on the whiteboard.
Pick one thing and tell me one way it moves? Teacher calls on students that have their hands raised and then
cold call other students. As students say how they move, teacher records the answers under the pictures.
Main instructional strategies
Teacher will show images of frogs jumping, swimming, burrowing, climbing, gliding, walking and running. As
the pictures are shown, the teacher cold calls asking what makes it possible for the frogs to be able to move that
way. Teacher will show pictures of frogs feet. Are their feet the same? How are they different? Students think-pair-share and decide which frog movement the feet would match. Would sticky feet or webbed feet help the
frog swim? What would sticky feet help the frog do? Students give their answers and teacher makes any
clarifications if needed.
Concluding strategies
Students will fold a piece of paper into fourths. They will label each section with one of the headings: jumping,swimming, walking, or gliding. Students will cut and paste pictures of frogs according to their movement.
Assessment (utilize a blend of traditional and performance assessments):

Students will be able to compare basic needs of frogs and humans.
Essential question(s) from learning objective(s):
How are frog and human basic needs alike and different?
Common Core/NC Essential Standard(s):
NC Essential Standards K.L.1 Compare characteristics of animals that make them alike and differentfrom other animals and nonliving things.
Clarifying Objectives:
K.L.1.1 Compare different types of the same animal (i.e. different types of dogs, different types of cats,
etc.) to determine individual differences within a particular type of animal.
K.L.1.2 Compare characteristics of living and nonliving things in terms of their basic needs
Learner prior knowledge/learner background experiences:
Students know that all animals are living things that have basic needs to stay alive. Animals need air, water,
food, and shelter for protection. If an organism does not get everything that it needs to stay alive, it will die. By
comparing these characteristics of several animals, students begin to classify things as living and nonliving
based on these characteristics.

Differentiation strategies should be infused throughout. Differentiate for content, product, and process.
Introductory strategies
What do you think frogs need to survive? Student will write a descriptive word or draw a picture on a sticky
note and post it on a whiteboard splash. Teacher will guide students as they place their notes on the board tocreate a chart. What do humans need to survive? Students will write a descriptive word or draw a picture of a
human need on a sticky note and post it on the whiteboard as well under the human side and teacher will guide
them as they post it to create a chart.
Main instructional strategies
What are things we need to survive? Teacher will use cold call to discuss with the class their answers of whathumans need to survive. Teacher will record answers on chart paper shaped as a person. You said we need air,
food, water, and shelter which are our basic needs. What do frogs need to survive? Students will think-pair-
share and discuss with the class their answers of frogs needs. Teacher will record answers on chart paper shaped
as a frog. Teacher will record and compare similarities and differences on a Venn diagram.
Concluding strategies
Students will get into four groups of four and one group of five. Each group will have a group leader, recorder,
illustrator, and presenter. Teacher will assign group leaders and he/she will determine who will carry out otherroles for this activity. Teacher will make adjustments if needed. Students will have the shaped chart paper as a
reference to make a presentation on how basic needs of frogs and humans are alike and different.
Assessment (utilize a blend of traditional and performance assessments):
Teacher will pre-assess as students do a whiteboard splash of things humans and frogs need to survive.
Formative assessment is done as teacher records student answers on chart. Teacher will do a summative
assessment as groups do presentations.
EC Accommodations/modifications to strategies or assessments:
Student with learning disability will have a role in the group where he/she is strong.
Hearing impaired student: Teacher will assist to make sure the student understands and give further explanation
if needed.
Low achieving student will have a role in the group where he/she is strong.

BookFrogsby Elizabeth Carney
BookFrogsby Gail Gibbons
Teaching strategies:Differentiation strategies should be infused throughout. Differentiate for content, product, and process.
Introductory strategies
Teacher will show Learn 360 video Frog or Toad: How do you know?
http://www.learn360.com/ShowVideo.aspx?player=12&ID=150198&fid=3166985&type=Playlist&ugid=-1&pid=776861
Main instructional strategies
What did you learn from the video? As students give answers, teacher records them on chart paper. Teacher
makes three columns for frogs, toads and similarities between frogs and toads. We will reference two books,
Frogsby Gail Gibbons andFrogsby Elizabeth Carney. What are some things Gail Gibbons mention about
frogs? Students look at the book and name things the arrows point to about frogs. Teacher record answers in
appropriate section on three column chart. What are some things Elizabeth Carney mentions about frogs?Students look at her book and name things the arrows point to. Was there anything different? Teacher records
student responses. They will do the same thing for the toad.
Concluding strategies
Teacher will give students hold-up picture cards of frogs and toads, she will name a characteristic of a frog or a
toad and the students will hold up the frog card if the statement is about the frog or the toad card if the statementis about the toad.
Students will cut out and paste characteristics of frogs and toads on a three column Venn diagram.
Students will summarize what they have learned in three sentences or less.
Assessment (utilize a blend of traditional and performance assessments):
Teacher will pre-assess as students report what they learned from the video. Formative assessment is done
during hold-ups. Teacher will see if students understand the difference between frogs and toads.
EC Accommodations/modifications to strategies or assessments:
Student with learning disability will do a board=paper activity as teacher records similarities and differences
between frogs and toads.
Hearing impaired student: Teacher will wear FM device, student will sit in the front during group time, and
Closed Captions will be used as needed.
Low achieving student will be allowed extra time to complete assignment.

Eggs
The female frog lays clusters ofeggs in or near the water.
Tadpole
Tiny tadpoles hatch from theeggs. Tadpoles swim in fresh
water and breathe with gills.
Growing TadpoleAs a tadpole grows, it
develops legs.
FrogletThe tadpole becomes a froglet; it
has 4 legs, breathes with lungs,
and loses its tail.
