Question: Science supports the natural curiosity of young children. At an early age, all children have the capacity to observe, explore, and discover. When teaching science to young children, teachers should balance the use of formal educational opportunities for scientific discovery and exploration (e.g., designed classroom experiments with predetermined materials) with informal opportunities (e.g., allowing students to play with materials and observe their physical properties or letting students verbally describe their observations while walking or hiking in nature). For this assignment, use the "COE Lesson Plan Template" to design a science lesson that integrates technology and one other content area (literacy, mathematics, or the creative arts). Collaborate with your mentor teacher to select an appropriate state science standard, so you can teach this lesson during your next clinical field experience. Include the following in the indicated sections of the lesson plan template: Lesson Summary and Focus: Describe how literacy, mathematics, or the creative arts will be integrated into developmentally appropriate science instruction . State Learning Standards and Objectives: Select a science standard and ensure the objectives relate to the science and another content area's (literacy, mathematics, or the creative arts) standards. Academic Language: Include content-related, age appropriate vocabulary that engages students
