Big Idea 14: Organization and Development of Living Organisms
Fair Game Benchmarks
Department of Mathematics and Science
Scaffolding in the classroom:“Scaffolding can be used in a variety of content areas and across age and grade levels.”“When using scaffolding as an instructional technique, the teacher provides tasks that enable the learner to build on prior knowledge and internalize new concepts.” -Heather Coffey
Prior Knowledge:Items may require the student to apply scientific knowledge described in NGSSS benchmarks from lower grades; however, the benchmarks from lower grades will not be assessed in isolation.
FCAT 2.0 will assess prior content taught in lower grades that serves as a foundation for grade 5 benchmarks along with grades 3 & 4 Fair Game benchmarks .
Topic VIII: Living and Nonliving ThingsBig Idea 14: Organization and Development of Living Organisms SC.1.L.14.3 Differentiate between living and nonliving things
Engage: Read: Diary of a Worm by: Doreen Cronin
Explore: Gummy Worms vs. Real Worms Earthworm Observations My Worm Journal
Explain: Read An Earthworm’s Life by: John Himmelman (non-fiction selection)
Elaborate: How Do Worms help the Earth?
Evaluate: Wiggly Worms QuizWorksheet: Is it living or Nonliving?Additional Activities: Journal Entry: Living or nonliving Wiggly Worms at Work by: Wendt Pfeffer
Website: Visit Discovery Kids Worm World for all the dirt on worms.

Evaluate: Design your own animal and offspring
Five E’s Overview
ExtendEnrichment
Five ’s Instructional Strategy
• The Five E Model is one way to prioritize student involvement in their own learning (both in terms of physical activity and active construction of understandings)
• This model is a version of a “learning cycle”• This Five E’s learning cycle suggests the design and
implementation of lessons to activate prior knowledge, shape the formation of new knowledge, and provide opportunities to use the new knowledge.
Sample Five E’s Lesson Plan
Lesson Planning Resources• Pacing Guide (including resources available)• Common Core integration• Item Specs. (grades 3-5)• FCAT Achievement Level Descriptions (grade 5)• Five E’s Model• Technology resources• Hands on lab/activity• Questions to stimulate student thinking• Common planning• Vertical Planning
