Suggestions
- This lesson can be used during warmer months.
- This lesson can be taught in conjunction with math and science.
- The Investigate section can be spread over several class periods or days. Alternatively, centers 1, 2, and 3 could be completed during a math or science block.
Prerequisites
- This is lesson 3 of 3 in our Kindergarten Spanish Language Unit: Mantente fresco.
- Students should have a foundational understanding of the effects of heat on people and animals from Lessons 1-2 or other experiences.
- Teachers should be aware of students who have never visited a beach and may need to prepare images, sounds, or videos to help students visualize and imagine.
Differentiation
- All of the centers are flexible and can be replaced with others that the teacher sees as a better fit.
- Students can be grouped in balanced-ability teams for centers.
- More advanced students can take on leader-based tasks, such as modeling for struggling students.
