1 Grade Band: Middle School Unit 18 Unit Target: Earth and Space Science Unit Topic: This Is the Solar System Lesson 9 Instructional Targets Reading Standards for Informational Text Range and Level of Text Complexity: Read and use grade level and age-appropriate informational materials, including social studies and technical texts that are adapted to student reading level. Key Ideas and Details: Answer questions and locate information in text to support the main idea and key details. Which of your state standards are aligned to these instructional targets? Classroom Activities/Lesson Plan Chapter 4: Explore the Solar System The title of the Chapter Book is This is Our Solar System. The fourth chapter, Explore the Solar System, describes early exploration of space. The content includes discussion of the invention of the telescope by Galileo, as well as the first spacecraft launched into space. Chapter books present a reading to learn experience. Therefore, students may read independently, in a shared reading experience or books may be read to them. Present students with one chapter at a time for reading and comprehension instruction. After each page is read, ask the discussion question that appears in italics at the bottom of the page. Focus on pictures to reinforce understanding. Repeated readings are encouraged. Suggested Reading Levels for this chapter include: Levels J/K, presented in a text format, and E, presented in both text and symbol-supported formats. Read and Answer Comprehension activities extend beyond checking what students remember from reading. During instruction, students learn to refer to the book, using both illustrations and text to locate answers to questions. Students recognize types of responses appropriate to who, what and where formats. Question responses may also provide students with a foundation for story retell. Activities should be repeated throughout the unit to increase students skills in multiple areas of comprehension. Select the level of comprehension questions appropriate to each student. Comprehension questions are also in three formats. Level 3 is text only. Level 2 is symbol-supported. Level 1 is written in sentence strip format, allowing students to select from multiple choices or one errorless picture choice. Build comprehension and vocabulary through discussions. Standards Connection These standards connection lessons are designed to build summarizing skills and are applicable to all chapters. Using the first standards connection form, determine whether this book is a work of fiction or nonfiction. Select the additional standards connection lesson based on whether the chapter is a fictional format that has a story line or on informational text that includes facts and historical events. The first two sets of comprehension questions are derived from the lower levels of text. An advanced level of mixed questions is provided in text-only format. Pre- and post-assessments are available through Monthly Checkpoints. Differentiated Tasks Level 3 Level 2 Level 1 Students will independently read informational materials, including social studies and technical texts that have been adapted to student reading level. Students will independently read questions about a story and write, speak or select an answer. Students will read supported and shared informational materials, including social studies and technical texts that have been adapted to student reading level. Students will point to or select a picture from a choice of three in response to a question about a story. Resources and Materials Chapter 4: Explore the Solar System Communication board Comprehension worksheets and sentence strips (multiple-choice and fill-in); Advanced questions Standards Connection Lessons 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 Students will actively participate in supported reading of informational materials, including social studies and technical texts that have been adapted to student ability level. Students will respond to a question by choosing a single option or errorless picture. Notes 2013 n2y ULS, October 2013

4 25 People have looked at the Moon and stars for thousands of years. People wanted to know what was in space. There are many ways that people learn about space. How long have people been looking at the Moon and stars?
5 26 A telescope is a tool to see things far away. Telescopes make things look bigger. You can see stars through a telescope. You might see a planet through a telescope. Planets and stars look closer through a telescope. What does a telescope do?
6 27 Long ago, people did not have telescopes. They looked up at the sky and guessed what was up there. Some people thought the stars were little holes in the sky. They did not know about the solar system. If we did not know about the solar system, what would you guess about the sky?
7 28 In 1610, a scientist named Galileo made a telescope. He looked in the sky and saw millions of stars. He saw planets too. He changed what people knew about the Universe. Today, scientists use big telescopes to look into space. Who made the telescope?
8 29 Scientists wanted to learn more about space. They wanted to see space from up in the sky. In 1957, the fi rst spacecraft, called Sputnik 1, was sent into space. Sputnik 1 was the size of a basketball. Sputnik 1 had computers that could send messages about space back to Earth. What was the name of the first spacecraft?
9 30 Scientists have built many kinds of spacecraft. Some are machines that move around Earth and send messages. Other kinds of spacecraft explore planets and send pictures back to Earth. Some spacecraft are large enough to carry men and women into space. If you went into space, what would you want to see?
10 31 In the United States, NASA is the group of scientists who study space. Scientists at NASA make new technology to explore space. NASA sends spacecraft into space. NASA helps all of us learn more about our Universe. What group of scientists studies space?
