Course diary. My Didactic Unit: The Earth in the Solar System
I have chosen this unit because it is the first one on the third grade of Primary in the subject of Social Science. It is an attractive lesson because children of eight and nine love so much the space and the planets. They are very curious in this topic.
I have considered the following learning outcomes:
-To indentify and name the eight planets in the Solar System.
-To classify the planets in closer and further than the Sun.
-To know the two movements of the Earth.
-To know how the day, the night and the seasons are taken place.
-To distinguish the three layers of the Earth.
-To identify the satellite of the Earth and its phases.
And above all, to value L2.
The final tasks are:
-Role playing in groups: each one is a Solar System and students will explain the caracteristics of each planet.
-A handicraft (of foam) marking the layers of the Earth.
I will make use of seven sessions of an hour.
• In the first session the students are asked for their knowledge about the name of the planets and the seasons using two songs (songs are motivational for the children). We will explain that the Solar System is made up of the Sun (a big star), eight planets and other celestial bodies. They can see the orbits with a video 
and the different characteristics of the planets (if they are nearer and further than the Sun) with an informative video and a song. • During the second session let us talk about the learning last day in pairs and answering questions:
Then they will create a Solar System on line. (We don’t can forget the presence of a digital board and tablets in the classroom) Also they will draw a Solar System (looking at the resources). If they have enough time they can learn more with another video (extension activity) • In the third session children will fill in blanks with the resource Educaplay and they will play a game on line with the partner. (They are learning by playing). With two videos they will learn about the two movements of The Earth (rotation and revolution and what they cause: day/night and the seasons). At home they can visit the video to make this experiment with their family to know how is the day and how is the night:
I will ask for them which is the satellite of the Earth and let us watch a video about the phases of the moon. • In the fourth session we will remember the contents with questions like this:
And we will watch a video of the first man on the moon (a real document):
Children will listen a text to complete on their notebook, they will do a puzzle of The Earth in pairs and we will watch a video about the layers. • In the fifth session they will complete a diagram of main contents (mind map) and a match exercise on the notebook. Then they will have fun making a handicraft (the first final task) with these instructions:
• The sixth session will be role-playing (the second final task):
• At last, I will use a seventh session to do a test about the topic:
And a funny self assesment:

Objetivos del uso de recursos y andamiaje
OBJETIVOS DEL USO DE RECURSOS
EDUCATIVOS
-
Como
introducción al tema preguntaremos a los alumnos, a través de un braimstorming,
qué saben de los planetas, si los conocen, cuántos son…
presentándoles la unidad con una canción sobre los planetas: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVVfALI4MxU para familiarizarse con los nombres
en inglés.
-
Con
este video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksGiLaIx39c podemos conocer si identifican las
estaciones.
-
El
video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8aBZZnv6y8 les ayudará a observar las órbitas
de los diferentes planetas del Sistema Solar que giran alrededor del sol.
identificarán y clasificarán los planetas más cercanos al sol y los más lejanos.
-
Jugarán
a crear un sistema solar con todos los componentes mediante: http://www.kidsastronomy.com/fun/make-a-solar-system.htm
-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=37&v=ymUHlV074OQ: Es una canción que les servirá para
reforzar la información de cómo son los planetas, y si son interiores o
exteriores. Además es un punto de apoyo para poder elaborar en pequeños grupos
el texto del role play, una de las tareas finales en la que cada niño
representará a un planeta, que orbita
alrededor del sol.
-
En
parejas jugarán a este juego on line: http://www.softschools.com/science/space/solar_system_kids_games/ para identificar los planetas.
-
Con
este video: http://www.kidsastronomy.com/solar_system.htm podrán profundizar en los
significados de los planetas o de los satélites de todos ellos (tema, a veces,
sugerente para los niños de la edad a la que va destinada la Unidad Didáctica).
Dos recursos para actividades de
ampliación.
que conozcan los dos movimientos de la tierra y lo que originan. Con este
otro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VwLOR0m6mQ les reforzaremos estos contenidos
(el experimento lo harán en casa con ayuda de la familia como actividad de
ampliación)
-
El
puzzle http://www.primarygames.com/holidays/earth_day/games/planetearthjigsawpuzzle/ les presentará cómo es la tierra y
cómo se ve desde el espacio (continentes, mares y atmósfera) para introducirles
en el conocimiento de las capas de la tierra.
-
El
video https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=65&v=o1PzX_Mq7ug intenta mostrar al alumnado las
capas de la tierra para poder identificarlas.
-
Este
video documental: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaYHa7CX_vM presenta la llegada del hombre a la
luna. Se suscitará en el alumno esa curiosidad histórica.
-
Las
imágenes las obtendremos de los buscadores y servirán para realizar el test.
Siguiendo la
clasificación de Dodge (2011) las actividades han sido diseñadas proporcionando
los tres tipos de andamiaje:
- El de recepción: entre otros, con la audición de este video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDed5eXmngE los alumnos observarán cómo se llaman en inglés los dos movimientos de la tierra, cómo son y que originan. Reciben información para entender el aprendizaje, pero no como meros receptores sino observando para interiorizar.
- El de transformación: una estrategia que fundamenta este tipo de andamiaje es el mapa conceptual, el cual el alumno lo completará con toda la esencial información que haya entendido.
O el texto a completar online
http://en.educaplay.com/en/learningresources/2072448/the_solar_system__.htm
crearán similares frases que tendrán
que aprender para representar el planeta que les haya correspondido, en la
actividad de role play.
- El de producción: los alumnos a través de la canción, que les sirve de apoyo, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymUHlV074OQ

Un recurso AICLE
He elegido este recurso porque en primer lugar es bilingüe, en segundo lugar se adapta a niños de Primaria y por último, se pueden trabajar diferentes tópicos.
A través de las imágenes los alumnos eligen la palabra adecuada en inglés y la pueden escuchar. Es un completo libro de imágenes interactivo.
Puede ser útil, dependiendo de las edades, para reforzar un tema en clase o como evaluación inicial al principio para conocer el nivel curricular sobre esos temas que tiene el alumno.

MI WEBMIX
Para la unidad didáctica de “La Tierra en el Sistema Solar” destinada a alumnos de 3º de Primaria de sección bilingüe he considerado que los recursos que he añadido en la webmix elaborada pueden ser útiles.
Los bloques con el icono de prismáticos están compuestos por recursos de observación y de información, de lectura, escucha…, en definitiva para trabajar los contenidos.
Se apoyan, además, con canciones (bloques con nota musical como icono) relacionadas con este tema: sobre planetas, estaciones y fases de la luna. (Hay que pensar que los alumnos que van a trabajar dicha unidad cuentan con 8 años).
Y, por último, he incluido recursos para jugar y reforzar lo aprendido, con la construcción de un sistema solar o un quiz, entre otros.
