1. **Title**: Exploring Objects of Nature 2. **Subject/Course:** 3. **Standard/Eligible Content (alignments)**: shows the connection between standard, anchor, anchor descriptor, and/or eligible content and the curriculum framework MATH -**2.3.3.D.** Identify equivalent measurements within the same system. //Assessment Anchor//: M3.B.1. Demonstrate an understanding of measurable attributes of objects and figures, and the units, systems, and processes of measurement. -**2.3.3.F**. Estimate and verify measurements of length, area, weight, and capacity. //Assessment Anchor:// M3.B.2. Apply appropriate techniques, tools and formulas to determine measurement. SCIENCE ART Recognize, know, use and demonstrate a variety of appropriate arts elements and principles to produce, review and revise original works in the arts. Handle materials, equipment and tools safely at work and performance spaces. Know and use traditional and contemporary technologies for producing, performing and exhibiting works in the arts or the works of others. Recognize critical processes used in the examination of works in the arts and humanities.
 * Math - measurement, estimation
 * Science- life cycle of flowering plant
 * Art- animation and installation
 * **//Big Idea//**: Natural objects can be analyzed using measurement, observation, and other means of exploration.
 * Standards:
 * -3.1.3.A2:** Describe the basic needs of living things and their dependence on light, food, air, water, and shelter.
 * -3.1.3.A3**. Illustrate how plants and animals go through predictable life cycles that include birth, growth, development, reproduction, and death.
 * 9.1.3.A:** Know and use the elements and principles of each art form to create works in the arts and humanities.
 * 9.1.3.B:**
 * 9.1.3.C:** Recognize and use fundamental vocabulary within each of the arts forms.
 * 9.1.3.E:** Demonstrate the ability to define objects, express emotions, illustrate an action or relate an experience through creation of works in the arts.
 * 9.1.3.H:**
 * 9.1.3.J:**
 * 9.1.3.K:** Know and use traditional and contemporary technologies for furthering knowledge and understanding in the humanities.
 * 9.3.3.A:**
 * 9.3.3.B:** Know that works in the arts can be described by using the arts elements, principles and concepts
 * 9.3.3.F:** Know how to recognize and identify similar and different characteristics among works in the arts

4. **Vocabulary:** Math- __Units of measurement:__ //inch, foot, yard, mile// __duration__: //days, weeks, months, years// Science- __Life Cycle Stages of a Flowering Plant__: //seed, seedling, root, stem, flowe//r, pollination Art- __Animation__: story board, //frames per second, onion skinning// __Installation__: //positive space, negative space, 3 dimensional//

5. **Objectives:**
 * Students will be able to understand the units of measurement.
 * Students will have the ability to estimate a measurement for duration.
 * Students will gain an understanding of perception in space.
 * Students will know how to operate stop-motion software to create an animation.
 * Students will learn and illustrate the life cycle of a sunflower.

6. **Essential Question(s)**: What are the units of measurement we could use for the height of sunflower plant? 7. **Duration:** 3-5 Days 8. **Materials**: Installation Art: 4 pop up walls, Electricity Kit, light source kit, LCD projector, MF Materials Other Art Materials: computer, istopmotion software, video camera, connection cords, backdrop, ftripod, and felt or construction paper, scissors, pencils, crayons, etc. Math- pre/post assessment, ruler, video segment, worksheet (life cycle of a sunflower plant, units of measurement) 9. **Instructional Procedures:** 1.) To begin, remind students how important it is to understand all aspects of measurement. 2.) Tell students that they will be observing the life cycle of a sunflower, conducting discussions on what they see. They will be using a yardstick to monitor the plant's growth. 3.) The students will visit the installation art piece. 4.) Before they view and interact with the piece, the teacher will have a quick review of units of measurement. 5.) Students will view the istopmotion clip of a sunflower's life cycle. 6.) As they are learning the stages in the life cycle of the sunflower, they will also be observing how the height of the object is increasing. 7.) The clip will be paused throughout the segment in order for students to measure the height of the sunflower. They will record their measurements on a chart. 8.) At the end of the lesson, discuss the different stages in the life cycle of a sunflower. Also, have students analyze the data they have recorded on the sunflower growth chart. 1.) Discuss the lifecycle of a flowering plant. 2.) Explain to the class what a story board is and each student will draw a story board showing the stages of a plants life. The story board will be used to guide us during the animation process. 3.) Show students examples of stop motion film. Explain the process in which we will take to create the movie. 4.) Begin creating movie (this will take several weeks, as only a few students are able to work on the animating at a time). Each student works on animating every class period, in addition to this they will learn about Van Gogh and his Sunflower paintings. 5.) While students are waiting to animate, they will be creating an oil pastel sunflower. 6.) See above #5 and below
 * Instructional Procedures (Mrs. Barber):**

10**. Formative Assessment**: We will use the completed sunflower growth chart to assess the student's knowledge on understanding measurement. This activity will allow me to know if my students are familiar with the life cycle stages of a sunflower and how we can use different units of measurement in real-world situations. The students will also be given a post-assessment containing 5 questions relating to measurement and the life cycle of a sunflower. 11. **Related Materials & Resources**: 12.**Keywords**: life cycle of a sunflower
