Subject: Science

Grade: 1

Topic: Colour

URL: http://www.learnalberta.ca/content/tlfmc/index.html?launch=true

Learning Object:

This learning object is an interactive website where students can mix two or more colours in order to create new colours. They must also match the colours they create to the colours given. Then they are able to colour pictures using their personal colours.

Integration and Planning:

After having a few introductory lessons on the colour unit, including primary colours, secondary colours, how secondary colours are used, etc. I would use this multimedia object to further enhance the students’ understanding of creating colours. I have already planned for this lesson by doing the activities on the site myself. They were lots of fun and kept me engaged so I think they would keep grade 1 students engaged as well. They will be learning and reinforcing what they know while having fun.

Specific Learner Expectations for Grade 1 Science:

Compare and contrast colours, using terms such as lighter than, darker than, more blue, brighter than.

Predict and describe changes in colour that result from the mixing of primary colours and from mixing a primary colour with white or with black.

Create a colour that matches a given sample, by mixing the appropriate amounts of two primary colours.

Specific Learner Expectaions for ICT Division 1:

Access and retrieve appropriate information from electronic sources for a specific inquiry.

Perform basic computer operations, which may vary by environment, including powering up, inserting disks, moving the cursor, clicking on an icon, using pull-down menus, executing programs, saving files, retrieving files, printing, ejecting disks and powering down.
