//A brief snapshot, as if someone asked you to briefly and clearly describe the intent of the lesson or project.// ||  || During this project, students will be getting hands on practice measuring length.First, children will decide which unit of measurement they will use to measure a specified distance. They will then estimate the object's length. Finally, they will select and use a measurement tool to measure the object's length. ||<  ||   ||   || //What will guide student inquiry?// ||  || How will you decide which unit of measurement to use? How can you justify your measurement? Which instrument will you use to measure your objects? ||<  || //Include technology. Use district standards where applicable, targeting performance objectives you will assess.// ||  || Ø Strand 1 Concept 1 PO3 : Estimate length and weight using U.S. customary and metric units. Strand 4 Concept 4 PO4: Select and appropriate tool to use in a particular measurement situation. Strand 4 Concept 4 PO4: Approximate measurements to the appropriate degree of accuracy. ||<  || //What will students learn and do?// ||  || doubleClickHereAndType ||<   || //Checklist, Presentation, Oral Response, Rubric, Test, Quiz, etc.// ||  || doubleClickHereAndType ||<   || //(e.g., content, technology, etc.)// ||  || doubleClickHereAndType ||   || //- Steps in the process// //- Responsibilities// //- Guiding// //- Questions// //- Student products// ||  || doubleClickHereAndType ||<   || //- Computers - Software - URLs - ameras - Presentation Device - Handouts, Books - Supplies, Other// ||  || doubleClickHereAndType ||<   || //- Location - Teacher / Student roles - Group Dynamics - Interactions with experts, other educators, etc., if applicable// ||  || doubleClickHereAndType ||<   || //Special Ed, Gifted, ELL// ||  || doubleClickHereAndType ||<   ||
