Choose FIVE (5) words or ideas in your topic that you think learners will not understand. Consider some placeholders (words to develop concepts) you could use in your theme plan and think how you would use activities to informally assess whether learners use the science words correctly. Remember, we use placeholders because they hold the place for the development of a scientific understanding of a concept?

Some possible words or ideas that learners may find difficult are: photosynthesis, chlorophyll, carbon dioxide, oxygen, and energy. These are important concepts for understanding how plants make their own food. Some placeholders I could use are: green stuff, air, breath, and power. For example, I could ask learners to draw a picture of a plant and label the parts that have green stuff. Then I could explain that green stuff is called chlorophyll and it helps the plant use light to make power. I could also ask learners to act out how plants and animals exchange air. Then I could introduce the terms carbon dioxide and oxygen and explain how they are different types of air. These activities would help me check if learners can use the science words correctly and understand their meanings.
