Abstract
This project will be called energy and speed, a fourth-grade multidisciplinary lesson. In this project I will go into a fourth grade classroom and teach a science lesson on the connections between energy and speed. There will also be an element of writing in the lesson. Overall, the lessons goals and objectives will be about both writing and science. It is more effective for students to work on both of these skills and knowledge at the same time versus taking time out of the day to teach each lesson and subject individually. I will be doing this lesson to teach a class of fourth grade students some science content while using their writing skills. Multidisciplinary lessons are valuable in the field of elementary education. According to open.edu, multidisciplinary lessons can help improve a students critical thinking, problem solving, communication, application of information, flexibility, and synthesizing ideas. Multidisciplinary lessons help students see information from other perspectives as well as make connections about the real world across subject topics. Using multidisciplinary lessons also help the teacher. They are a way to get more standards learned throughout the day without having to teach a lesson for each one. There is simply not enough time in the year for teachers to teach a standard for each lesson, and elementary students could not sit through that many lessons in a day and still learn.
