Teacher Name : Renee etterau Subject : Science Start Date(s): March 6 Grade Level (s): 4 Building :Drums
Unit Plan Unit Title: an educational unit title summarizes content across several lessons that establishes and reinforces certain skills and essential knowledge for grade levels and content areas. Electricity, Circuits and Magnetism Essential Questions: Essential questions are concet in the form of questions. Questions suggest inquiry. Essential questions are organizers and set the focus for the lesson or unit. Essential questions are initiators of creative and critical thinking. Essential questions are concetual commitments focusing on key concets imlicit in the curriculum hat is static electricity? hat is an atom? hat is an electric charge? hat are like and unlike charges and what do they do? hat is electric current? How are conductors and insulators the same and different? hat is an electric circuit? hat are the two tyes of electric circuits? Describe each hat are the three arts of a working circuit? hat is a circuit box or breaker? hat is it used for? hy are houses usually wired in arallel not series? hat is an electric cell? hat is a magnet? hat are magnetic fields? hat are ermanent and temorary magnets? How do you construct one? hat is a magnetic ole? hat is an electromagnet and how do they work? How are motors and generators similar and diffiernt? Standards: PA Core Standards, PA Academic Standards/Anchors (based on subject) S4.C.. Recognize basic energy tyes and sources, or describe how energy can be changed from one form to another S4. C.3. Identify and describe different tyes of force and motion resulting from these forces, or the effect of the interaction between force and motion Use hysical roerties ex. Mass, shae, size, volume, color, texture, magnetism, state(solid, liquid,gas), conductivity, ex electrical and heat, to describe mater Describe the flow of energy through an object or system ex. Feeling radiant heat from a lightbulb, eating food to get energy, using a battery to light a bulb or run a fan Recognize or illustrate simle direct current series and arallel circuits comosed of batteries, light bulbs, or other common loads, wire, and on/off switches.
Grouing Describe changes in motion caused by forces ex. Magnetic ushes and ulls, gravity, friction. Summative Unit Assessment : Summative Assessment Objective Students will-demonstrate recognize or illustrate simle direct current series and arallel circuits comosed of batteries, lightbulbs, wire, and on/off switches. Students will describe changes in motion caused by forces. Ex. Magnetic ushes or ulls, gravity, friction. Assessment Method (check one) Rubric Checklist X Unit Test Grou Student Self-Assessment Other (exlain) DAILY PLAN Day Objective (s) DOK LEVEL Activities / Teaching Strategies Materials / Resources Assessment of Objective (s) Students will comlete an investigative activity and record data into science notebooks.. Students will show the effect that two objects have on eachother when they have the same and different charges. Students will- comlete an investigative activity and record data into science notebooks.. 3 Show school house rock Electricity to oen unit Bill Nye static electricity Read text F 4-47 Reader: 5 Facts about Atoms Define: atom, electric charges, static electricity, like charges reel with icture, unlike charges attract with ictue activities with balloons, encil shavings, comb, static tubes and reading cards PHET Simulations, balloons and John Travoltage orksheet 5. graded H Ben Franklin booklet Show school house rock Electricity to oen unit i s i Notebook Static tube, encil shavings, uffed rice, foil, felt, card rintouts for artners comuter Notebook Static tube, encil Summative- 5. graded H Summative-
3 Students will show the effect that two objects have on eachother when they have the same and different charges. Students will recognize how cause and effect relationshis lay a role in sequencing events. Students will create a chart to tell how conductors and insulators are similar and different. Students will construct a comlete circuit. Students will construct a arallel circuit. Students will define vocabulary related to electric current. 3 Bill Nye static electricity Read text F 4-47 Reader: 5 Facts about Atoms Define: atom, electric charges, static electricity, like charges reel with icture, unlike charges attract with ictue activities with balloons, encil shavings, comb, static tubes and reading cards PHET Simulations, balloons and John Travoltage orksheet 5. graded H Ben Franklin booklet Students will read Ben Franklin Flies a Kite as a readers theater. Define: conductors, insulators, electric circuit, electric curremt, Parallel circuit,series circuit Read text F48-58 Comlete t chart on conductors and insulators Construct a circuit to light a bulb Test conductors and insulators Electricity wand circle of students Phet DC only circuit construction Magic Schoolbus gets charged Videos on series and arallel circuits F5-F57 shavings, uffed rice, foil, felt, card rintouts for artners comuter, notebook Batteries, light bulb holders, battery holders, wires Packets what stuck with me? Summative- 4 Students will- describe and demonstrate a series circuit as a circuit in which electricity flows along only one ath Students will- describe and demonstrate a arallel circuit as a circuit in which electricity flows along two or more aths. 4 4 Read text F56-F59 Answer questions F59 Science kits to build a series circuits Sna kits orksheet s 5.
