Overview and Learning Objectives: Electrical Circuits is designed so that the students can have hands-on experience in learning about circuits. They will construct basic circuits and examine their components. They will learn the symbols used in a circuit design and will construct puzzles using circuits. At the end of the module, the students will have learned not only about how electricity moves, but also why safety rules regarding the use of electricity are so important. The module will take about one week.
GLE’s: · Pose questions that can be answered by using students’ own observations, scientific knowledge, and testable scientific investigations (SI-E-A1) · Use observations to design and conduct simple investigations or experiments to answer testable questions (SI-E-A2) · Predict and anticipate possible outcomes (SI-E-A2) · Use a variety of methods and materials and multiple trials to investigate ideas (observe, measure, accurately record data) (SI-E-A2) · Express data in a variety of ways by constructing illustrations, graphs, charts, tables, concept maps, and oral and written explanations as appropriate (SI-E-A5) (SI-E-B4) · Combine information, data, and knowledge from one or more of the science content areas to reach a conclusion or make a prediction (SI-E-A5) · Compare and classify objects on properties determined through experimentation (e.g., ability to conduct electricity, tendency to float or sink in water) (PS-E-A1) · Use active listening strategies, including: asking questions and responding to ideas/opinions and giving oral responses, such as explanations of written and/or spoken texts (ELA-4-E5) · Write compositions of two or more paragraphs that are organized with the following: · a central idea · a logical, sequential order · supporting details that develop ideas transitional words within and between paragraphs (ELA-2-E1) |
