    We are EXPLORING on reading information about energy and connecting our understanding of it.


    Success Criteria: I can...

    • Write answers to questions about electricity.
    • Illustrate a form of energy of your own choice.
    • Connect information about energy.
    • Read an article about energy.

                                                                                                         Achievement Objectives:

    Explore, describe, and represent patterns and trends for everyday examples of physical phenomena, such as energy.


                                                                                                                          Monday

    • The students will first watch this   about what is energy.
    • Then they will label and draw 6 more pictures which show different forms of energy in their science books. Also, they will write an explanation for each picture for why it shows that form of energy.
    • Afterwards, they will create a mind map which shows the different forms of energy.
    • Finally, within the slideshow they have made about the different circus acts they will write what forms of energy are shown.
    • The students will have compassion for the people who do the circus acts.


                                                                                                                         Tuesday


    The students will first watch this   of crushing a car with water.

    • In their science books the students will write and answer the questions below:

      1. Before you read this, what is energy? 

      2. List stories, films, books which show energy.

      3. What similarities or consistencies are there between them.

    • Students will then read the article "Getting maximum calories in shortest time is priority for bumblebees."

    • They will write any keywords and scientific vocabulary which are related to energy.
    • Finally, they will rule a 10cm by 10cm frame and draw a picture, icon, or meme that represents the concept/theme of energy.
    OR

    They will complete the "Getting maximum calories in shortest time is priority for bumblebees" grid.

    OR

    They will write notes about the article "Getting maximum calories in shortest time is priority for bumblebees" which summaries the main points in them.

                                                                                                                   Thursday

    The students will draw a artwork of their own choice which shows different forms of energy like in this link.
