6 November - 12 November

FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

We are EXPLORING on recognising how energy works.

We are EXPLORING on experimenting with energy.

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

Success Criteria: I can...

• Write answers to questions about energy.
• Create a moveable car out of materials.
• 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, the students will draw and colour what it would be like during Diwali. Then label all the different types of energy that they see during Diwali.
• The students will show cultural connection with those who celebrate Diwali.

                                                                                                                     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.

                                                                                                               Wednesday

The students will first plan and draw a design of the kind of car they will make and then they will create a moveable car with cardboard, paper, tape and straws. Then they will test the kinetic energy of the car by pushing it across and noting down how far the car goes. They can use this link if they need help with building what the car will look like.
