Science & Engineering Disciplinary Core Ideas Crosscutting Concept

Practice
Develop model using an
example and analogy to
describe a scientific
design.
(Content)
Static process Cause and effect
Electricity make it relationships between
possible to use everyday protons and electrons
items.

Georgia Performance Standards - S5P2. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information

to investigate electricity.
a. Obtain and combine information from multiple sources to explain the difference
between naturally occurring electricity (static) and human-harnessed electricity.
b. Design a complete, simple electric circuit, and explain all necessary components.
c. Investigate and test common materials to determine if they are insulators or conductors
of electricity.

Safety Considerations Review the danger and safety when dealing electricity.

The Learning Plan:

ENGAGE: Share PowerPoint, Electrical circuits are mighty important but how do
they work?

EXPLORE:
Now tell students this week they are going to learn more about circuits.
Review vocabulary words for the next lesson with students via powerpoint
and kinesthetic modeling.
Learners will define words and place them in the glossaries of their
interactive science notebooks.

Review vocabulary terms of the lesson

Power Point Presentation explaining what causes an electric current and
how to make series circuit and parallel circuits

There will be embedded comprehension check throughout the

presentation.
Learners will get into pairs while preselected students will work in small
groups to complete GPS wrap-up and lesson review pg. 198 in their science
textbooks.
Differentiation:

Learners will build circuits in small groups (LAB)

EXPLAIN: Students will use PowerPoint and studyjams to guide themselves about
the difference in circuit. Theres a quiz at end of the video each child will take to
measure their understanding.

EXTEND: Leaners will be put in small groups to research circuits and how it blain
with our unit

EVALUATE: Student will write a reflection using the unit vocabulary in their science
notebook and share with classmate.
Title of the Lesson:
Lesson Logistics/Materials: Science notebook, chromebooks, Graphic Organizers,
light bolts

Batteries
Battery holders

Flashlight bulbs

Light bulb holders

Copper wires with clips

Smartboard

Science Level readers

Science Interactive workbooks

Science Interactive notebooks

Brainpop

Opening/Hook/Initial Focus: Electrical circuits are mighty important but how do

they work? In this BrainPOP movie, Tim and Moby introduce you to the basics of
what electrical circuits are all about! First youll get a working knowledge of the
components of a circuit, including the power source, terminals, and switch. Youll
also learn what a current is, what a load is, and how batteries and wall outlets
supply electricity to your house. Tim and Moby will also teach you why we use
insulated copper wires to conduct electricity, and the difference between static
electricity and the electrical currents in our homes. Dont get shocked if you
become an electrical circuit genius after watching this movie!

Work Session:
ENGAGE: Now tell students this week they are going to learn more about circuits.
Ask student wahts the difference between paralle circuit and serious circuit

EXPLORE:L earners will define words and place them in the glossaries of their
interactive science notebooks

EXPLAIN: Students will use PowerPoint and studyjams to guide themselves about
the difference in circuit. Theres a quiz at end of the video each child will take to
measure their understanding.

EXTEND: : Leaners will be put in small groups to research circuits and how it blain
with our unit

Closing: : Student will write a reflection using the unit vocabulary in their science
notebook and share with classmate.
