TRANSCRIPT
1. Energy comes in many forms, such as light, heat, sound, magnetic, chemical, and electrical. 2. Describe the energy transformation that takes place in electrical circuits where light,
heat, sound, and magnetic effects are produced 3. Show that electricity in circuits requires a complete loop through which current can pass 4. Solve problems involving measurement and conversion of measurements from a larger
unit to a smaller unit. 5. Conduct short research projects that build knowledge through investigation of different
aspects of a topic. 6. Report on a topic using appropriate facts and relevant, descriptive details to support
main ideas and speak clearly at an understandable pace.
Electricity 4-3
1.How do we know that energy exists within a system such as in an electrical circuit. 2. How can heat be transferred from one object to another?
Identify different types of energy Create and explain how electrical circuits work Science test from science kit Science Fair project
Act out different types of energy • Kinetic vs Potential • Sound, Light, Magnetic, etc.
Use electricity kit to teach lessons Science Fair
N/A
Listen to music created by Tesla Coils (ArcAttack) Look at how different types of instruments can be both acoustic and electric and compare sounds.
Science Fair data will all be collected using metric units of measurements. Students can explore the conversion of metric units.
Discuss Nikola Tesla and his relation to Colorado
Nonfiction Science readers that come with kit
DiscoveryEducation Videos Bill Nye Videos Research for Science Fair
Design House with multiple rooms with electric circuits that power light bulbs in each room.
Students will act as electricity flowing through a circuit. Students can be different parts (battery, wire, light bulb, switch, etc.)
Safety will be practiced while working with electricity
Energy comes in many forms and is used by humans in
many ways.
