“Electrifying Vocabulary”

n PROGRAM OVERVIEW “Electrifying Vocabulary” is an

innovative way to teach basic electrical concepts and create a way to practice vocabulary in a variety of subjects. Students will utilize hands-on science by building a vocabulary card that will cause a tool to light up when connected from the term to the definition.

Science is a subject that has very specific vocabulary and it is important that a thorough understanding is gained in this intermediate level of education. Compounding the issue of specialization of terms in science we have the fact that science is only tested statewide in the 5th and 8th grades. The activities in this program will allow students to have memorable moments that they will be able to apply when testing time comes around.

It is important for all students to be given an opportunity to be successful. We know that there are a variety of learning styles that our students prefer. This program will utilize the following learning styles: visual, verbal, physical, logical, social, and solitary. When students are taught using multiple styles of learning odds are that they will remember what it is they are being taught.

Critical thinking skills are vital for students. This program utilized a critical thinking strategy called SEE-I.

The process of an SEE-I has students look closely at the concept by writing a definition, putting into their own words, giving an example of it, and illustrating it with perhaps a picture. After students have a good understanding of the vocabulary they will use what they know about electricity conduction and create vocabulary cards using aluminum foil as the conductor.

Students will be assessed based on their participation in all areas of the program. The completed SEE-I packet and a working vocabulary card are two of the tangible items that are created in this program. In addition there will be a rubric shows participation levels for each portion of the program. At the end students will play the game Energy Bingo to show overall learning of energy concepts.

“Electrifying Vocabulary” was created for intermediate grades, 5-8. The activities are interactive and technology driven. Students are highly motivated and actively involved in the educational process. It should be noted that it might be possible to adapt to younger grades although fine motor skills are necessary when creating the cards. Once the cards are created any grade level can use the cards for the study of vocabulary.

n OVERALL VALUE The overall value of this activity is

that it is truly is student centered. It gives students the opportunity to apply scientific skills to everyday life. This program is inclusive and rewarding. Students who are reluctant learners are able to explore and experience success with hands on science.

*kinetic energy

• Energy a moving object has because of its motion; depends on the mass and speed of the object

“Electrifying Vocabulary” Elizabeth KozlowskiLesson Plan No 1: Introduction to Electricity

n SUBJECTS COVEREDScience, Language Arts

n GRADESFive - Eight

n OBJECTIVES • Understand the difference between

potent ial and kinet ic energy. Understand that all energy is conserved.

n SUNSHINE STATE STANDARDS

SC.5.P.11.1 Investigate and illustrate the fact that the flow of electricity requires a closed circuit (a complete loop)

SC.5.P.11.2 Identif iy and classify materials that conduct electricity and materials that do not.

LA.5.1.6.1 The Student will use new vocabulary that is introduced and taught directly.

SC.6.P.11.1 Explore the Law of Conser vat ion o f Energy by differentiating between potential and kinetic energy. Identify situations where kinetic energy is transformed into potential energy and vice versa.

LA.6.1.6.5 Vocabulary Development – The student uses multiple strategies to develop grade appropr iate vocabulary.

n MATERIALSCapstone Interactive Library:

• Thomas Edison and the Lightbulb• SmartBoard • Energy vocabulary• SEE-I worksheet (copy 3 times for

each student)• Pencil

n DIRECTIONS 1. Use Capstone Interactive Library:

Thomas Edison and the Light bulb on Smart Board to work as a class to gain knowledge of electricity and history of the light bulb.

2. Introduce vocabulary (see attachment for 6th grade)

3. Go through SEE-I steps

State the concept or idea in a single sentence or two.

Elaborate on the concept in your own words.

Exemplify the concept by giving concrete examples (and counter examples) of the concept.

Illustrate the concept with a picture, diagram, metaphor, or analogy.

4. Pass out the SEE-I worksheets, complete the first word with all students on the board.

5. Have students complete SEE-I for second word.

6. After 10 minutes have students share their example and illustration with their teammate.

7. Assign remaining 4 words to teams of students. Have them work on SEE-I’s together.

8. After 15 minutes have groups present their SEE-I’s to the classroom.

n EVALUATION/ASSESSMENT Students will complete SEE-I packet

with each letter complete for the six words.

n OBJECTIVES • Students will use their understanding

of conservation of energy to create a vocabulary card. Students will practice their newly obtained vocabulary using vocabulary card.

n MATERIALS• Index Cards (5x8)• Rulers• Single Hole Punch• Aluminum Foil• Electrical Tape• Continuity Tester (with batteries)

Optional Materials:

• Markers• Colored Pencils• Science Notebooks• Energy Bingo Game

n DIRECTIONS 1. Explain that today we will be using

what we know about energy to create a tool that we can use to practice our knowledge of energy. Have student explain the law of conservation of energy (read UEQ for energy unit).

2. Give every student a 5”x8” index card.3. Students will divide card as follows:

draw a line 2 cm from each side. Counting down from the red line at the top draw a line every third line. (Should have this illustrated on board)

4. Use a hole punch to put a hole in the center of each box under the red line (both sides).

5. Take 6 vocabulary words (from Introduction to Electricity) and write them on left side of card close to the 2 cm line.

6. Once all words have found a spot draw a vertical line down the card boxing in the vocabulary words.

7. Now begin writing the definitions to the right of the vertical line that was just drawn. Make sure that students understand that they need to mix up the definitions.

8. After each definition is written have student turn card over and draw a line (with a pencil) from the corresponding hole of the definition to the correct word.

9. Continue steps 7-8 until all definition are completed.

10. Give each group of students a sheet of aluminum foil.

11. Have students cut strips of aluminum foil no larger than the width of the electrical tape. Strips must be long enough to span from one side of the index card (perhaps the top) to the other side (perhaps the bottom).

“Electrifying Vocabulary” Elizabeth KozlowskiLesson Plan No 2: Vocabulary Cards

12. Students will then place the aluminum foil across the lines that were drawn on the back of the vocabulary card, making sure the aluminum foil shows completely in the hole on the other side.

13. When aluminum foil is in place take a strip of electrical tape and completely cover aluminum foil.

14. Repeat step 12-13 for all of the lines on the back of the card.

15. Students will test their card using the continuity testers so that tester will light up when alligator clip is placed on word and tester touches the correct definition. (It might be necessary to adjust aluminum foil on some if students were not careful).

16. When all answers are correct student and have approval from teacher will take a blank index card and cover back of card. Sealing it shut with clear tape at the top and the bottom of the vocabulary card.

17. Next students can exchange cards to practice their knowledge of electricity vocabulary.

n EVALUATION/ASSESSMENT Students wi l l have complete

vocabulary card that works correctly. If more than one answer lights up students should be able to trouble shoot to figure out why. Students will play the Energy Bingo Game successfully.

See Rubric

n ADDITIONAL INFO It is not necessary to buy expensive

aluminum foil for this activity; in fact the least expensive is thinner and easier to cut.

I have had the best luck getting the continuity testers at Lowes but the supply is sometimes low and I have had to go to multiple stores. It might be possible to speak to manager about purchasing large quantities but this must be done in advance.
