1. QuestionWe use energy to move our bodies. Energy is all around us at all times. We even use energy when we sit still.Energy is the ability to do work or make change. It is what we use to make things happen!

Let’s build some background knowledge about the different forms of energy:

Click or tap on the BrainPop icon on the BCPS Digital Content page. Then, return to this slide and select the picture on the right to view the BrainPop video, Forms of Energy.

You and your classmates will conduct brief research on the different forms of energy to answer the essential question:

1 2 3 654 Next

How are different forms of energy used?

Energy Forms

Keep these questions in mind as you research the different forms of energy:• What are the different forms of

energy?• How and when is energy used?• How does energy change from

one form to another?

2. Information Sources

Energy moves in different ways…Heat, sound, light, electricity, and motion are all ways that energy

moves. Your own voice carries energy that moves on sound waves.

Sunlight carries energy that plants use to make food.

1. Read Energy is Everywhere, a Wonders article assigned by your teacher in BCPS One.

2. Use these Information Sources to continue researching each of the different energy forms.

3. Student Activity1 2 3 654 Next

As you research forms of energy using the sources on Slide 2, look for information that helps you to answer these questions:

What are some sources of this form of energy? How is this energy used? What are the advantages and disadvantages on the

environment of using this form of energy? What are some technologies that use this form of

energy? What technologies are used to find or extract this

form of energy?

Organize your thoughts and ideas on the Forms of Energy web or foldable organizer. NOTE: The foldable organizer will need to be printed out.

4. Assessment Activity

Now it’s time to show what you know!Choose one of the following products to share your new knowledge with your classmates:

Trading CardVoki (Tutorial)

Discovery Ed Board (Tutorial)

Be sure to reference the rubric to ensure that you have included the necessary information.

6. Teacher Support MaterialsStandards Alignment National Generation Science Standards NGSS4PS3-2 Make observations to provide evidence that energy can be transferred from place to place by sound light, heat, and electric currents.4-ESS3-1- Science and Engineering Principle (SEP) “Obtain and combine information from books and other reliable media to explain phenomena. “ Common Core State Standards Reading: 1. Read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it; cite specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to support conclusions drawn from the text.Writing: 7. Conduct short as well as more sustained research projects based on focused questions, demonstrating understanding of the subject under investigation.AASL Standards for the 21st Century Learner 1.1.6 Read, view, and listen for information presented in any format (e.g. textual, visual, media, digital) in order to make inferences and gather meaning.2.1.3 Use strategies to draw conclusions from information and apply knowledge to curricular areas, real-world situations, and further investigations.

ISTE Standards for Students3. Research and Information Fluency: Students apply digital tools to gather, evaluate, and

use information.4. Critical Thinking, Problem Solving, and Decision Making: Students use critical thinking

skills to plan and conduct research, manage projects, solve problems, and make informed decisions using appropriate digital tools and resources.

P21 SkillsInformation Literacy: Access information efficiently (time) and effectively (sources); Use

information accurately and creatively for the issue or problem at hand.ICT Literacy: Use technology as a tool to research, organize, evaluate and communicate

information.

Grade 4 Science: EnergyObjective: Students will conduct brief, focused research in order to define and describe forms of energy and how they may affect the environment.

Time Frame: 1-2 class periods for research; 1-2 class periods for product creation and jigsaw.

Differentiation strategies for this lesson: Direct students to use tools and learning supports

included in our BCPS-licensed databases, such as audio read-aloud and labeled reading levels/Lexiles. See Digital Content Snapshots & Support resources on the ODL Resource Wiki as needed.

Product choice for final productNotes to the teacher:Collaborate with your school library media specialist to implement this lesson. Your LMS can find leveled books on energy forms.This slam dunk could be implemented as a jigsaw in which each student researches only one form of energy, collaborates in an expert group, and then shares with groups who researched a different energy form. A synthesis chart is also provided for students to collect shared information from presentations ( such as a gallery walk of student products).Student choice of organizer: Web or FoldableResources in World Book, Pebble Go, and the Wonders Anthology include a Read Aloud feature. Websites can be read aloud by copying and pasting the text to a Word document (add the “speak selected text” to the quick links toolbar)Readings from the Wonders Anthology listed on the Information Sources page are included in the corresponding Lesson folder(s) in BCPS One. Teachers should assign these links on tiles in BCPS One for student access.
