WOW

Subject:Physical Science
Time: 4th
Period
Monday, Date:
12/15/08
Day # / NCSCS Objectives:
Objective4.01 Investigate and analyze the nature of static electricity and the conservation of electrical charge: Positive and negative charges, opposite charges attract and like charges repel, analyze the electrical charging of objects due to the transfer of charge.
Objective 4.02: The student will investigate and analyze direct current electrical currents: ohm’s law, series circuits, and parallel circuits.
Procedures:
  • .Quick write
  • Lecture/Notes/Discussion: (learning styles met)
  • Chapter/Topic: Chapter 20
  • Introduce electricity, static electricity, electric currents, insulators, resistance and ohm’s law.
  • Guided Practice: (learning styles met) I will read students quick writes while students watch a brain pop movie on electric currents, then give them feedback. I will then introduce electricity, static electricity, electric currents, conductors, insulators, resistance, and ohm’s law.
  • Independent Practice: (learning styles met):Students will write a quick write then watch a brain pop movie then take notes on electricity, static electricity, electric currents, conductors, insulators, resistance, and ohm’s law.
  • Closure: Q & A for comprehension
Text/Materials:
  • Textbook: Prentice Hall-Physical Science Concepts in Action
  • Worksheets/Handouts:
  • Supplies: pencils, book,
Evaluation:
  • Students will be evaluated on material presented by their guided practice and independent practice work in class.

Day # / NCSCS Objectives:
. Objective 4.01 Investigate and analyze the nature of static electricity and the conservation of electrical charge: Positive and negative charges, opposite charges attract and like charges repel, analyze the electrical charging of objects due to the transfer of charge.
Objective 4.02: The student will investigate and analyze direct current electrical currents: ohm’s law, series circuits, and parallel circuits.
.Procedures:
  • Students will copy three multiple-choice questions from the overhead. We will then review the questions aloud in class with the correct answer. Test-taking strategies will be incorporated in teaching students to choose the best possible answer choice. This is a good method for preparing students for End-of-Course testing.
  • Lecture/Notes/Discussion: (learning styles met)
  • Chapter/Topic: 20
  • Ohm’s law quiz
  • Demonstration of static electricity
  • Electric circuits, series, parallel calculate power & energy
  • Guided Practice: (learning styles met): I will give students a short quiz on Ohm’s law and then show a demonstration on static electricity. Then I will review electric circuits and calculations of power and energy.
  • Independent Practice: (learning styles met): Students will take a short quiz then watch demonstration of static electricity. Students will listen to review of previews lesson and take notes on calculating power and energy.
  • Closure: quick write
Text/Materials:
  • Textbook: Prentice Hall-Physical Science Concepts in Action
  • Worksheets/Handouts: quiz
  • Supplies: book, pencils, calculators
Evaluation:
  • Students will be evaluated on material presented by their guided practice and independent practice work in class.

Date: 12/17/08
Day # / NCSCS Objectives.
Objective 4.02: The student will investigate and analyze direct current electrical currents: ohm’s law, series circuits, and parallel circuits.
4.03 The learner will investigate and analyze magnetism and the practical applications of the characteristics of magnets: permanent magnets, electromagnetism, and movement of electrical charges.
Procedures:
Students will copy three multiple-choice questions from the overhead. We will then review the questions aloud in class with the correct answer. Test-taking strategies will be incorporated in teaching students to choose the best possible answer choice. This is a good method for preparing students for End-of-Course testing
