Types of Energy

LESSON OVERVIEW

Types of Energy

INSTRUCTIONAL GOALS

 The students will be able to define energy as well as be able to identify the different forms of energy.

As a component of math, students will convert Fahrenheit to Celsius as well as converting the number of kilowatt hours from out meter boxes.

 TN STANDARDS

Math SPI:  6.1.9

Science SPI:  6.14.3

FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT

Students will create a “matching” game or “concentration” game.  (The students will write types of energy and examples of each on 3x5 index cards. They then will match them together accordingly or turn them upside down for a concentration game.

LESSON ORGANIZATION

Opening the Lesson:
10 minutes

Teacher will begin by inquiry method in which students will name as many forms of energy as possible.

The students will then listen to science song, “What is Energy”

                               

At the conclusion of the song the students will then attempt to name all forms of energy named.

Students may also view the Brain Pop videos if a subscription is acquired.

 

Developing the Lesson:
20 minutes

Students will write on an index card the forms of energy and write the examples of each type of energy.

(nuclear, mechanical, solar, electrical, radiant, heat, light, magnetic, chemical)

Closing the Lesson:
_15_ minutes

Games that teachers can incorporate are endless.  With the flash cards made, students can quiz each other. Cards can also be hung on the board for a Jeopardy game or even a game of concentration. Student can play charades or win lose or draw with each of these words as well.

TEACHING RESOURCES

Most teachers can use their adopted text books or supplemental material. Use of the internet is recommended, calculators, index cards, markers or construction paper.

LAB SAFETY

There is no lab activity for this exercise.

ACCOMMODATIONS FOR SPECIAL LEARNERS

Any students who may need modifications may have pre-made cards with vocabulary and definitions. These students may also benefit from having a picture or illustration for the different energy types. They may also need to have printed sheets with the exact buttons to push into the calculator when converting from Fahrenheit to Celsius.

ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES

Students can write birth announcements, obituaries, short stories about the different types of energy including their characteristics or make illustrations for them.
