Day 6
Electrical Energy Consumption, Safety Devices & Hazards of Electricity Learning Activities: 1. Calculate the cost of household electrical energy consumption. http://www.webmath.com/kwh.html 2. mini-lecture on electric safety devices and the hazards of electricity. Assessment: Post suggestions on a Padlet wall www.Padlet.com |
Day 7
Generation and Conservation of Electricity Learning Activities: 1. Students will learn how energy is generated and conserved though an online game. http://www.wonderville.ca/asset/save-the-world Assessment: Students will write a brief reflection about the concepts learned in the activity. |
Days 8 & 9
Project Making Activity (Conservation of Electricity) Learning Activities: Students will work in pairs and create a comic strip that demonstrates ways to conserve electricity around their home. In their comic strip, they should explain why saving electricity is important and they should suggest ways on how to conserve energy in their homes. Students will use an online comic strip software. http://mashable.com/2010/10/24/create-your-own-comics/ Assessment: Rubrics for Comic Strip Project http://samplehcplan.weebly.com/other-resources.html |
