P4: Energy Transfer

Students will be working with creating series and parallel circuits. Students will gain an understanding of the components used to create circuits and how circuits function in our everyday lives.

In this engaging lesson, students explore and observe thermal shock by watching marbles bake and placed in ice water. Science and math concepts are covered in this unique lesson as well as visual arts

Using rock salt, ice, juice, and thermometers, students will use their inquiry framework to investigate how slushies are made and see if they are able to replicate the results of a traditional slushy

Students will explore energy, electricity, and engineering in this hands-on lesson using the Kidwind kit to create a wind turbine.

In this lesson students will discuss how contact forces cause energy to be transferred and objects to move. They will learn that sound waves involve contact forces. Students will consider how contact

Students will be working cooperatively to explore wind energy and electricity by engineering wind turbine blades.

Students in this lesson will be recording weather data for the city that each student has chosen for 2-3 weeks. Students will be able to record and analyze weather patterns for a selected city

In this hands-on lesson, students will construct a paper windmill. They put it to the test by using a fan to see how their fan holds up to the wind. This is a great way to cover science, engineering

This lesson plan focuses around 4 key topics, with activities for each. The plan covers renewable energy, solar energy, why solar energy is important, and what the children can do to conserve energy
