Lesson Overview

A brief summary of the lesson and the expected outcomes.

Overview

Students will learn about various types of energy and how to conserve energy.  They will then create a video for elementary age children.

 

Engaging Questions

The task asks students to show their "know how" on something important and challenging, not just their knowledge.

Engaging /
Essential Questions

What are different types of energy? What is energy conservation? What is a PSA (Publis Service Announcement)? What are good persuasive techniques for kids? for adults?

 

Authentic Learning

The task reflects what people might actually do in the real-world; including real life issues, themes, and problems.

Activities

Students will reserach the different forms of energy and how to conserve energy.

Students will write a storyboard for their video.

Students will create a PSA for energy conservations.

Students will present the video to the appropriate age group.

High Level Thinking Processes

The task requires complex-thinking skills (critical/creative thinking, decision making, problem solving)

Bloom's Taxonomy

Knowledge , Analysis , Synthesis , Application , Evaluation  

Description

Knowledge - Define energy conservation, kilowatt, kilowatt hour, how do you computer the cost of electricity?, different forms of power, the power formula for electrical current, carbon used/saved for appliances. Analysis - Analyze electrical usage and begin to develop an understanding of the mathematical formulas which relate to energy conservation and use. Application - Students will create a program to calculate energy usage and carbon output for appliances to generate information to use for their PSA. Synthesis - Students will create a PSA. The PSA is a 1 - 1:30 (minute) video targeted for 4-8 year olds. The PSA will explain how to conserve energy on a daily basis (e.g. Turn off lights). Evaluation - Students, Teachers and audience will provide feedback to shape the overall evaluations.

 

Differentiated Instruction

Instruction is tailored to the learning readiness, cultural background, interests, talents, and learning profiles of the students.
