Acquisition Lesson Plan
Name: 6th Grade
Dates for the Lesson:
Topic: Unit 5 Force and Motion
Unit 5 Force and Motion / Key Learning: The students will understand how gravity and
moving magnets produce electricity.
Unit Essential Question: How does gravity and moving magnets produce electricity?
What do students need to learn to be able to answer the Essential Question?
Assessment Prompt 1: What effects gravitational force?
Assessment Prompt 2: How does magnetism produce an electrical force?
Activating Strategy: (Hook and Link; Anticipatory Set; Vocabulary)


AP #1 – Take 10 minutes and split class into groups. Pass out various types of magnets to each
group. Let student experiment with their magnets. Discuss findings.
AP#2 –List items they use that take electricity. How would your life change if suddenly there was
no more electricity?
Key vocabulary to preview:
Section 1 (AP 1): gravitational force, electric current, speed, velocity
Section 2 (AP 2): voltage, current, resistance, ohms law, electromagnetism, magnetic force, electric charge
Teaching Strategies: Prior Knowledge, graphic organizers, vocabulary 4 square, vocabulary pictures
Graphic Organizer: foldable (compare/contrast), concept map
Instruction: (Step by step instructions for the lesson)
Don’t forget to THINK PAIR SHARE, INK PAIR SHARE AND SUMMARIZE!

Activation strategy for AP#1.
Introduce but don’t worry about mastery of the following items: speed, velocity, gravitational
force, electric charge, magnetic force, gravity.
Speed and velocity experiment using matchbox cars and tracks
Electromagnet and compass experiment to describe how moving electric charges produce
magnetic forces.
Electric charge- discuss static charges. Use balloon and various types of cloth. Which makes the
most charge?
AP#2 *Don’t forget to Pair Share* or * Ink Pair Share* Summarize OFTEN!!!!
 Activating Strategy for AP#2- (before you begin, make sure you go over all rules of “lab work”)
 AP#3 Don’t forget to Pair Share* or * Ink Pair Share* Summarize
OFTEN!!!!
 Complete the activating strategy for AP#3.
 Teach the following for more mastery of the topic: electromagnetism, voltage, current, resistance,
