Activities
Activating Strategy:
(5 min) KWL Chart – Students
will complete a KWL chart with
a partner to share all the
information they already know
about electricity. Share what
they know and add questions to
the “W” column of the class
KWL chart.
Activating Strategy:
(5 min.) Review new vocabulary
words and use them in a sentence.
Teacher Directed:
(5 min.) Introduce new
vocabulary words and add them
to student science notebooks.
Guided Practice:
(15 – 20 min.) Students will work
with partners to skim through the
text and complete the lesson
outline. Students should
reference the text when they
answer each question.
Guided Practice:
(20 min.) Students will watch a
United Streaming video about
Static Electricity.
(5-10 min.) Students will work
with a partner to complete the
Program Quiz questions to show
comprehension of the video.
The class should check their
answers when everyone has
finished.
Independent Practice:
(3 min.) Students will think
about a time when they
experienced static electricity
and write about it in their
science notebook. Share a few
stories when students have
finished.
Closure:
Ticket out the door – Choose
one vocabulary word and create
a sentence.
Teacher Directed:
(20 min.) Share read pgs. F70-F75.
Students will help the teacher
create an anchor chart of good
insulators and conductors.
Independent Practice:
(5 min.) Students will add three
new facts they learned about
static electricity and lightning to
their KWL charts. Share ideas and
add to the classroom KWL chart.
Closure:
Ticket out the door: Write one
question you still have about
electricity or lightning.
