CURIT – CURRICULUM UNIT REVISION INFUSING TECHNOLOGYUNIT IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
SECTION 1: GENERAL INFORMATION
UNIT TITLE Electricity
UNIT SUMMARY
This unit is designed to extend and expand the student’s understanding of electricity. Students will become aware of the role of energy in our world and the role electricity and energy plays within that. The students will identify characteristics of how we get electricity to our school and home. They will understand static electricity through shocks in the wintertime and that it will not transfer if there are no materials to transfer through. Electricity is transmitted differently depending on the medium; some materials are conductors others are insulators. Students will recognize that electricity is conducted and absorbed depending on the properties of materials. Students will perceive that factors affect the resistance of materials.
To effectively engage students and enhance their knowledge, this unit encompasses a variety of learning opportunities, some of which include, but are not limited to: internet resources, Smart Board activities, literature, worksheets, etc.
PERQUISITE SKILLS
UNIT DURATION (EX. 2 WKS.) Two weeks
SECTION 2: CURRICULUM ALIGNMENT
