Electricity and Our Final Energy Project
The last component of energy we learned about was electricity. Each class completed a KWL chart at the beginning and end of the week.
We learned that electric current is caused by moving electrons inside atoms. Students learned to distinguish positively charged atoms, negatively charged atoms, and neutrally charged atoms based on the number of protons and electrons.
Students learned about simple and complex circuits. We also had guest speakers from Alabama Power come and do lessons about electricity, power lines, and safety.
We culminated our study of energy with group projects. Students created interactive posters displaying different forms of energy based on the following rubric:
Friday, each group presented their interactive poster to the class!
