1. All About Electricity Unit Plan
Wednesday
Analyze the Learner
My class is a fourth grade class of 24 students-- 13 boys and 11 girls.
• 14 of my students are white, 7 are African American, and 3 are
Asian.
• One student has Asperger’s, four have ADHD, and one has
dyslexia.
• Two students are gifted learners.
State the Objectives
By the end of the day, my students will grasp magnets, observe their poles’
behavior, and compare that behavior to that of charges that we discussed earlier
in the week., with 75% of the learners finishing the lesson proficient on the topic.
Select the Methods, Media, and Materials
We will use a poster made on Microsoft power point as a guide for our lesson.
We will also use magnets and objects that are attracted to magnets to help us
understand their behavior. I will also make the charges video available for
review.
Utilize Media and Materials
I will hang my poster about magnets at the front of the room. It is divided into
three sections, which will be our three main points to discuss magnets. We will
manipulate magnets to observe their behavior. Then, we will review the
“Charges” video from earlier in the week.
Require Learner Participation
We will begin class with a discussion, lead by me about magnets. We will use a
magnet poster that is divided into three parts. Each section of the poster will be
a main point of the discussion. We will manipulate magnets and objects
throughout this discussion to enhance our understanding of magnets. Finally, we
will review the “Charges” video from earlier in the week to compare the
similarities of magnetic poles and electrical charges.
Evaluate and Revise
I will assess the class as a whole. I will take into account their discussions to see
if they understand the similarities between magnetic poles and electrical charges.
This will give me an idea of not only their knowledge of magnets, but also of
charges.
