Students will learn about inventors and inventions through group activities using PowerPoints, YouTube videos, web quests and blogs. They will work collaboratively in groups to share ideas and complete hands-on activities. Students will use a computer, Facebook, and websites to research the inventor behind the light bulb and watch tutorials on making a basic light bulb circuit. Each student must explain how their homemade light bulb works to evaluate their understanding of how electricity powers the bulb.

1. Assure Assignment: Wednesday
A- Analyze Learners
3rd
grade social studies class, middle to lower income, in a public school system. Students are
of 75% White, 20% Black, and 5% Hispanic. Approximately 25 students, 15 male, 10 female.

web quest, and blogs by the end of the week with 100% accuracy.
S- Select Methods, Media, and Materials
Method: A lot of in group activity, learning this as a collaborative group. This will give the students

understanding on what the process is
Media: PowerPoint, Facebook, Web Access
Materials: Computer with Internet access, size d battery, two pieces of insulated wire, a light bulb,
and electrical tape
U- Utilize Methods, Media, and Materials
With the powerpoint, it will give an understand to the person behind the light bulb act, and
enhance their knowledge about it. Using Facebook will most likely give a bing search, but with
supervision, most students will find a reliable tutorial on how to create a light bulb. Lastly we are
going to use a pre found site, with materials on hand to make our own light bulb that lights
R- Require Learner Participation
Each student in a group will be required to give an explanation or demonstration on why they
believe the light bulb is being powered.
E- Evaluate and Revise
From seeing how the students will work in a group, and creating the light bulb will show me if they are

2. understand the material that was presented prior that day. Asking them questions about why they
believe will also enhance it.
