This unit plan outlines teaching third grade students about different types of energy over the course of a week. Each day will focus on a new type of energy, how it is used, and examples. Students will learn through videos, web quests, or podcasts. To assess learning, students will present one type of energy to the class on the last day, explaining its definition, examples, how it helps, and showing their own experiment video. The goal is for students to have 100% knowledge of the various energy types by the end of the week.

ASSURE
A: Teaching Different Types of Energy to a group of third graders. The class has
15 students, 10 African American, 3 Jewish and 2 Muslims. Five of them are hands
on learners, and the rest have no disabilities.
S: The students will be going over the different types of energy for a week (5 days).
Each day they will learn a new type of energy and how effects energy, along with
the way we use it. By the end of the week they will be 100 percent knowledgeable
on this subject. They will be able to tell me on the last day their research on their
type of energy and give me an example.
S: For every day, a type of energy will be explored. They will be taught the name
of the energy, the way it helps us in daily life, and examples of the type of energy.
U: First day: Go over all types of energies we use daily (this will be the day I find
out what they already know).
Second day: Go over Chemical energy
Third Day: Go over Elastic energy
Fourth Day: Go over Gravitational Energy
Fifth / Last Day: The student will present their type of Energy
R: On each day the Student will learn explore that energy, either by video, web
quest, or podcast.
E: For the presentation, I will expect them to provide their type of energy
information: definition, examples, how it helps, and their own experiment video.
