Detecting Magnets
Context: The Five E's Lesson Plan was created in the second session of Block II during the summer of 2005 in GS 4401- Science Methods. The lesson plan was developed by Emily Dagenhardt and myself for Professor Gail Bastarache. The science lesson addresses the NC SCOS Science Competency Goal 3 for Grade Four. We used FOSS kits as well as instructional materials found in our classroom and on the Internet to develop this lesson plan.
Impact: This lesson plan is to be used as an introduction to electricity and magnetism in the fourth grade. Through the use of an engagement and exploration activity as well as a few written and oral instructions, several of the various styles of learning are addressed including but not limited to visual, oral, written language, and bodily-kinesthetic. This lesson is a great way to engage students and begin the process of investigating electricity and magnetism.
