Standard 2.2 Science

heat-transmittance-means1.jpg

This lesson plan I created, Transfer of Heat, is categorized under the content area of physical science for 6th grade. After a teacher demonstration of convection in soup, students are to conduct an experiment on their own. Throughout this lesson, students are asked to make predictions and record observations on various forms of heat transfer. At the end of the lesson, students will describe their understanding of the convection process in both words and pictures. The lesson and related Common Core State Standards are attached below.

This lesson plan also meets ACEI Standard 2.2 because it shows my understanding of physical science. This lesson is a way of teaching through inquiry because students are able to observe and participate in an experiment and reach their own conclusions.

NY- New York State Core Curriculum (updated)
Subject: Science
Grade Range: Intermediate Science
Standard: STANDARD 1—Analysis, Inquiry, and Design Students will use mathematical analysis, scientific inquiry, and engineering design, as appropriate, to pose questions, seek answers, and develop solutions.
Area: SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY:
Key Idea: Key Idea 1: The central purpose of scientific inquiry is to develop explanations of natural phenomena in a continuing, creative process.
Indicator: S1.2 Construct explanations independently for natural phenomena, especially by proposing preliminary visual models of phenomena.
Detail: S1.2a independently formulate a hypothesis
Detail: S1.2c differentiate among observations, inferences, predictions, and explanations
Standard: STANDARD 2—Information Systems Students will access, generate, process, and transfer information, using appropriate technologies.
Area: INFORMATION SYSTEMS:
Key Idea: Key Idea 1: Information technology is used to retrieve, process, and communicate information as a tool to enhance learning.
Indicator: 1.5 Use simple modeling programs to make predictions.
Standard: STANDARD 4: The Physical Setting
Key Idea: Key Idea 4: Energy exists in many forms, and when these forms change energy is conserved.
Performance Indicator: PERFORMANCE INDICATOR 4.1 Describe the sources and identify the transformations of energy observed in everyday life.
Major Understanding: 4.1a The Sun is a major source of energy for Earth. Other sources of energy include nuclear and geothermal energy.
Performance Indicator: PERFORMANCE INDICATOR 4.2 Observe and describe heating and cooling events.
Major Understanding: 4.2a Heat moves in predictable ways, flowing from warmer objects to cooler ones, until both reach the same temperature.
Major Understanding: 4.2b Heat can be transferred through matter by the collisions of atoms and/or molecules (conduction) or through space (radiation). In a liquid or gas, currents will facilitate the transfer of heat (convection).
Major Understanding: 4.2c During a phase change, heat energy is absorbed or released. Energy is absorbed when a solid changes to a liquid and when a liquid changes to a gas. Energy is released when a gas changes to a liquid and when a liquid changes to a solid.
Major Understanding: 4.2d Most substances expand when heated and contract when cooled. Water is an exception, expanding when changing to ice.
