Students will understand that energy is the most important theme to the physical sciences because all physical phenomena and interactions involve energy. b. Students will observe and understand the properties of electricity. 2. Lesson Content a. Electric circuit, and experiments with simple circuit 3. Skill Objective(s) a. The student will use the skill of observation in conducting scientific experiments. b. The student will predict the outcome of a scientific experiment. c. The student will draw conclusions from scientific experiences. d. The student will be able to follow a simple set of directions. e. The student will conduct a circuit. B. Materials (for each circuit) 1. 2 insulated copper wires 2. bulb in a bulb holder (6-volt flashlight bulbs are preferred) 3. 2 alligator clips (optional) 4. battery (6-volt lantern battery is preferred) Hair Raising Ideas, Grade Conference 5
6 C. Key Vocabulary 1. insulated- covered with material in order to stop electricity from escaping D. Procedures/Activities 1. Instruct the students to strip the ends of the wire and to twist an alligator clip onto the end of each wire. (Although these clips are not required, they make the wires easier to handle in these activities.) 2. Show the students how to connect the wire ends to the battery terminals. (For D size batteries, the ends will have to be taped to the battery. For 4,5 or 6-volt batteries with post type terminals, the wire ends can be twisted to the posts.) 3. Tell the students to make several different battery, wire, and bulb holder connections which do not complete the circuit. 4. Have students predict which examples they believe will light the bulb. 5. Test student predictions. Use these predictions: a. Connect only one wire between a battery terminal and one side of the bulb holder. b. Connect both wires between one battery terminal and one side of the bulb holder. c. Connect both wires to one battery and attach each end to a different side of the bulb holder. d. Connect each wire to a different battery terminal and connect both ends to one side of the bulb holder. e. Connect one wire between the battery terminals and connect the other wire between one of the terminals and the bulb holder. 6. Also provide students with several non-circuit examples so students can test each one and compare the results. 7. Let students make a complete circuit. Have them clip one wire to the bulb holder. Students will predict what will happen. Nothing will happen until a student clips the second wire to the terminal of the bulb holder, then the bulb will glow. 8. Tell students to trace the path from the battery to the bulb holder and back to the battery. They should see that the path is unbroken. This means the circuit is complete. 9. Have students remove one wire from the battery; the light goes out because the circuit is broken. 10. Tell students to disconnect the battery when they are finished experimenting. This will make the battery and bulb last longer. E. Evaluation/Assessment 1. Students will be evaluated by teacher observation while students are experimenting with circuits.
