Zap, Zap, Zap! Spark your students’ curiosity and illuminate their understanding of electromagnet with this captivating resource. Designed to be both informative and engaging, this resource explores the fascinating world of electromagnetism, covering everything from its fundamental concepts to important aspects of electricity safety. Students will have the opportunity to delve into hands-on experiments, using simple materials such as batteries, wires, and nails to create their very own electromagnets. As they witness the power of these electromagnets firsthand, their curiosity will be piqued, fueling their desire to learn more about this incredible phenomenon. The fun doesn't stop there - students will also be able to put their electromagnets to practical use by using them to collect paper clips. To enhance the learning experience, students will then enter the data they collect into a convenient Google spreadsheet, allowing for further analysis and exploration of the results. By the end of this lesson, it is my hope that students will not only have gained a deeper understanding of electromagnetism but also develop a genuine enthusiasm for science and a desire to continue exploring its mysteries.

Rating
0.0 stars

Students will create a “social media post” to communicate something they want to barter. After learning what it means to barter, each student will be given a mystery bag (each containing different items). They will be told they have to barter at least one thing in their bag. They will draw/create an “Instagram post” with what they want to barter. We will then display them and students will walk around and view the posts. After viewing they will each get 2 hearts to place on items “like” and they would like to exchange in the barter. Students will then discuss with one another and barter until everyone has bartered one thing.

Students will be shown a YouTube Video about different types of electronic communication. There will then be a whole class discussion about 3 specific types (e-mail, social media, and text messages). They will then be given individual LCD tablets and asked to either write A (Email), B (Social Media), or C (Text Messages) for what they would use to send information in certain scenarios that the teacher gives. The teacher will have 3 cards made with A and a picture of email on it, B and a picture of social media platforms on it, and C with a picture of a cell phone on it to help guide students and remind them what to write on their panels. They will hold these up when they are done and a discussion will be done of each scenario.
