Lesson Question
How can we model energy transfer into a cold drink?
Learning Tasks
- Do Now– Open your ISN and add to the Table of Contents- “Final Energy Transfer Model p.45” (Right Side). Head p.45 properly with “Final Energy Transfer Model 1/24/19.”
- Turn and Talk– What have we figured out about the cold drink warming up?
- Model– How can we model energy transfer into the cold drink? You will draw two detailed diagrams of the cups to explain how energy got inside the cold drink. On ISN p.45, draw one model that shows a cup with one wall and one model of a cup with two walls. Answer the following questions below your models on ISN p.45 or on a flip page: How is the energy getting into the cups in your diagrams? Where does the energy come from? What happens to the energy that gets absorbed into the cups? What happens to the energy that does not get absorbed into the cups? How is the energy getting into the cold drink from the cups? How is the cup with two walls different from the cup with one wall?
- Presentation of Models/Consensus-Building Discussion– 3-4 student scientists present their models to the class and explain all elements of their model, using questions as a guide. What did you notice that was similar across all the models? What did you notice that was different?
- Brain Break- The Color of That Dress SciShow
- Model Tracker– What have we figured out that helps us answer the question “How can we model energy transfer into a cold drink?” Summarize the main model ideas about energy transfer that we figured out in the consensus model. Add to the Model Tracker on ISN pages 18-19 (or continue to pages 20-21).
- Driving Question Board (DQB)– What questions can we answer now? What are we still wondering about?
- Exit Ticket– How can we design a cup to keep a drink cold? Write an answer to the question now, and use evidence from your investigations to explain your response.
