Lesson Question

How is energy getting into the cup, if not from collisions with air?

Learning Tasks

1. Do Now– Open your ISN and add to the Table of Contents- Lamp Demonstration p.43 (Right Side). Head p.43 properly with “Lamp Demonstration 1/10/19.”
2. Write-Pair-Share– What did we figure out was missing from our model for energy transfer into the cold drink? On ISN p.43, record the following question:  “How is energy getting into the cup, if not from collisions with air particles? If air is bad at transferring energy through particle collisions, how is energy getting into the cup in the first place?”
3. Scientific Language Key Word– On ISN p.43, record the definition of Radiation– Energy transfer by invisible waves that carry energy between stuff that isn’t touching. Ex. Between you and a fire, heater, or the sun. Record the term Radiation in the Index in the back of your ISN.
4. Lamp Demonstration– Observe this demonstration for evidence of radiation. Put your hand a couple feet in front of a lamp with a 100 watt bulb that is turned off. What do you feel? Then turn the bulb on. What do you feel? Diagram radiation from the lamp on ISN p.43. What is happening inside your hand on a particle scale when your hand feels warmer? What do you think is making those particles move faster if air is not colliding with them? How did you represent the invisible waves in your diagrams?
5. Video Segments– How does a vacuum pump work? Mr. Wizard and What happens if your body is exposed to the vacuum of space? Sci Show
6. Lamp Analogy Map– On the “Demonstration: The Lamp” student handout, relate the physical model of the lamp to the phenomenon of the Sun in space. Fill in the first row as a class, and then work with your partner to complete the other rows. Then, tape the handout as a flip page to ISN p.43.

Block 8- SEL

1. Introduction- On a sticky note, list 3 people you admire- someone in the community, a family member, an adult/student in the school, etc.
2. Word Splash- On your table group, create a Word Splash- a list of words- about the people you admire using words that represent why you admire them.
3. Video Segment- Inspiring Role Models
4. Discussion Questions- What are some similarities among all the people you admire? How do personal role models positively influence your life? The people we admire can inspire us. How are you inspired?

Learning Question

How does energy transfer into a cold drink when it warms up?

Learning Tasks

1. Do Now– Copy down today’s homework assignment in your planner. Open your ISN and add to the Table of Contents- “Touching Hot & Cold” p.37 (Right Side). Head p.37 properly with “Touching Hot & Cold-11/29/18.″
2. Consensus Model– Observe individual student scientists’ models in Google slides. What do you notice that is similar across all models? Is there anything that you think is different about your model? We’re going to take stock of the ideas in everyone’s models to build a class consensus model that everyone agrees upon and that explains what happens to cause a drink to warm up inside a cup. Remind students of class norms for productive scientific discussions and refer to the Communicating in Scientific Ways on ISN p.14. As student scientists offer proposals, create a public representation of the consensus model on chart paper. Agree on how we should represent cold and hot, particle motion, temperature as average kinetic energy, etc.
3. Scientific Language Key Term– Introduce key term- conduction. Add definition below model on ISN p.34- “Heating that happens when two things of different temperatures touch and the particles with more energy collide with particles with less energy and transfer their movement.” Add the key term conduction to Index.
4. Brain Break– Optical illusions
5. Modeling Hot and Cold– What are some examples of conduction from our own experiences? Think about times you’ve touched something and it feels hot or it feels cold. When you touch something and it feels hot or it feels cold, the particles from the object and the particles of your hand are colliding. What can we say about conduction when something feels hot? How is it different when something feels cold? Let’s model these ideas! On ISN p.37, draw two models to help explain what is happening to your hands to experience hot or cold. Draw a diagram on the top half for what is happening on a particle scale when you touch something hot like a pot from the stove. Share your model with your partner and then revise, if necessary. Then draw a diagram on the bottom half for what is happening on a particle scale when you touch something cold like an ice cube. Share your mode with your partner then revise.

Wednesday, 10/24/18- A Day- Block Schedule Periods 1, 3, 5, & 7

Lesson Question

What’s happening to the drink as it warms up?

Learning Tasks

1. Do Now– Copy down today’s homework assignment in your planner. Get out your ISN and add to the Table of Contents- “Lab Diagram” p.24 (Left Side). Head p.24 properly with “Lab Diagram-Warming Up-10/24/18″.
2. Initial Ideas Discussion– Share our observations of what we saw by describing those observations clearly. Make sure we saw similar things and see if anyone noticed something different from other groups. Each group share an observation. Then share explanations for how & why food coloring moved in water & why it moved differently.
3. Lab Diagram & Scientific Language Key Term– Set up ISN p.24. Draw zoomed-in bubbles to use as a model. Observe the Heating and Cooling a Liquid simulation. It may help us explain our food coloring observations. Think about how to draw particles and how to represent different kinds of motion of particles. Water is made of the same type of particle, so how is warm water different than cold water? Model these differences in your zoomed-in bubble. Introduce key term- kinetic energy. Add definition on ISN p.24.
4. Brain Break Video Segment– Can You Trust Your Eyes?, Can You Trust Your Ears?, Will This Trick Your Ears?
5. Set up Index– Count back 6 pages from end. Label first of those pages on top- Index. Draw a cross with a ruler to separate each page into 4 boxes. There should be 24 boxes. Label each box with a letter of the alphabet. Double up Q/R and X/Y. There should be one letter for each box with the exception of Q/R and X/Y. Now you are ready to enter the vocabulary word- Kinetic Energy p.24.
6. Self-Reflection for ISN- MP1– Go to your Google Classroom for this task.
7. Exit Tweet– What’s happening to the drink as it warms up?
