Electricity: Students as Inventors Package (2 classes)

The Electricity: Students as Inventors Package

This is a dynamic teaching resource specially designed for sixth-grade science students. It focuses on the topic of Electricity, encouraging students to be inventive and fully immersed in the scientific process.

Three Components of Learning

The package comprises three distinct resources, each tailored for different parts of the learning process:

• Students as Inventors Lesson Plan: A comprehensive guide for educators with clear steps promoting student creativity while maintaining focus on electricity concepts.
• Alexander Graham Bell Biography: Gives historical context to engage learners along with aligning directly with learning objectives. This can extend class periods if necessary but isn't mandatory.
• Invention Guidelines: Designed specifically for group work activities which emphasize understanding electric circuits principles, enhancing creative thought processes and honing problem-solving skills within given parameters.

Versatile Implementation

This package can adapt to a variety of teaching methods such as full-class instruction, small groups or even self-guided homework assignments!

Fiscal & Resource Efficiency

No need to make additional purchases- this electricity lesson plan uses existing classroom materials! Implement this enjoyable educational resource without concern over unnecessary budget spending!

Resource 1. Students as Inventors lesson plan: Your Guide!

Resource 2. Biography on Alexander Graham Bell: An interest read for students. Can be read aloud as part of a shared reading at the beginning of the lesson but does not have to be since the lesson will easily extend for the duration of a 45 minute period without reading the biography as part of the lesson.

Resource 3. Invention Guidelines: I recommend printing one per group.
