The purpose of this lesson is to introduce my students to static electricity and what causes it. My goal is to create a fun and interesting learning environment that fosters students' curiosity and creates a meaningful learning experience. My lesson is designed to have the students to be able to come up with their own questions and be able to make their own conclusions by participating in hands-on activities.
I just do believe your blog is my FAVORITE!! I also love the book shelf! I know we are not suppose to ask questions like this but i really want to know how you got that on there?
I like cookies. Do you like the color green? I do too. For reallies, your activity was pretty neat. Could you use other items to do the same thing the cheerio did ( other then cereal)?
I love this shelfari thing on your blog. I need to know more about this and how to get this! Do you think you could use other real life examples of static electricity in order to help students understand the concpet better, and if so, what would some be?
I love you blog and the cereal activity was very cool! Would you have them experiment with it first, then report their findings or just tell them what they are supposed to be looking for?
Great video. Students will love the dog eating the cereal at the end. How are you modifying for higher level learners? Is the activities being done in groups for the benefit of lower level learners?
Jordy - I could... but this is not a real class blog
Tiffany - Yes, even though their fourth graders.
Elizabeth - THANKS ;) um Shelfari is on Amazon.com, you have to create an account and you can add books and such.
Jannie - Yes, green is how'd you know?! Um I'm sure anything that doesn't weigh much and has a hole in the middle will work. You can experiment and let me know ;)
Heather - Other than questioning them throughout, I will see how well they make their postively, negatively, and neutrally charged cookies, and they will also do a cylical map to show the process of lightning.
Megan - The class will be divided up into groups because there are other activities/stations they class will do :)
Jeremy - Really Jeremy? I'm pretty sure she'd be fine.
Kayla - Thanks :) Um I would bring extra cereal but I wouldn't let them eat the dangling one.
Stephanie - Yes ma'am
Kasey - The students will be in groups during these activities.
Cindy - (See where I answered Elizabeth) Yes I could use how we get shocked touching door handles or getting out of the car, stuff like that.
Mallory - I would have them predict what would happen and then after they complete the activity, report their findings.
Great Blog. Do you think you could make it more boy friendly?
ReplyDeleteWill you heavily observe the students to make sure they do not pull the string away themselves?

ReplyDeleteGreat activity and blog! Would you have students to conduct this activity in groups, as a class, or individually?
ReplyDeleteGreat video! What would happen if the dog swallowed the string?!!!
ReplyDeleteVery fun activity! What are some questions you ask could your students to promote higher level thinking?
ReplyDeleteLoved your video and lesson plan! Your blog was very good also. What subject matter would you add if you were to teach this in higher grades?
ReplyDeleteYour blog was very "star" worthy!! I love it very much and your video was adorable!! Would you allow the children to eat the ceral for snack?
ReplyDeleteCute blog, and I like the activity! Would you allow the students to make a prediction on what would happen to the froot loop?
ReplyDeleteI loved your activity. Your blog is also very cute. But my question is how can you adapt this activity for higher level and lower level learners?
