CURICULAR OBJECTIVES
General Learner Expectations
Students will:
5-5 Demonstrate safe methods for the study of magnetism and electricity, identify methods for
measurement and control, and apply techniques for evaluating magnetic and electrical properties
of materials.
Specific Learner Expectations
Students will:
Recognize and appreciate the potential dangers involved in using sources of electrical currents:
understand that household electrical currents are potentially dangerous and not a suitable source
for experimentation
understand that small batteries are a relatively safe source of electricity, for experimentation and
study, but that care should be taken to avoid short circuits
understand that short circuits may cause wires to heat up, as well as waste the limited amount of
energy in batteries.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Students will:
1. Understand what electricity is and how it moves
2. Understand how electricity can be dangerous and what sources are safe to experiment with

notes on
Introduction
Time
The next unit that we have in Science in Electricity and
magnetism
Display a battery hooked up to light at the front of the
class
1min
Explain that students will have the opportunity to
experiment wit materials like the ones displayed at the
front but first we must understand two things
o What electricity is
o And how to experiment with it safely
Introduction
Where Electricity comes from
How Electricty Travels
Body
Atoms and Electricity
Display Atom on the board
Using Questions and explanation explain he following
about atoms

All mater is made up of atoms

Atoms are made of protons neutrons and electrons
Explain that protons and neutrons are positively charged
and that electrons are negatively charged
Electricity is the energy made from the movement of
theses electrons
Draw on the board an examples of electrons moving from one
atom to the next
Ask students to draw the same diagram in their notes
Under their diagram have them define
o Electricity the energy made as electrons move
from one atom to another
o Electrical Current- When electrons move on a
continues path through an object
Discuss both words through discussion
Have students explain both terms to a partner across from
them
Assessment
Students being able to explain the definitions of both
words to partner will demonstrate a basic
understanding of what electricity is and how it moves
Differentiation
Students will draw, hear, and explain what electricity is
and how it moves
Conductors, Insulators, and Resistors
Write the three words on the board and have the students
write them on their notes page
Explain and discuss the three terms as a class
Conductor material that electricity travels through quickly
and easily
Insulator- material that electricity passes through slowly
Resistor slows down speed of electrical current and
transfers electricity into heat, light, movement or sound
Have students explain what

5-7min

Assessment
We will be out in the hall
How should we act?
What should our volume be like?
How will we react when I say eyes here Grade 5
We are old enough to not need to be reminded continually
If we cant handle the hall we will return to the classroom
Physical Representation of Electricity and Current
Review Expectations for behavior
Electrical Flow (outlined in XVI)
Using fishing line have one make and imaginary cord
run from one end to the other
Have students act as electrons that run from one end
to the other
Gradually add resisters students to be in the way and
relate this to another type of metal
Gradually add more resistors
Once the electricity has to come to a complete stop
explain that this could be an insulator like our skin
Ask students what would happen if we placed our
finger on the end of the wire?

Safety discussion
Continue back to class to discuss what would happen if
we where to touch the end explain
Skin is an insulator
Skin is strong enough to insulate against 1.5 volt
batteries
Volts are electric units of measurement
Household outlets are110volts
Skin will not insulate against that kind of power
Explain neurons
Explain effects on the body muscles lungs heart
Explain that this can happen at only 30 volts
Ask students to write in their own words why electricity can be
dangerous in their notes
Review notes to ensure understanding of electrical danger
clarify next class if there is misunderstanding
