Engage
PURPOSE:
to convey the context of the lesson(s)/unit by conveying an important Key Question
to engage students in investigations that reveal their thinking to themselves and the teacher
to record the initial ideas of students
to engage their interest
Key Question:
What is the simple circuit?
Questions for whole group discussion:
Question on the board "what is the simple circuit?"
Teacher

Teacher will put the question on the board; she will

ask the students about how the lamp shines?
To make the students know that the simple circuit
make the light shine.

Student

Students try to answer the teacher questions.

Explore
PURPOSE:
to test ideas and develop knowledge using explorations, investigations, experiments
to modify and record ideas as they change due to activities
to develop new questions and testable hypotheses
Activities (list)

Pictures on the board.

Driving Question
What we call this thing?
For what we use it?

Teacher
