This blog was created to post my ideas for a lesson plan about energy. My lesson plan deals specifically with thermal energy and contains three fully planned days to introduce and teach thermal energy in a 5th grade classroom. The full version of my lesson plan can be found on the page titles "Lesson Plan" and the videos created to go along with that lesson plan can be found on the "Media" page.

  7. Hello, Kayla! I really liked the conduction activity. That was one that I had never seen before. I wanted to ask you again how the second activity with the ice cube works. I think I understand, but it's a littel unclear to me. Thanks! Great job! I love the background of this too.

  8. Very well done, Kayla! Love the design of your Blog and I think your lesson is well organized. My pedagogy to you is, where did you find such a fabulous background?

  9. When you do the second experiment in class will you have all students do it or use it as a demonstration by you?

  12. I loved the layout of your lesson plan, it flowed very well. I also enjoyed the videos. I believe that the students will really enjoy the conduction activity and will be eager to learn more. How did you create just a link to your video instead of the video frame showing up?

  13. This blog, lesson plan, and activities were well done. 5th graders will enjoy the penny activity. The lighting on the video was a little dark but viewable. I would have enjoyed some comments on the second activity. Overall, good job!

  14. The activites you did were very explanitory and I think students would love getting to do them, especially the penny experiement. I have never seen it done so I thought it was so cool. I really liked your blog too. My question is if you heated the bottle up in boiling water and put the penny on it will it pop?

  15. Oh and my question... How many times did you have to do your penny activity before it performed successfully?

  16. Will you have an assignment sheet (prediction/outcome) for the activities?

  19. Megan- I created different pages by editing page, adding page. I think... :)
    Jeremy- I would ask them
    Cindy- Convection occurs when heat is transferred through water so the colored ice cube shows how the warm water is pulling the cold water down and transferring the heat
    Lorraine- shabbyblogs.com
    Elizabeth- Students will be in groups and each group will do the experiment
    Jannie- I am unsure of pedagogy, and I went to edit page, add page, and that added tabs.
    Stephanie- I found my activities online, the sites are listed on my lesson plan
    Kasey- Edit post, link, copy and paste the youtube link
    Laura- I think it will still pop because what causes it to pop is the transfer of heat
    Derika- About 3 times
    Regina- No, they will record their observations after the experiment is complete
    Jessica- Yes, they can keep their pennies
