Energy: Watts Going On?

This lesson plan engages students in understanding energy consumption through interactive activities and games. Starting with a discussion on electrical devices used at home, students participate in the "Watts Up?" game to predict energy usage. They then use a watt meter to investigate energy consumption of various devices and explore methods of producing light and heat. The curriculum emphasizes renewable, sustainable, and non-renewable energy systems. Assessment includes enjoyable video commercials to reinforce learning. Ideal for a one-week timeframe, fostering both excitement and knowledge about energy.

  2. Introduction • Student Engagement: What electrical devices did you use at home before you came to school this morning? • Watts Up? Game: Predict which device uses the most energy. • Greatest Inventions by Bill Nye: Energy

  3. Station 1 Use the watt meter to determine which items use the most energy

  4. Station 2 Investigate different ways to make light (chemical, mechanical, electrical, thermal)

  5. Station 3 Investigate different ways to form heat energy. (thermal)

  6. Station 4 Classify the different forms of systems as renewable, sustainable or non renewable.
