2.
Students will construct closed circuits in order to produce
measurable affects.
Students will design a path of an electrical circuit in order to
light bulb.
Warm-Up: How will you engage students in learning? How will you connect the lesson to
their prior knowledge?
1. Students will match light bulb, wires, battery, and switch with appropriate symbols
used to diagram electrical circuits.
2. (5-7) minutes, may or may not work with partner

Statement of Objective: What should students know and do
1 5 E’s 1 DTA
as a result of the lesson?
Teacher-Monitored Activities: What will students do together
to use new concepts or skills? How will you assist students in
this process?
1. Students will construct a single
series circuit loop with preorganized materials, without
guidance.
2. Each group will give a brief
explanation,
3. Guided Practice.
4. Use different materials to
demonstrate conduction, insulator,
to complete a closed circuit.
5. Explain why certain materials
complete a closed circuit:
conductors, insulators, function of
a switch, movement of electrons
through the wires
Extension, Refinement, and Practice Activities: What opportunities will students have to use the new skills and concepts in a meaningful way? How will students
expand and solidify their understanding of the concept and apply it to a real-world situation? How will students demonstrate their mastery of the essential learning
outcomes?
1. Students will work in small groups or pairs to design closed circuits with a switch.
2. Students must record their circuit on an index card by drawing a diagram using the appropriate symbols (wire)____, (switch) ._.

Ongoing Assessment: How will you monitor student progress throughout the lesson?
I will monitor student’s progress throughout the lesson by verifying their results for each step of their work.
Culminating Assessment: How will you ensure that all students have mastered the identified learning indicators? How will you assess their learning?
The Einstein : Lesson plan one unit electricity and magnetism objective c2bcd July 13th 2010
Teacher will assess students learning by their complete assignments, answering questions correctly, and telling the
teacher what they learned today. Students pass their index card w/diagram to a different group; that group must
construct the diagramed closed/open circuit and explain the diagram on a separate index card.

Closure Activities: Through this teacher-guided activity, how will you assist students in reflecting upon what they learned today and preparing for tomorrow’s lesson?
What homework will be assigned to help students practice, prepare, or elaborate on a concept or skill taught?
Closure &
Homework
Closure: I will ask the students what they have learned and how they can apply it to their own lives.
Home work: 1. List five circuits that you have at home.
DAILY LESSON PLANNER - RESOURCE PLANNER
Text Resources
How will various forms of text (e.g., print, video,
etc.) be used to help learners develop a deeper
understanding of the key concepts and skills? What
text resources can be utilized to assist learners in
enhancing literary experiences?
Students can access the in-class
media center, to gain a deeper
understanding of circuits.
(Discovery Education video The
Magic School Bus Gets Charged.)
Hands-On Experiences and/or
Manipulative Usage
What hands-on experiences and/or manipulatives
will be used to help students develop an
understanding of key skills and processes for
investigation?
Technology Resources
How can the use of technology enhance the learning
experience? What tools may be accessed to further
develop students’ skills in using technology as an
integrated part of their learning?
1. Computer center will be used
for students who complete the
design early.
Individualized Instruction
How will the lesson need to be adapted for students
with special needs (i.e., special education, talented
and gifted, ESOL/language minority)? In what ways
will you vary the modalities of learning to ensure that
ALL students have an opportunity to learn?
Cooperative GroupWhat cooperative structures
will facilitate learning? How will students be
involved in-group processing? How will students
work with one another during the unit?
1. The students will be allowed
to work in cooperative
groups during all class work
activity.
2. They will do all lab work ingroup settings.
Material Resources
what materials will need to be prepared before
the lesson in order to ensure the lesson goes
smoothly?
Writing Opportunities
How will students have an opportunity to further
extend their thinking through writing?
1. Students will have
opportunities to write and
to share what they have
written by doing the warm
up activity.
2. The students will have the
opportunity to write while
taking the written
assessment.
3. The student will have
opportunity to write while
doing the homework
assignments.
Other Planning Considerations
What else should be considered when planning and
delivering this lesson? What reminders should you
record for yourself? What are the time constraints
and considerations for this lesson?

1. The graphics on the index
cards and the hands-on will
help students develop an
understanding of key
processes.
1. I will arrange seating to pair
regular education students with
ESOL students to assist with
language.
2. I will challenge the students with
questions for higher or lower order
thinking skills.
