Week: 4 Lesson Plan: Conduction & Convection Theory

Outcomes Sequenced Teaching and Learning Activities Instructional approaches (incl. coop) Assessment Strategies
ST2-1WS-S Lesson Objective – develop knowledge of conduction and convection
theories, and applying that knowledge to everyday life.
ST2-8PW-ST  At beginning of lesson, teacher to recap with students the previous Teacher directed reflection Diagnostic Assessment
lessons about heat using a KWL chart. Use the IWSB for displaying and KWL Chart Discussions of prior
EN2-2A easy save/access purposes. This KWL will be used later in lesson. (3 min) Class discussion and sharing of ideas knowledge
 Teacher to enter student responses. After students have all contributed
EN2-9B to the chart, teacher to briefly introduce the next concepts for the
following lessons; Convection and Conduction. Remind students that in
videos they will see the concept Radiation is mentioned. This is
something they will learn about next year. (5 min)
 Teacher to discuss with students the layout of the next three lessons of ENGAGE STUDENTS
learning, experiments and demonstration of knowledge and what the Discussion of expectations
students can expect and the teacher’s expectations for the following
lessons (3 min)
 Revisit KWL, discuss with students what they already know or think they Class Discussion
know. Enter these responses. (3 min)
 Watch Conduction, Convection & Radiation video with whole class. Student questioning and reflection

and answer questions students might have. At end of question time pose Teacher questioning
questions to students for them to think about during the re-watch, e.g.
o How could you use these types of energy in life? Whole class reflection and sharing of ideas
o Where have you seen them in your life? (10 min) Student discussion and sharing of ideas
Discussion of newly
 During the re-watch to video to discuss important segments. (8 min)
acquired knowledge
 At end of video re ask questions. Complete KWL. (5 min)
 Next exercise is role play activity. Students are to stand in open space of
Movement activity Application of
room, moving about depicting the type of energy. Students will need to
knowledge
discuss this with fellow students - dense for convection, together for
conduction. (5 min)
 Students are then to write in their science journals about the differences
Student independent reflection of Using student
between convection and conduction and any examples they can think of
knowledge and understanding reflections for future
their everyday lives of this type of energy. Students are also to draw the
planning
molecules and their movement represented in each type of energy (10
min)
 As an assessment strategy of student knowledge and understanding ask
Application of knowledge to real-world
students to apply and describe what type of heat is being used in the
contexts. Student responses
pictures displayed on IWB. (4 min)
 As a class create a digital word wall for key terms that students feel will
be important (appendix 2) (5 min)
