Central Idea:
Energy may be converted, transformed and used to support human progress.
Lines of inquiry:
• Different forms of energy sources (renewable and non-renewable)
• How energy is used (transformation)
• Sustainable energy practices
Key concepts: form, causation, responsibility
Learning outcomes:
1. Different forms of energy sources
2. How energy is used
3. Sustainable energy practices
How to start the inquiry
The students were given a pop up quiz to collect data about their prior knowledge in groups. Then they continued to watch video about energy. Talking about energy is something that they do, feel and see. To find information about energy used at school and why is important, the students observed energy sources and transformation around the school. Then, they created a sketch noting of their findings. How did they seek for information? The students continued they research by visiting 2 different places which are Museum Listrik dan Energi Terbarukan and Biogas, Ciomas. They visited these places to see and demonstrate how energy is stored and transformed from one to another. After the students were able to analyze and identify different forms of energy, they learned about renewable and non renewable energy. They sorted their information and analyzed that there are non renewable energy that they have to sustain and conserve How did students present their understanding through assessment and project for Math Fair? After the students were able to analyze and identify different forms of energy, they learned about renewable and non renewable energy. They sorted their information and analyzed that there are non renewable energy that they have to sustain and conserve. Then they continued ongoing process of MATH fair project/ planning: work together in a group to do experiments, model, diorama, etc. They work on their process product knowledge of student understanding example: how does the windmill works? What is the sources energy? What is the advantage and disadvantage of sources energy? How does energy transferred and converted? What is our responsibility in energy consumption? |
