Week 9: 6th Grade Science

Week: 9

Topic:  Electricity:  Electric Current

Objectives: 

Explain how an electric current is produced.
Explain how conductors are different from insulators.  
Describe what causes electric charges to flow in a circuit.  
Explain how resistance affects current.

Essential Question:

What does it mean when someone says, “I took the path of least resistance?”

This week the kids will explore the components of an electric current.  Our “Ice Breaker”  was watching Lucy working in the chocolate factory and identify the components of an electric current.

Key Terms:

electric current
electric circuit
conductor & insulator
voltage and voltage source
resistance

Differentiation:

Observing
Predicting
Inferring
Classifying
Skits

Upcoming:


Next week we will begin creating circuits and look at Ohm’s Law and the relationship of resistance, voltage and current in a circuit.
