Circuits Lab

Explore Independently (pink)
Strengths: student-directed, representation in drawings, independent thinking,
Weaknesses: students may not know where to start, very challenging for struggling students.

Explore Together
Strengths: for struggling students this would make sense because
Weaknesses: Not much inquiry with this- students are told specifically what to do. Don't have much freedom to explore

Content Standard: B, Physical Science
Benchmark: Electricity in circuits can produce light, heat, sound and magnetic effects. Electrical circuits require a complete loop through which an electrical current can pass.

Learning Goals: How to light a bulb with a wire and battery. Understand that electricty works with a curcuit.

Learning Performance: Having students light a bulb with a wire and battery and be able to explain WHY it worked.
