1 DAY1 MON 10/22 DAY2 TUES 10/23 DAY3 WED 10/24 DAY4 FRI 10/26? What is a machine? Machine PPT What are simple machines? What are the different types of simple machines? What are levers? SU: What is a machine? Give examples of machines. Share: Do a Partner Share, and then do a Pass-Off as a teacher writes the definition on the Smartboard. Come up with a class definition of machine. /CW: Students copy the def n of machine onto their classwork. Then they watch a Powerpoint, as they record their thoughts. -Do a partner share after each slide to give kids an opportunity WU: MACHINE: a device that makes doing work easier. SU: Wednesday we looked at different machines. What do you think a simple machine is? (Set up stations while they are writing) -make task card for station 1,2,3 in SU : Go over expectations of stations. -Each station has different readings about a certain kind of simple machine. Each reading looks different and appeals to different kinds of learners. When you choose a reading, think about what kind of reader you are and how much you know about the topic. just because a text is shorter does not mean its easier. Also, just because a text is long does not mean its harder. Pictures are their to help you and can make a text easier to understand. CW: students visit different stations for each simple machine. Flip flop with Jessica. *3 reading stations, and 1 station where students play explore examples of simple machines Stations: Day 2 No SU : station expectations reminders CW: students visit stations WU: Share OUR notes on what each simple machine is. Glue into notebooks and go over. WU2: Show a slide show with different pictures and have students write down which simple machine it is. SU: Identify the simple machines in a series of pictures. : Model for students how to use a spring scale. Use SmartNotebook to project spring scale and determine interval. (label A, B, C like the homework) Spring Scale: A tool to measure force. Newtons: the units used for force; named after Isaac Newton who discovered gravity. : Project a picture of a completed lever for them to build.they build the lever and explore how it works, writing their observations on a WS (or in the NB). CW: students build a lever in pairs, and they fill out their observations in their notebooks. Set #1: Pulley, Wedge, Wheel and Axle, Simple Machine Explore Set #2: Inclined Plane, Lever, Screws, Simple Machine Explore WU: Share OUR notes on what each simple machine is. Glue into notebooks and go over. -Organizer for Mods Stations! Multiple levels of text scaffolded WS for observations -- use the generic observation worksheet where they write their observations and draw a picture. SM1: Find 3 machines outside of school. Draw them and say how they are machines. Find an example of each simple machine -- draw a picture and describe it in your NB. SM2: Simple Machine Worksheet (Physical Science Bk Page 65) SM3: WS on reading spring scales -- will put it on back of SM2.

What happens if you re not able to complete the retell? : - Review the reading process: look at text features, make a prediction, make a reading plan (chunk, who will read), read a chunk, stop to do a retell, THEN take notes. - Review how to take notes with Boxes and Bullets BOX = Main Idea BULLETS = Details (It might be nice to borrow some Humanities posters for this lesson.) - Model how you would use boxes and bullets for the old pulley reading. CW: - students make a reading plan. - RESEARCH CYCLE: Read = 3 mins, Retell/Talk = 2 mins, Take notes = 3 WU: For you, what is the most challenging part of taking notes. DAY18 TUES 12/11 -- * picture day! SU: Give examples of pulleys in our real lives. : See the Start-Ups for a projection of hints. Show students the materials for building a pulley.

Mods Scaffolded WS for note-taking Use the mod observation sheet DAY19 WED 12/12 Pulley System Exploration -- like the pulley exploration but with two pulleys SU: Draw fixed/movable pulley (not sure what it was last year, but the orange parts should go as part of the GoogleDoc) : Introduce Task for Today (see SU s) WU: (10-15 minutes!): Please be sure to discuss mechanical and directional advantage after we pass out the notes. Pass out a notes sheet that has a diagram with the pulley systems and definitions for fixed pulley and moveable pulleys and the following: Mechanical advantage: reduces the effort (force) needed to lift a load; it is a result of using a simple machine. Directional advantage: a change in direction that results from passing a rope through a pulley.

How can I write a lab report?! SU: Work in partners to play the pulley game -- can you build a...? (one partner asks the other to build a pulley; that person builds it; the first person says if it s right; then they switch) -- by the end each partnership should have built each type of pully. : Read the pulley procedure silently. Read it again! Later, partner share what the lab is asking you to do. TRY TO COME UP WITH A TESTABLE QUESTION! CW: Fill out the half-sheet for the lab (testable question, responding/manipulated variable, prediction). Which pulley or pulley system do you think uses the least amount of force? The most amount of force? Why? MODEL IT! SU: How can you record your data for this lab? What might your data table look like? : Review how to do the lab. Maybe share out some predictions. Review how to fill out the data table. - Review the two advantages (Mechanical and directional) - Then Show students the data table for the lab and model how you would fill it out. - The Load is the amount of force needed to lift the load without the pulley. - The Direction of Pull is an arrow - The Scale reading is what they find - The effort is adding 0.5 N only when pulling down. **NOTE: USE 2 LOADS, STUDENTS WORK IN TABLES, MAKE 2 SPRING SCALE READINGS EACH TIME BEFORE RECORDING CW: Students complete Pulley EFfort Lab #1: How does the type of pulley affect how much effort you need to lift the load? celebration day no classes SU: Review testable question and variables : Return Lab reports. What are two things that I am proud of? What are two things I need to improve? -Give overall tips for improving reports: *Prediction with WHY *Repeating Steps in PROC. *Breaking apart steps CW: students work on part 1 of the lab report. Two Small Groups (P/M) WU: What did we learn from this part of the lab. Show students how you can predict the amount of force needed to lift the load by dividing by the number of supporting ropes. ***NOTE: Many kids are not writing reasons WHY they are making a prediction. (focus on the why - what do know that makes you think that) **Check if anyone is NOT going to be around the day before break -- give them the lab report early. Mods -Practice graph and practice data table Small group: Procedure writing w materials Checklist or graphic organizer for report MOD lab report Finish part 1 of the lab report with the top half of your cover.
