Name of Project: Earth and Space Systems 6.2

Subject/Course/Grade Level: Science/Earth Science/6th

Unit Duration & Timeline: 1 week

Teacher Team Members:

Goals & Objectives Necessary to Accomplish the Goals: We need to work together, listen, and collaborate on the final project.

Standards of learning (Virginia) (Collaboration, Communication, Critical Thinking, Creativity):

SOL-6.2

Project Summary: Include goal, purpose, and benefit of project. What will the role of the student be? Any challenges or issues anticipated?

6.2: student will investigate and understand basic sources of energy, their origins, transformations, and uses. Students will learn different means of energy that our world runs on. Some issues might be deciphering the differences between nonrenewable and renewable energy sources.

Driving Question: 6.2: If you could choose what type of energy would you want humans to rely on, and will we run out of energy sources in the future?

Entry Event: Use inquiry questions that focus on the problem and extend beyond fact-finding to engage students.

What source of energy do we use the most and why?

Why is certain types of energy good or bad for the environment?

Product: the role of the sun in the formation of most energy sources on Earth and renewable and non-renewable energy sources.

Individual: Vocabulary homework, and take home open book test. All graded

Team: Project and debate

Public Audience: Experts, product users, or clients that students will engage with during and at the end of project.

Resources Needed

On-site Collaborators: Have someone from the coal industry come in and speak because Virginia has a huge coal industry. Research in library. Research on laptops.

Equipment: personal lap tops

Supplies: Markers, poster board, scissors, glue, magazines, print pictures with class room pcs

Community Resources: Look into ways Virginia is using energy that is good for the environment. How would shutting the coal industry effect Virginia’s economy?

Reflection Methods (individual, team, and/or whole class)

Debate renewable and nonrenewable energy sources.

Have discussions on what would happen if we run out of oil, and what our future may look like if we don’t find different energy sources.

Final Product (presentation, performance, model, product, service, book, etc.)

Group project presentation on Virginia’s renewable and nonrenewable energy. Each group pick one of each, describe, and give pros and cons of each. Make an advertisement for the one you choose to be the best for the future.

Assessment Strategies: When presenting the projects each student in the group is going to grade themselves and their partners in the group. In Virginia we have standards of learning, and that is what I used for this assignment. I used the standards for the 6th grade science. I will assess each student through their participation, final project, and homework.
