What is electricity?
Create a mind map
- Duration:
- 2 lessons
- Grouping:
- Individual
Sometimes it is not easy to understand what we can not see. Along this task we are going to try to make our learning visible. For that purpose we will create a mind map in which we have to represent and include:
- The definition of electricity
- What are electrons?
- What are protons?
- How electricity works?
- Different kinds of electricity
To investigate about the topic we can have a look to the following links, they will be very useful for us:
- Britannica Kids: Electricity
- Ducksters - Kids Science: Electricity
- Youtube - Learning Junction: Intoduction to Electricity - video for kids.
Maybe we don't have enough ideas or resources to work with visual thinking. Here we have a great article about what Visual Thinking is and how to work on it.
The best way of working with Visual Thinking is our pencil, our rubber, our colours and a piece of paper. But in case we want to work with any web tool we can use:
Our work will be assessed by the rubric to assess Visual thinking Mind maps (download in editable odt format, download in pdf).
Thinking about my learning
It is time to reflect about our learning today. We must remind that everyday at the end of each lesson we will write on our Learning Diary asking the following questions:
- Date
- What have I done?
- What problems did I have? How did I solve these problems?
- What have I learn?
- How can I improve my learning for the next lesson?
- Do I want to learn a bit more about something?
Our teacher will check it and give us some feedback to help our improvements.
