Description

Get your students excited about science with this Energy of Collisions 5E Unit Plan! This inquiry-based unit will have students learning all about the changes in energy that occur when objects collide.

Students will learn that energy can be moved from place to place by moving object, that when objects collide energy can be transferred and an object's motion changes, and so much more. Watch as your students engage in hands-on activities and experiments that bring Science to life!

KEY CONCEPTS IN THIS 5E ENERGY OF COLLISIONS UNIT INCLUDE

  • Transfer of energy during collisions
  • Energy movement through a system
  • Changes in energy when components of a system change
  • Factors that affect energy and collisions
  • How energy changes forms during a collision

Included in this Energy of Collisions Science Resource

► Three parts for each of the 5E's (Engage, Explore, Explain, Extend, and Evaluate).

► Teacher Notes that provide an overview of the resource and explanation of the NGSS standard for Transfer of Energy 4-PS3-3

► Common Misconceptions about the Transfer of Energy

► Teaching Timeline available with four different options, including a correlation with the Fourth Grade Science Stations

► Vocabulary Cards to reinforce key terms throughout the unit. These are similar vocabulary cards available in the Fourth Grade Science Stations

► Big Idea Posters that illustrate the main concepts students will learn

► Exit Tickets in three formats: short answer, fill-in-the-blank, and multiple choice

OPTIONAL FREE BONUS UPGRADE TO GOOGLE DIGITAL COMPONENTS:

► Google Slides Teacher Presentation that supports the student resources

► Google Slides Student Resources for a paperless option

► Google Form Exit Cards to monitor student understanding

► Easel by TpT Activity for the Student Sheets

► Easel by TpT Assessment for the Exit Cards

What is the 5E Instructional Model?

The 5E Model is student-led, with the teacher acting mainly as the facilitator. Through open-ended questions, real-life experiences, guided investigations, and research, the students gain a deep understanding of the scientific topics that are covered in the lessons. Each stage of the model serves as a foundation to the next, creating a coherent model that frames lessons, activities, and units.

Objectives and Timeline for Each Section of the 5E Energy of Collisions Unit

ENGAGE

Objectives:

  • Students will access their prior knowledge about how energy is transferred and what happens during collisions.
  • Student interest in energy and collisions will be elicited.
  • The teacher will be able to identify student misconceptions about energy and collisions.

Parts and Duration:

  • Part 1 (What Is This?): 10 minutes
  • Part 2 (My Experiences): 15 minutes
  • Part 3 (Introducing): 15 minutes

EXPLORE

Objectives:

  • Students will work together to investigate what happens to energy during collisions.  They will do this by observing what happens when energy moves through a system.  They will also observe what happens when components of the system are changed.
  • Students will gather general information about energy and collisions.
  • Students will begin to think about the factors that affect energy and collisions.
  • Students will analyze and interpret data to provide evidence that energy is transferred during collisions, and how it is ultimately conserved, though it may change form in the process.

Parts and Duration:

  • Part 1 (Check It Out): 20 minutes
  • Part 2 (Read This): 15 minutes
  • Part 3 (You Try It): 15 minutes

EXPLAIN

Objectives:

  • Students will work collaboratively to observe the energy of collisions.
  • Students will listen to the teacher’s explanation about the energy of collisions.
  • Students will use the new information to revise their explanations about the energy of collisions.

Parts and Duration:

  • Part 1 (What Does It Mean?): 10 minutes
  • Part 2 (What Happens to Energy During Collisions?): 20 minutes
  • Part 3 (Putting It All Together): 30 minutes

EXTEND

Objectives:

  • Students will apply what they have learned about the energy of collisions to a new situation.
  • Students will deepen their understanding of the energy of collisions, gaining a more generalized knowledge of these specific scientific concepts. 
  • The teacher will resolve all persisting student misconceptions about the energy of collisions.

Parts and Duration:

  • Part 1 (Where Is the Energy in Collisions?): 15 minutes
  • Part 2 (Show What You Know): 20 minutes
  • Part 3 (Have Fun With It): 20 minutes

EVALUATE

Objectives:

  • Students will evaluate their own understanding of energy and collisions.
  • Students will be able to demonstrate knowledge of the concepts and vocabulary.
  • The teacher will encourage students to ask questions that could lead to future investigations.

Parts and Duration:

  • Part 1 (What I Know): 15 minutes
  • Part 2 (Showing Transfer of Energy): 30 minutes
  • Part 3 (Going Forward): 15 minutes

These 5E Unit Plans correlate with the Fourth Grade Science Stations.
