Comment on this resource
This Classroom Connectors lesson plan teaches young students about the energy that exists in our environment and how it is used. Through this lesson students learn to describe activities that require energy, match activities with their energy source, and apply this to means of transportation. The site provides goals, objectives, an outline, time required, materials, activities, and closure ideas for the lesson. The Classroom Connectors address content with an activity approach while incorporating themes necessary to raise the activity to a higher cognition level. The major motivation is to employ instructional strategies that bring the students physically and mentally into touch with the science they are studying.
