I need help making a rubric off of my lesson plan. Can anybody help.

Outcome: Upon completion of this unit, students will be able to understand electrical quantities/properties with the various units of measurement used in electrical circuits (e.g. volts, amps, watts, ohms) and how the relationship between them help figure out faulty electrical components in a vehicle (Standards for Technological Literacy 10).

Behavioral Objectives: Upon completion of this unit, students will be able to:

1. Define voltage, amperage, and resistance given symbols and definitions of each function with no more than one error.

2. Calculate voltage, amperage, and resistance given two known values to figure out the remaining values with no more than one error.

3. Identify the components of a complete circuit (e.g. consumer, source, conductor path) given a complete circuit with no more than one error.

4. Measure voltage, amperage, and resistance in a circuit given a wire diagram, voltage meter, test light with no errors.


Directions:

Design five consecutive lessons or one week of instruction using the modified 5E Learning Cycle.

  • Lesson 1: Engage the students and introduce them to the topics to be studied.

  • Lesson 2: Explain the concepts and skills related to the topic.

  • Lesson 3: Explore the topic using an inquiry (lab), design, or problem-solving activity.

  • Lesson 4: Elaborate on the topic by analyzing, reporting, and discussing the previous activity.

  • Lesson 5: Evaluate student learning using a performance rubric and written quiz.

For each lesson, include the following lesson components in the table provided.

  • Record the number of each behavioral objective(s) addressed in the lesson.

  • Write 2-3 sentences to describe the anticipatory set used to generate interest, announce the topic, and assess prior knowledge at the beginning of the lesson.

  • Write 2-3 sentences to describe the instruction used to teach key concept or skills in the lesson.

  • Write 2-3 sentences to describe the activity used to engage students, apply concepts or skills, and guide learning.

  • Write 2-3 sentences to describe the closure used to summarize key concepts or skills and preview the next lesson.

Assessment:

There are multiple small assessments through out the lessons as the student must know the material before doing the activities in lab. However, the fifth day there will be a short quiz on the lessons. The quiz will be a mix of multiple choice, fill in the blank, and a few short answers, as the lab on lesson 4 will also count for the hands-on quiz for the unit.

Anticipatory

Set

Start by flickering classrooms lights and ask a few questions. How many devices in your home use electricity? Have you ever wondered how electricity works?

Play ohm’s law song by Sara Bryan to get the students wondering about the topic but also a catchy way to remember ohm’s law. Then ask the students if they ever heard of amps, volts, or ohms?

Students will go through the homework as a class using small whiteboards and expo markers as they can show their work and the teacher can see how they got their answers. Then end it with a much harder problem to see where the students are at with ohm’s law

Students will participate in a quick review game that covers the main ideas of electricity (Volts, ohms, amps, consumer, source, conductor path). Then pass out a review sheet that will help students on the test

Instruction

Discuss the different types of components that make a circuit work (consumer, source, conductor path). Explain why you need all three components and what happens if you don’t have one.

Define amps, ohms, volts and explain their relationship with one another by showing them ohm’s law triangle. Then show how you can use two known variables to get the last by using ohm’s law.

Show simple wiring diagrams with symbols often used in the automotive field. Teacher will already have a circuit created that none of the students have made and off that they will draw that circuit on the white board, so the students can see how to create a wiring diagram.

No new material just asks the students if they have any questions if they do answer any major questions. If no questions, go over main ideas like work out ohm’s law math problems on the board as review.

Activity

Students will design their own basic electric circuit given a circuit board. At the end of the hands-on activity students will understand the importance of each component that makes up a circuit.

Students will use their circuits they made the day before and a multimeter to measure amps, volts, ohms. Once they are done measuring they will get a short worksheet with simple ohm’s law math problems.

Students will get a piece of paper and they will have to draw their circuit using the correct symbols. They will also get a short worksheet again on ohm’s law as a review.

Students will group up into pairs and they will work on a circuit that has a faulty component in it that was made by the teacher the night before. Students will have to use their knowledge that they learned in the days before to figure out what is wrong. After they figure out the problem they must fix the fault, so the circuit works properly.

Closure

Ask students to explain what components are needed in a circuit after their activity. Then announce that the next lesson will be about how to measure electricity (amps, ohms, volts).

Ask if the students have any questions on amps, volts, or ohms and tell them if they didn’t finish worksheet with math they can do it for homework. Then announce that the next lesson will show how to make and read a wiring diagram.

Ask students if they have any questions on ohm’s law, electricity components, or wiring diagrams. Then state that they will combine all three lessons into finding out a fault in a circuit as well as reviewing for the test.

Gather class back into a big group and have the groups share what the fault was in the circuit and how they figured the fault out. Then after asking if there are any questions on the material covered in the previous days. Then reiterate that they will have a quiz tomorrow.
