 Good morning my friends welcome back to another vlog if you guys are new here My name is Charlotte and I am a fourth grade science teacher in Arizona and today. We're talking about energy So this week we are starting our energy unit and it is actually Thursday. So I'm starting a new unit in the middle of the week. I Don't really care. I don't usually do that But I have got to keep moving because I have five weeks left Starting Monday and I have to push through so this these next two days today and tomorrow We're gonna be studying at the different types of energy And I did find a really cool resource that I've absolutely been loving this year and it's from teachers pay teachers And it's called science doodles and I believe that you can find them at my science doodles calm I will put the link to the tbt store down in the description, but I'm absolutely loving her little pack So essentially what it is is like doodle notes and it comes with like some labs It comes with task cards. It comes with vocabulary pages It comes with foldables and I'm just loving it for all of my like pre-teaching Stuff so if you guys are science teachers, you probably know that you have to really focus on vocabulary and basically new information and a phenomena so What I like to do with my teaching is I like to do a few days of introduction so I do vocab I teach the phenomena or I teach, you know The scientific stuff. I don't know how you would word that. I'm not like a super mega scientist yet That's the goal This is my first year teaching science like by itself usually like in the past I've had like 20 minutes every two days to teach science. So it's never been done, right? Now I get to do it right. And so I'm learning new things and it's all very exciting It's also a lot of work. So anyway, I'm on a tangent so I like to teach vocabulary first for the first few days and Teach how everything happens the phenomena investigation stuff like that So what I found with this resource is a really cool. So she has a weekly warm-up For all of her units. This unit is just energy. So the kids would do two questions a day I'm gonna have my kids do all of this tomorrow as like a little mini quiz and then they also come with Vocabulary pages and these are cool because they come with different Variations of the page. She has one that has only the vocabulary word and a picture done And then the definition is blank She has one like the one I'm holding that has the definition But the vocabulary word and the picture part is blank She has one that has just the vocabulary word in the definition and the pictures blank So it comes with a lot of different variations I personally like to give them the one with the definition They write the word and they draw the picture and then I also have them highlight key words in the definition. So Like the word energy the what is needed to do work or cause change So I would have them highlight the word work or change And then what we're also going to do is today We will do a foldable that looks like this and it's just a really nice easy way for them to remember the different types of energy so a Mechanical energy electrical energy light thermal and sound energy are the ones we're gonna focus on and that's the keyword melts And then on the inside they open it up and they glue down all these little examples of The different types of energy and I love these because they're like hand drawn So I could totally get away with pretending they're mine I'm just kidding the kids know I can't draw to save my life and then the pack also comes with task cards everything's hand drawn which I kind of like I like that vibe and So what I plan to do is just post the task cards around the room and have the kids do rotations and then Monday we're gonna start on electrical circuits and how Energy is transferred through electrical circuits and electrical currents. So same thing. I Always print the one with everything on it for my notebook So for reference and then this one's cool. It's like a super cool foldable They unfold it and it has all the information we fill this out together So all of this on theirs is blank except for like the boxes and some of the drawings and then they draw and Then they'll do some observing of circuits And then I asked I have circuit kits. So I actually need to go shopping. I probably should go now Down in the science room. I could show you guys what that looks like And I'm gonna find some more circuit kits because I do have a couple of complete ones But I don't have enough for every team What I'd like to do is have one for every two people But if I can't I can at least get one for every pod. So I only need five circuit kits Which means I only need four So that's what I'm gonna go do this morning and then I come back drink my coffee and get the day started. Hi, teeny Good morning I usually take her out in the morning and she hangs out with me runs in her ball Hangs out on my desk and then as kids come in if I notice that they're being quiet I will pass her from table group to table group so that they can have fun with teeny So anyway, I'm gonna go and find those circuit kits and I will see you guys in a second This place is fun. Oh, yes, here we go Okay, this must be them right here. So I know I'm gonna need These for sure Wires This this is what I'm looking for right here. These I'm gonna do a little shopping And then I will catch up with you guys Let's show you what I got. Okay, so this is what I went and got I think I might have to do another trip We'll see I'm gonna have to Divide everything up and see what I have but I got a bunch of these. These are the connectors It's where the wires get put and then batteries and then a bunch of wires and these come with all that stuff I'm gonna have to look through this and see what I got but plenty of goods Hey everyone, welcome back. So it is now 1115 the kids are out at lunch And I'm just gonna go through all of this supplies that I pulled from the science room I'm just kind of go through it. See what I have. I did find six of these which I think and I know I'm gonna need a few more I think I'm gonna need at least Let's see I have enough for each table to have one and I think I personally might have a couple more of those But I know that each team is gonna need like at least three of them. So we're gonna see I also have a bunch of these So I'm gonna just kind of go through these and see what I have and kind of make piles And then that way I can organize and count and distribute How much we need and kind of see if it's gonna be like an every pod gets one or every team gets one I would love for every student to get one, but I just don't think I have enough I have 20 students in each class. So if I could muster up 20 circuit kits, then that would be great But if not, they can at least do it in pairs. Oh Yeah, we should have enough circuit kits for every at least two people to make one so We found some of these little Clippy clips here And then a bunch of these so this should be perfect There's also like a ton of extra wire in here and the super cool Multimeter Awesome, I don't think we're gonna use this at all We're probably just gonna use these and make series circuits and parallel circuits if you guys teach fourth grade science You know exactly what I'm talking about. So again, I'm just gonna try to kind of separate these into Kits and see how many I have okay guys So this is what the notebook ends up looking like at the end So on the left here, we have a weekly warm-up. So the kids will do a question every day this week, though We're gonna do all of this Friday. So kind of like a review But next week the kids will definitely do one section per day and then over here We just wrote obviously the definition of energy and then the five that we're focusing on just this year So obviously in a quick little explanation moving parts electrons moving through a circuit Light rays transfer of heat and then air vibrations out here and on the inside They chopped up all of their little items and glued them into where It made the most sense. What type of energy is being used? Some of them obviously work in different can go in multiple but we had a discussion of Which goes in which and then they also filled in these ones So I gave them the definition. They filled in the vocab word and then they drew a picture to represent the word so That is what we did today and Then the kit that I bought also comes with this really cool energy charades game So what I'm gonna do tomorrow is hand out a few of these cards per pod and they're gonna play charades So they have to act out The item on top and then their teammates have to guess what the top is and what type of energy it's using so that one's kind of fun and then Tomorrow we will also do these energy task cards. So I will just place these around the room I need to tape them Probably today before I leave and then they'll do these task cards And then we're gonna watch the generation genius video on energy transfer so they can see that and that will be our day tomorrow So charades Task cards and the energy video from generation genius, which we will watch first that way. There's time for this So that is our day for tomorrow. I am like mega exhausted I feel like I'm going a thousand miles an hour But what I'm gonna do right now is so the pack that I purchased which I will have linked down below came with a Circuits lab, which I love so it comes with this lab and it has the directions Things to complete creating circuits drawing them so once they create it they have to draw the circuit and then Answer the questions at the bottom. So I do have all of this stuff ready to make Kits for the kids. So I think what I'm gonna do is put everything in a ziploc bag and I'm gonna focus on doing one for each pair First and if I have enough then I'll split it up into 20 separate kits But I think I'm gonna stick to two just so that they have more batteries. They have more lights They just have all around more materials to have fun and explore with so That has been my day Portina she so the kids can purchase time with temple Tina for 10 Minutes and it's like 20 dodo points and then so it's the last 20 30 minutes of the day. There's three separate grouping so they get 10 minutes each and third three different 10 minute sessions I guess and they get to hold Tina and they sit in these chairs and She just kind of walks back and forth My baby so she just caught I feel bad because she's usually sleeping and I always feel bad because I have to kind of like Wake her up and pull her out And it makes me sad to do that, huh, baby? I love you I love you too. How you going? You can come home tomorrow Tina does come home with me on Friday. Oh, hi You just want food, huh? We haven't had much time together today. I've been so busy So what I'm gonna do now is I'm gonna tape with those task cards around the room And then I do have a quick to-do list of things I need to run to the office Which I'm gonna try to do actually should probably do that first because they leave Long before I do so I think I'm gonna do that. I'm gonna run some stuff to the office I have to do a stuco meeting minutes for a PO that I need and then I'm gonna have The office lady laminate these for me for next week. These are the circuit task cards for next week and Then I will come back and anytime that I have left I will tape those task cards around and Then that is the end of my teaching day. So Scott's off tonight. We have t-ball practice I'm gonna go to the gym and then I will see you guys in the next vlog So thank you so so much for watching and for joining today If you guys are not already it make sure you're following me on Instagram.
