* The 5E Lesson Plan Format can be
implemented in other curriculum
* 5E Lesson Plans can take one class
period or several class periods
* 5E Lesson Plans need to have clearly
identified objectives

5. *
Objective – a statement that describes what students will
be expected to learn by the end of a class period.
SWBAT…IOT…
Students will be able to… in order to…
Example: SWBAT compare selective breeding and natural
selection IOT explain how both processes lead to variations
within organisms.

12. *
Unit: Energy, Electricity, & Magnetism
Topic: Kinetic and Potential Energy
Objective: Students will be able to identify examples
of kinetic and potential energy in order to
differentiate between kinetic and potential energy.
Level: 6th Grade (Ages 11 – 12)
Duration: 45 minutes (1 class period)

13. * E
* Ask: Does anyone know what a pendulum is?
* Select a “brave” student to stand in front of the
pendulum. Have class observe the pendulum
demonstration.
* Ask: Why did the pendulum did not hit the student
in the face?

Before Reading: Preview the reading for any new
vocabulary.
During Reading: As we read highlight any important
information.
After Reading: Review what the class thought was
important information from the reading.

15. There are two basic types of energy, kinetic and potential. The
word kinetic comes from the Greek word kinetos which means
"moving.” Therefore, kinetic energy (K.E.) is simply described as
energy of motion. If an object is moving, it has kinetic energy. Two
factors that affect the amount of kinetic energy an object has are mass
and velocity (speed). The other basic type of energy is potential energy
(P.E.). Potential energy is the opposite of kinetic energy. If kinetic
energy is energy of motion, potential energy is energy that exists even
when an object is at rest. It can be simply described as stored energy
or energy that has the potential to do work. Potential energy can be
the result of an object's position, shape, or chemical make-up. Kinetic
energy is the result of potential energy being converted to action. A
specific type of potential energy that describes energy of position is
known as gravitational potential energy (G.P.E.). Potential energy can
be stored in any object just because it occupies a higher position. The
higher an object is the more G.P.E it has. The kinetic energy resulting
from the conversion of gravitational potential energy to an object's
movement is readily visible. Furthermore, a simple relationship exists.
A falling object has its greatest amount of kinetic energy when it is
traveling its fastest.

23. * E
Students will be creating a three-part foldable to help
them understand the differences and similarities
between potential and kinetic energy. Their foldable
must include: similarities, a description of each form
of energy, and examples.

24. * E
1. Students will be shown various pictures via
PowerPoint that demonstrate kinetic and potential
energy. As a class they will identify which picture
demonstrates each type of energy.
2. The other extension will be tonight’s homework
Energy Basics WS which requires the students to
identify different parts of an amusement park as
either containing potential or kinetic energy.

25. * E
1. Summarize the lesson with the students. Ask: What
did they learn? What is the difference between
potential and kinetic energy?
2. Students will be completing the Day 1 Exit Ticket -
Energy: Kinetic or Potential. I will review the first
question with them and how to answer it. Students will
have five minutes to complete the exit ticket; after
that I will collect it from them.
