Application of Bloom’s Taxonomy

TOPIC Energy

LEARNING OBJECTIVE Understand the difference between potential and kinetic energy.

LEARNING OUTCOME Apply knowledge of potential and kinetic energy to a real-world situation.

VALUES

Lesson PlanKnowledge

1. A quick Question/Answer Session to recall students’ previous knowledge.For instance: What is energy? What kinds of energy have you use today?

2. Lecture on Potential and Kinetic Energy

Understanding

Use the table of energy conversions to tell which form is converted into which. In an electric fan?In an elevator winch? In a light emitting diode?In a car battery?

Lesson Plan

Lesson PlanApplication

Divide students into pairs. Direct students to the following Web site: http://www.learner.org/exhibits/parkphysics/coaster/. & follow the prompts to design a safe andexciting roller coaster ride. Ask them to make decisions about the following: The height of the first hillThe shape of the first hillThe exit pathThe height of the second hillThe loop

http://www.discoveryeducation.com/teachers/free-lesson-plans/elements-of-physics-energy-and-work.cfm

Analysis:

Students will analysewhy their design have succeeded or failed?

Evaluation:

Students will find out about each step in their coaster design in their safety inspection.

Acknowledgement

I would like to extend my gratitude to

Intel Trainers and The City school management for providing me the

opportunity to enhance my professional skills.

CONCLUSION

By implementing 21st century teaching skills, students &

teachers will benefit equally as it will make learning Physics more

fun, easy to comprehend and interactive.
