5th Grade
One 50-minute class period
Students will complete a parallel circuit lab
 5.6 Force, motion, and energy. The student knows that
energy occurs in many forms and can be observed in cycles,
patterns, and systems. The student is expected to:

Assessment
Students will complete an online Quizizz. This website is a game similar to Kahoot! The
exception is students work at their own pace, but the leaderboard is still visible. The
teacher will assign this Quiz and the students’ scores will be saved and used for data
purposes.

Classroom Management Plan for the Lesson
Teacher will set expectations at the beginning of the lab, letting the students know not to
touch the items on their desk until they are told to do so. The teacher will set voice level
expectations, as well as technology expectations.
