5th Grade Technology CoTeaching
Fifth graders analyzed and demonstrated their learning about renewable energy sources in multiple ways. They looked at digital articles, videos, and articles and analyzed how solar, wind, geothermal, biomass, and hydropower energy sources were harnessed, captured, and converted. Students synthesized their learning about energy sources within a google slides presentation that they shared with their class. After having a greater understanding of each energy source, students individually had to apply their knowledge to complete a performance task. Students were asked to make a recommendation on where to move our company within the US and they had to include which renewable energy source could be used that is native to that area. Within the two samples below, you will find the description of the performance task students completed, their individual persuasive writing responses, and then animations that depict how their chosen renewable energy source works including the machinery needed to harness, capture, and convert. (MEANING...please scroll down to the bottom of their documents! They worked very hard on both the writing and their animations!)
Slides Samples: Group #1: Wind Energy & Group #2: Biomass Energy
Performance Task: Written Response & Animation Student Sample #1 & Student Sample #2
