Third Grade
Digital Materials
This virtual escape room will take your students through four locks (activities) that review information about electrical circuits. Each lock on the picture will take them to an activity that they will have to solve in order to go onto the next lock. Each lock has a link to a site that will allow the student to explore information to help them solve the code for the lock.
The virtual escape room is viewed best on a screen larger than a standard cell phone.
Science Standards:
3.P.3A.2 Develop and use models to describe the path of an electric current in a complete simple circuit as it accomplishes a task (such as lighting a bulb or making a sound).
3.P.3A.3 Analyze and interpret data from observations and investigations to classify different materials as either an insulator or conductor of electricity.
We use electricity every day, but how do we generate it? Electricity is generated use different types of "fuels". These fuels can be renewable resources or nonrenewable resources. In order to meet the power needs of every home, school, and business, electric companies use a balanced mix of fuel types to ensure their power is affordable, reliable, and sustainable. As technology in the electric generation industry advances, companies are able to provide more Green Power using renewable fuel sources, such as solar, and rely less on nonrenewable fuel sources, such as coal.
Science Standards:
Standard 3.P.3: The student will demonstrate an understanding of how electricity transfers energy and how magnetism can result from electricity.
3.E.4A.3 Obtain and communicate information to exemplify how humans obtain, use, and protect renewable and nonrenewable Earth resources.
This Google Slide will allow your students to classify materials as conductors or insulators of electricity. The link will force them to make a copy in their account. This will allow them to move the words at the bottom of the page and save their work. Then they can share their completed Google Slide with you.
Science Standards:
3.P.3A.3 Analyze and interpret data from observations and investigations to classify different materials as either an insulator or conductor of electricity.
This Google Slide Presentation will help students learn more about how electricity is generated and transmitted.
