Album Description
This album features a newspaper article from the historic African-American newspaper called "The Monitor." Based on this exciting resource, there are three styles of lesson plans specifically designed to address the scientific concepts of energy transfer: a Socratic seminar, a standard 5E lesson plan, and an engineering design challenge. Additionally, all lesson plans include a teacher guide, as well as any supplemental materials needed.
The essential questions addressed (regardless of the lesson style) include:
