Transcript Rock and Roll Presentaion

Presentation by Doug Hansen & Carmelina Coleman
Driving Questions
• Does the North Pole really mean the north
pulls?
• Why do farmers have cows eat magnets?
• How do magnets work?
Basic Objectives/Outcomes
• Students will learn if the North Pole really means the
north pulls.
• Students will learn the purpose of a cow magnet.
• Students will learn how to determine the pull of
magnets and which end is really north or south.
• Students will use magnets they are given to
experiment and explain how magnets work
Fulfills National Science Education Standard B:
• Motions and forces
• Light, heat, electricity, and magnetism
Vocabulary to Learn
• Magnetorheological (MR) materials are fluids that solidify into a
pasty consistency in the presence of a magnetic field and then
re-liquefy when that force is removed.
• Magnetism– The study of magnets and their effects.
• Magnetic Field -any region where another magnet would “feel”
a force.
• Magnetic Dipole- a pair of electric charges or magnetic poles of
equal magnitude but opposite polarity (opposite electronic
charges), separated by some, usually small, distance.
• Electric Charge- a fundamental conserved property of matter.
Matter that possesses a charge is influenced by, and produces,
electromagnetic fields.
How is this vocabulary learned?
• Students will learn this vocabulary through
the hands on experiments with magnets
• Students will also learn them by learning
how magnets are used in real life context,
for example, the cow magnet.
Why Learn This Vocabulary
• This vocabulary explains why magnets do
what they do, so students understand
what is happening as they experiment.
The Store
Things Available for Purchase
Other Programs Available
• Bones, Fossils, and Dinosaurs (classification of
rocks, igneous rocks, sedimentary rocks,
metamorphic rocks, identification skills)
• Marbles
• Let’s Ponder – Treasure Bag of Thought
Provoking Information
• Icy Ice Experiments – Burr to the depth of the
read cold!
• Shake, Rattle, and Roll – Seismic waves
• Glaciers – What in the life of Wisconsin!
• Fossil Mania
• Wrap it up – jewelry making
Cost/Chaperones/Transportation
• $200 Dollars for 40 students
• No chaperones needed, however extra
help in the classroom might be needed for
classroom management.
• Rock and Roll will come to schools at no
charge, no transportation needed
Permission Sheet
• No permission sheet needed, students will
not be leaving the school.
• No waiver needed.
• After the fieldtrip the students will be put into
groups and they will make a presentation using
the materials given at the fieldtrip to present a
mini-lesson to the class on how magnets work.
• This is important for students because it will
reinforce what they learned and it will help to put
it into their permanent memory. The strongest
form of learning is when you are teaching.
• We would assess the students based on their
knowledge of the terms that were covered
during the fieldtrip. They will have to present
them to the class in their group projects so we
will be able to see their general understanding of
the concepts.
Literature/Websites
"Electricity and Magnetism." By Peter Adamczyk
and Paul-Francis Law.
"What Makes a Magnet?" By Franklyn M.
Branley, illustrated by True Kelley.
"Marta's Magnets." By Wendy Pfeffer, illustrated
by Gail Piazza.
"Electricity and Magnetism." By Robert Snedden.
Cross-Curricular Connections
• For other programs, ex. Fossils program.
This can be connected to art because the
student will be able to create their own
fossils.
• Shake, rattle and roll can be connected to
art and math also because the students
must construct their own stolid structure.
Misconceptions
1. All metals are attracted to a magnet.
2. All silver colored items are attracted to a
magnet.
3. All magnets are made of iron.
4. Larger magnets are stronger than smaller
magnets.
5. The magnetic and geographic poles of the
earth are located at the same place.
6. The magnetic pole of the earth in the northern
hemisphere is a north pole, and the pole in the
southern hemisphere is a south pole.
