Kaylee Rasbury Dr. Taylor ELED 4314 3-23-2020 NSTA Journal Article Reviews Article 2: Got Energy? 1. Why did you choose to put this article in your collection? - This article did a great job guiding you through the topic, and ways to teach this topic. It provided charts and graphs. It gave a plan for a lesson and how to engage the students. 2. What new information did you learn? - I learned that energy is a great topic for children to study. They can get really involved in discovering what energy is in their daily life, and they can actually enjoy this discovery. 3. What TEKS would it go with and how could you use this information in your classroom? 3.3 Scientific investigation and reasoning. The student knows that information, critical thinking, scientific problem solving, and the contributions of scientists are used in making decisions. The student is expected to: (A) analyze, evaluate, and critique scientific explanations by using evidence, logical reasoning, and experimental and observational testing; (B) represent the natural world using models such as volcanoes or the Sun, Earth, and Moon system and identify their limitations, including size, properties, and materials 3.5 Matter and energy. The student knows that matter has measurable physical properties and those properties determine how matter is classified, changed, and used. The student is expected to: (C) predict, observe, and record changes in the state of matter caused by heating or cooling such as ice becoming liquid water, condensation forming on the outside of a glass of ice water, or liquid water is heated to the point of becoming water vapor 4. Based on your experience, is there anything in the article that you agree with? Disagree with? Have questions about it? - I liked this article a lot. It was very well written, and it provided great visuals. I feel like I could create a great lesson out of this article and be able to present my students with some really great things to learn. It provided many higher-level thinking questions and ways to guide children into their own learning.

The article breaks down a PBL for 4th grade that can be adapted to other grades. The articles does a great job in allowing students to explore independently the need for a state to be more energy independent. Using PBL allow the students to be scientists and figure out ways to solve the problem. To guided the students to be begin Thinking outside the box, graphic organizers like the one they use and utilizing cooperative learning helps guide them to experiments .The trail run organizer at the end is a great tool students can use to test their theories and see if their solutions might solve or not solve the problem. “Students learned about potential and kinetic energy, how energy is measured, how energy is changed but not created or destroyed, and many examples of energy being transformed”. The idea of creating a real life scenario for students to see the relevance and importance Energy can play in out lives, is one I can definitely see myself using in any grade level. You are never to young to explore solutions to problems.
