PO 1. Identify evidence that the Sun is the natural source of heat and light on the
Earth
Common Core Standards:
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.1.2
Write informative/explanatory texts in which they name a topic, supply some facts
about the topic, and provide some sense of closure.
Objective (Explicit & Measurable):
Students will learn about the characteristics of the sun, and build a small oven to
learn how the energy from the sun can be used as heat.
Evidence of Mastery (Measurable Assessment: formative and summative):
Observation of students interaction with the virtual solar cooker as a preinstructional tool.
Describe how passive solar energy can be used in our everyday lives and
homes.
Construct a solar cooker that fully cooks a Smore
Lesson Summary and Justification: (summary gives detailed information about what
students are doing. Justification why is this lesson being taught)
Two to three (2-3) 50-minute class periods are required for this lesson. The lesson
allows for students to explore benefits of solar energy by relating it to tasks we use in
our everyday lives. In this lab the solar cookers act as solar collectors, which trap
sunlight and convert it to heat.
Background Knowledge: (What do students need to know to complete this lesson)
Since students are only in first grade, students should only be able to understand
surface level ideas. One major idea students need to know in order to complete this
lesson is that the Sun heats things up.
Process Skills: (what skills are you introducing or reinforcing: ex: observation
reinforcing; prediction - introducing.)
Prediction on what is going to happen as sunlight hits the pizza box. Observation as to
what is happening over time to the marshmallow and chocolate.
Safety: (what safety rules and items need to be addressed?)
Have students wear sunglasses if it is really sunny outside so their eyes dont get
damaged. Adult supervision recommended.
