Lesson overview Today we will be: • Activating prior knowledge by using the word Force in a sentence, and listening to others. • Listening and watching New information about the guidelines to mind mapping. • Apply new information to achieve success criteria and learning goal, by creating your own mind map of your starting knowledge of energy and learning about force and motion. • You will also participate in a class quiz at the end if theres time. Review Expectations: • In Todays lesson it will be important for you to pay attention. Whole class instruction

  3. Activate Prior Knowledge • Think of the word Force and record it in a sentence under the heading Activate prior knowledge (energy sentence). • Read out your sentence or share with a partner and volunteer sentences. Independent/ Collaborative and Whole Group Focus

  4. New Information • Listen to new information about mind-mapping. • Check out some mind-map examples. Whole Group Focus

  5. The Mind Map is a powerful learning tool! • Invented by Tony Buzan • he studied the brain and how we learn • A mind map mirrors how the brain stores and retrieves memories, makes connections and see’s relationships. • What is a mind map? • Has a central starting image • Uses curved lines (thick-thin like the branches in a tree) • Pictures with few words • Is colourful • All because your brain remembers things best using pictures and colour! • Research shows a person who created and reviewed a mind map has the potential to remember 98% of the information contains, 1 day, week and even 1 month afterwards! • Turn and talk to the person next to you about why you think a mind map can be a powerful learning tool. Whole group focus/ Collaborative focus

  6. 7 Rules of Mind Mapping • Start in the center of a landscaped page, • Use an image or picture for your central idea • Use colours throughout • Connect your main (thickest) branches to the central image, then connect 2nd level (thinner) and even 3rd level (even thinner) branches • Make branches curve and flow and horizontal • Use one word per line, same length as line • Use images throughout. Whole Group Focus

  7. Apply New Information • Create your mind map • Remember the mind mapping laws! • You have 20 minutes of class time to map your starting knowledge. If you are not finished it is homework. Independentwork

  8. New Information/ Apply information • Pay close attention to the presentation on force and motion. • Under the heading Force definition, record your own definition of what a force can do. • Fill in the answers to the work sheet at the end of the lesson. Share answers. Whole Group Focus

  9. Apply New Information • Class Quiz! Independent/Whole group work focus

  10. Goal Review • What did you learn about Forces today? • Success Criteria: • I’ve demonstrated my starting knowledge in a mind-map. • I’ve completed my forces worksheet to describe and identify changes in motion caused by forces
