Teacher Guide Grade Level & Background . Secondary, grades 9-12 This is an integrated curriculum designed to teach students about the use of uranium as an Energy source. Informational text and multidisciplinary activities help to develop students' understanding of Nuclear Energy . Time . Approximately 10-20 2 Preparation 45-minute classes, depending.

8 Familiarize yourself with the activities and information contained within the guide. Select the on the activities selected activities that will be most appropriate for your students.. Gather any materials you will need for the activities you select. A list of materials can be found on page 5. @ Science Notebooks This curriculum is designed to be used in conjunction Activity 1: Introduction with science notebooks. Objective Experimental questions, . Students will be able to describe how Nuclear Energy is generated. procedures, sample data tables, and conclusion Time questions are provided. If class period 1. you do not use notebooks in your classroom, students may Materials require paper for recording . Think, Learn, Question (TLQ), page 22. data and conclusions. If . Nuclear Energy Bingo, pages 18-19, 68. you use notebooks in your . Student informational text, pages 25-44.

9 Classroom, your students . Rubric for Assessment, page 17 (optional). may choose to incorporate the activity sheets into their 2 Preparation notebooks.. Make copies of the informational text and Think, Learn, Question (TLQ) worksheet for each student. Online Resources Procedure 1. Give students 3-5 minutes to brainstorm what they know about Nuclear Energy , and some See page 20 for a list of infor- questions they may have. When students are done, take two minutes and let students share mative and interactive web- their thoughts with a partner, then have a class discussion. sites that support this content. 2. During the discussion, record students' thoughts on the board or chart paper. Students may try to correct each other's misconceptions during the conversation. Allow this discussion to take place. However, if there is something that remains in dispute, do not correct the misconception yourself, but make note of it and add it to the question section.

10 Let students know that they should be looking for supporting evidence for their ideas and answers to their questions in the coming days. 3. Play Nuclear Energy Bingo as an introductory activity. Complete instructions are found on pages 18-19, and a blank bingo sheet can be found on page 68. 4. If you are going to have your students participate in the mock Nuclear power plant hearing, introduce the culminating project to your students and assign roles to students to take on as they learn about Nuclear Energy . Encourage students to analyze information from the viewpoint of their assigned character. Throughout the unit students should also conduct outside research to prepare for their presentation at the hearing. Share the rubric with the class before beginning their research and preparation, if desired. See pages 15-16 and 62-63 for more details about the hearing.
