Heating the air:Radiation and Conduction

Day 1: Launch

Genre: Expository Nonfiction

Essential Question: What are some examples of heat transfer that involve radiation and conduction?

Learning targets: You will be reading closely with purpose, determining the meaning of new words, and using the text to support your thinking.

Day 1: Close readingI can read fifth grade text with purpose and understanding.• Preview text. What do you notice about the diagrams, sidebars, charts, and

subheadings?

• Read and React: Take 20 minutes to read pages 21-26 closely with your pencil in your hand. Write down everything you are thinking in the margins (questions, reactions, new learning, new vocab….)

• Zoom in: As you read, notice how is the information is presented or and organized in this text. How does the author use subheading to organize different topics?

Day 1: Think, Pair, Share

1. How do the diagrams on page 22 clearly show kinetic energy?

2. How are the subheadings connected? What is the purpose of each subheading?

3. Which words are in bold print? Why do you think the author chose to put these words in bold print?

On a sticky note, answer…..

How was the information is presented or organized in this text?

Day 2: Making MeaningI can determine the meaning of words or phrases in a text.

• Jot down these words in the first column of the inferred meaning chart• kinetic energy• energy transfer• radiant energy• conduction• particle

Day 2: Making Meaning

• Reread along long with me and jot down clues that will help you to infer the meaning of the bold words.

• Look for clues the author gives you including parts of speech, suffixes and prefixes you know, and other context clues

• What do we infer each word to mean? Let’s add that to the inferred meaning column.

Day 2: I can determine the meaning of words or phrases in a text.•Now that you have text clues and an inferred

meaning, your job is to use each word in a sentence of your own to show you understand the meaning.

Day Three: Gathering EvidenceI can explain how an author uses reasons and evidence to support particular points in a text.

•Read, Write, Talk with your partner. 1. Each partner silently reads a page and jots down the

main idea of each page or paragraph. 2. When both partners have finished a page, discuss what

they wrote down. You can also discuss what you learned or ask any questions you have.

3. Use your partner to help you read a word or answer any lingering question you have about the text.

guidelines.Define heat transfer and give some examples that involve radiation and

conduction.As you write today, be sure to..• Restate the prompt• Reread the text and cite your evidence with sentence starters like the author

states on page ___, according to the text…. Let’s • Put your eyes on the answers in the text and underline or highlight the

• Using your partner’s suggestions edit your response and turn in.• Sketch, color, and label the kinetic energy diagram on white paper.

Rephrase the captions in your own words to show you understand what is happening in each diagram.
