The document discusses using the "Think Pair Share" thinking routine for a unit on electricity. Students will be put into groups of four to conduct experiments with electrical components and materials from a bag. They will first take time alone to think about the solution, then turn to their neighbor to share thoughts before sharing with the other pair. Conducting the experiments and discussing predictions and results with peers is intended to help students develop an understanding of electrical concepts like circuits, Ohm's law, and symbols through explanation.

TITLE OF THE THINKING ROUTINE:
I read most of the thinking routines and finally I choose ““THINK PAIR SHARE”THINK PAIR SHARE” ::
A routine for active reasoning and explanation. .
EXPLANATION:
The reason why I choose this one is because my unit “AN ELECTRICITY ISSUE” has a
section with math problems about electrical circuits. There are some brand new
concepts, quite easy but a bit abstract. I think that this routine might be good for
developing the knowledge of units, Ohm's law, electrical symbols by explaining of
one another.
RESOURCES:
In the dossier students, they have some experiments with electrical components:
And also they have the materials in a Bag, they can touch, play, switch on, switch
off...for predicting what is going to happen.
HOW ARE YOU GOING TO USE IT?
In groups of four, they are going to make different experiments, with the dossiers and
the materials they can found in the bag. After reading it carefully and before they use
the materials, they have to take a moment, in silence, to think about the solution and
then turn to their neighbour and share their thoughts. Then they have to share their
2. ideas with the other pair. The last part of the routine has to be the check out with the
electrical components. It's important to scaffold students by reminding them to take
turns, listen carefully and ask questions of one another.
