Provide a metaview, lifting students into a wider view of the concept. Use another medium (not reading or writing) to connect students' personal knowing to the concept (i.e. visual arts, music, movement, metaphor, etc.) Involve learners in reflective production that blends the emotional and the cognitive.

Simulation

Objective: Students will simulate electron movement occurring in static electricity and current electricity.
Activity: Work in an open area and divide students into groups of 5 or 6. Give each group a circle of paper with either: a + sign, representing a proton; a – sign, representing an electron; blank, representing a neutron. Students in each group arrange themselves to model the particles of an atom. Students who are neutrons and protons should bunch together in a tightly bound center. The electrons circle around the neutrons and protons. As the group spins faster and faster, the electrons fly off and begin circling another atom and then repeat the same movement. This symbolizes electron movement or electricity. Static electrons jump from atom to atom. Current electrons flow smoothly from atom to atom in a circular path. Simulate by a “Grand Right and Left”.
Evaluation: Participation in study.
