a. Knowledge gaining : write a paragraph explaining how students will gain knowledge. Students will gain knowledge of Magnetism and Electricity in several different ways. Students will watch a You Tube video about Magnetism and Electricity and then they will explore the 4th grade Science Web Page to enhance and further their knowledge. b. Knowledge organizing : write a paragraph explaining how students will organize the knowledge they gained. Students will organize individually the knowledge they are learning by taking notes in a Word Documents. The students will later apply their knowledge to their group's wiki page. Another way students will organize their knowledge is by using a Google Doc to insert new vocabulary words. T he students will have to consider all of the ways they are gaining knowledge.

**//Preparation //** Explain what preparation is required before the project begins (e.g. arrange for field trip). 1. The teacher will introduce the unit by having a class discussion. 2. The teacher will have to create a Magnetism and Electricity using Wiki Spaces and give access to all students. <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">3. The teacher will set up a twitter account and give all students access to tweet comments or questions to the teacher or to one another. <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">4.
