LESSON OVERVIEW

All Matter is Made of  Atoms 

INSTRUCTIONAL GOALS

To understand that all matter is made of small particles called atoms.

To understand that atoms behave differently in different states of matter

 TN STANDARDS

All matter is made of small particles, atoms

Atoms behave differently in different states of matter

 

 

FORMATIVE

ASSESSMENT

The learner will be given examples of matter to identify.

The learner will be asked to describe the behavior of atoms in different states of matter


  

 

 

 

LESSON ORGANIZATION

Opening the Lesson:
_5_ minutes

 The learner will be asked to identify objects by their states of matter.

Developing the Lesson:
15
__ minutes

The learner will be informed that all matter is made of tiny particles called atoms.  Drawings will be made of particles on  board to show their appearance in each state.  For example, in a solid the circles, atoms, will be drawn closer together.  In a liquid they will be farther apart and  in a gas they will be the farthest away from each other. 

 

Closing the Lesson:
_5_ minutes

Restate that all matter is made of tiny particles called atoms.

Restate that atoms behave differently in each state: in a  liquid atoms are close together, in a solid they are closer, and in a gas they are the farthest apart.

TEACHING RESOURCES

Materials:  textbook, board, dry-erase markers, and examples of solids, liquids, and gases

LAB SAFETY

No safety concerns

ACCOMMODATIONS FOR SPECIAL LEARNERS

Preferential seating to ensure examples are seen and instruction from teacher is clear  for students with vision and hearing  disabilities

ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES

Provide the learner with a variety of examples of matter to identify

 

Make three groups of five to six students.  Each student in each group will represent the atoms .  Group one will be the atoms in a solid, group two liquids, and group three gases.  Group one, solid will be asked to stand close to one another and step forward and then back.  They should step with the same foot as a whole class.  Their closeness will represent how atoms move in a solids.  The second group will be asked to walk in the center of the room.  They should walk freely of one another.  Groups two represents the behavior of atoms in a liquid.  Group will be asked to walk around the room.  They are encouraged to spread out and walk in every area of the room.  Group three represents the behavior of atoms in a gas.

ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES

 

Make three groups of five to six students.  Each student in each group will represent the  atoms .  Group one will be the atoms in a solid, group two liquids, and group three gases.  Group one, solid will be asked to stand close to one another and step forward and then back.  They should step with the same foot as a whole class.  Their closeness will represent how atoms move in a solids.  The second group will be asked to walk in the center of the room.  They should walk freely of one another but remain in close enough to stay in the same area.  Group might touch occasionally but not constantly.  Groups two represents the behavior of atoms in a liquid.  Group will be asked to walk around the room freely.  They are encouraged to spread out and walk in every area of the room.  Group three represents the behavior of atoms in a gas.  Because they are free to walk in all areas of the room, they will show how a gas fill up its space regardless of shape or size.
