LESSON OVERVIEW

The Three States of  Matter           

INSTRUCTIONAL GOALS

The learner will be able to differentiate between solids, liquids, and gases through inquiry.

The learner will learn to gather information and represent it on s graph.

 

Know and Understand vocabulary:  solid, liquid, gas, property, and matter

 TN STANDARDS

 Science  Classify materials according to their physical properties (science)

 Math     Construct pictographs and bar graphs.

 

FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT

 

 

The learner will be engaged in learning through an anticipation guide.  The anticipation guide increases the learner comprehension because it focuses their attention towards content to be presented.  Unconsciously students will be assimilating and accommodating new information with old information.  Anticipation guide:  has true and false statements about matter and basic properties. The learner states whether they think the statements are true or false.  When everyone has answered, statements are checked by teacher as a whole class.  During active learning, the teacher addresses those questions and proves why they are true or false.  ***  make sure questions target the objectives to be addressed in lesson.


  

LESSON ORGANIZATION

Opening the Lesson:
10
__ minutes

 

 

Ask students as a whole class if they can identify the three states of matter and give and examples (large post-it notes are excellent for recording).

 

Developing the Lesson:
10
__ minutes

Identify materials that will be used in the learning activity , and inform the learner of the objectives/ to identify properties of solids, liquids, and gases.

Closing the Lesson:
10
__ minutes

As a whole class, ask the learner to restate the three examples of matter and the properties observed as a result of the learning activity.  As answers are being given, refer to answers already   recorded.

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.

While matter is being observed put students in groups and partner the special student/s with a stronger student.

LEARNING GOALS

Student learning goals: to identify the three states of matter and characteristics of each state.

                                           to know and understand the lesson’s vocabulary

 

ASSESSMENT

Comprehension will be determined through responses from group discussion.

 

 

After learning activity, this worksheet would be great to check for comprehension of lesson( search through Net Trekker in elementary science.  Search for Elementary Science Matter, the title of website.  Once you have gotten to the site, scroll to “For the Teacher” and go to student worksheet

LEARNING ACTIVITY 

 

Lesson 1 –follow link                     http://www.iit.edu/~smile/ph9516.html

 

 

As answers are being given, record them on the board or chart (large post-it notes are excellent for recording.  They are sticky and can be displayed throughout the unit to refer back to).

 

 

 

ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES

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

 

Divide the class into groups.  Each group will focus on either solids, liquids, or gases.  While in group, they will identify different examples of each state.  Then, each group will share their answers with the whole class.  The answers from each group will be recorded on a graph (the graph should be prepared before the lesson and each individual student should be given and example of a graph to shade. The teacher may want to shade a larger graph to display in the classroom.).  This activity will make students aware of the many different examples of  matter  in our environment .    Student should come to the conclusion that everything is made of matter.  The graph will also show them that the majority of objects are solids.
