1. Topic-
|
| Physical Science-Properties of Matter, Reactions, and Physical Change |
| |
|
2. Content-
|
1. Physical properties of solids, liquids, and gases.
2. Two or more substances mixed together can undergo a reaction and
make a physical change into a matter with different properties. |
| |
|
3. Goals: Aims/Outcomes-
|
1.Students will know the three properties of matter, solid, liquid,
and gas
2.Students will be able to find examples of the three matter in real
life.
3. Students will be able to understand |
| |
|
|
4. Objectives-
|
1.Based on the knowledge of solids, liquids, and gases, students
will distinguish the three properties of matter from real life examples.
2. Students will be able to explain to another classmate the process
of how two substances that possess different properties can be mixed
and exhibit a new property.

|
5. Materials and Aids-
|
| Basketball, Lego blocks, orange juice, sugar cubes, water, stirring
sticks, flash cards with images of different examples of solids, liquids,
& gases, plastic cups, root beer, and vanilla ice cream |
| |
|
6. Procedures/Methods-
|
|
A. Introduction-
1.Present to students the basketball, Lego blocks, orange juice,
and water. Ask students how the basketball and orange juice are different.
Ask a few more questions that compare solids and liquids.
2.Then ask students how they think steam and water are different.
Ask students how they think ice and water are different.
3.Ask students what they think will happen when two different types
of matter are mixed together.
4. Students will share thoughts with partners and then share as a
class. |
| |
|
|
B. Development-
1. Students will be introduced to what matter is and how the three
types of matter (solid, liquid, & gas) possess different properties.
2.Students will then be introduced to what a reaction means in science
and how a reaction occurs.
3. Students will be introduced to the concept of how two different
matter mix together and create a new property, which is called a physical
change. |
| |
|
|
C. Practice-
1. Using the objects that were used in the introduction of the lesson,
the teacher will go through each object and decide with the class
whether it is a solid, liquid, or gas.
2. Teacher will mix sugar cubes in water to demonstrate how two different
matter are mixed and create a new property.
3.Finally, teacher will show how a root beer float is made by mixing
root beer and vanilla ice cream and explain how the physical change
occurs. The liquid root beer mixes with the solid ice cream and creates
fizzy bubbles which is gas. |

|
|
D. Independent Practice-
1. Students will sit with a partner, where each pair will be given
a different bag of Flashcards that show different examples matter.
2. Students will sort the Flashcards into solids, liquids, or gases.
3.After mixing sugar cubes and water, students will make their own
root beer floats and observe the reaction. |
| |
|
|
E. Accommodations (Differentiated Instruction)-
Students who have difficulty understanding the lesson will be supported
with additional instruction and will be grouped with classroom assistant
in addition to classmate.
|
| |
|
|
F. Checking for understanding-
1.During learning activity with partners, students will discuss
with each other why they think a particular flashcard is a solid,
liquid, or gas. Teacher will float around to facilitate and ensure
students' proper understanding and discussion.
2. After partner activity, each pair will share their thoughts with
the class and be able to explain what a reaction is and what the physical
changes of the sugary water and root beer are. |
| |
|
|
G. Closure-
Students will enjoy root beer float and clean up.
|
| |
|
7. Evaluation-
|
The next day, students will be given a worksheet that consists of
multiple choice questions with definitions of the key terms and short
answer questions that asks to explain the reaction of the root beer
float and provide real life examples of a solid, liquid, and gas.
For bonus points, there will be a question that asks to provide a
different example of a reaction that resulted in a physical change.

|
8. Teacher Reflection-
|
| Record reflection on level of students' understanding and make note
of any struggles or unexpected situations as well as advice for future
lessons. |
