Lesson Plan: States of Matter (What causes a solid to become a liquid?)

Content Area: Science

Grade Level: Third Grade

Learning Objectives

  •       The students will learn how to identify different properties and characteristics of liquids and solids.
  •        The students will learn how to understand conservation of quantity. If the same amount of liquid/solid is poured into a different container, the amount remains the same.
  •       The students will learn how to clarify characteristics of solids and liquids.


Standards

·         SC.3.N.1.1: Raise questions about the natural world, investigate them individually and in teams through free exploration and systematic investigations, and generate appropriate explanations based on those explorations.
·         SC.3.N.1.2: Compare the observations made by different groups using the same tools and seek reasons to explain the differences across groups.
·         SC.3.N.1.3: Keep records as appropriate, such as pictorial, written, or simple charts and graphs, of investigations conducted.
·         SC.3.N.1.4: Recognize the importance of communication among scientists.
·         SC.3.N.1.5: Recognize that scientists question, discuss, and check each other’s evidence and explanations.
·         SC.3.N.1.6: Infer based on observation.
·         SC.3.N.1.7: Explain that empirical evidence is information, such as observations or measurements, that is used to help validate explanations of natural phenomena.
·         SC.3.N.3.1: Recognize that words in science can have different or more specific meanings than their use in everyday language; for example, energy, cell, heat/cold, and evidence.
·         SC.3.N.3.2: Recognize that scientists use models to help understand and explain how things work.
·         SC.3.P.8.2: Measure and compare the mass and volume of solids and liquids.
·         SC.3.P.8.3: Compare materials and objects according to properties such as size, shape, color, texture, and hardness.
·         SC.35.CS-CS.1.4: Create a simple model of a system (e.g., flower or solar system) and explain what the model shows and does not show.

Materials
·         Hair dryer
·         Glass bowl
·         Hershey chocolate bars
·         Wooden sticks
·         Plates, napkins
·         Food to dip in chocolate (possibilities include: marshmallows, pretzels, Rice Krispies Treats, strawberries, and apple slices)

Steps
1.      Set up the equipment and materials to prepare for the lesson.
2.      Hand out plates, napkins, sticks, and worksheets to students.
3.      Explain the difference between a solid and a liquid.
4.      Demonstrate with a solid chocolate bar how using a hair dryer can melt a solid into a liquid.
5.      Evaluate the differences between a solid and a liquid.
6.      Allow students to indulge in the chocolate in the bowl, allowing them to dip their food into the chocolate.

Evaluation
1.      Participation.
2.      Enthusiasm.
3.      Completion of worksheets.
4.      Understanding of objectives:
-          The students will learn how to identify different properties and characteristics of liquids and solids.
Ø  Write one difference between solids and liquids on the worksheet.
-          The students will learn how to understand conservation of quantity. If the same amount of liquid/solid is poured into a different container, the amount remains the same.
Ø  Write about the difference between how the bowl was filled with the chocolate bar as a solid and then when it was a liquid.
-          The students will learn how to clarify characteristics of solids and liquids.
Ø  Draw a solid object and then it as a liquid. Describe why they drew it as such.

The teacher will then go through the alphabet letter by letter as the students use the paper guide to follow along.

Students will then individually sign their names to themselves, then they will show their peers.

Depending on how fast the class learns they will then sign their last name, as well as give themselves a “name sign” and learn the importance of them.

Simple phrases such as “how are you,” “my name is,” etc. will be taught to the class depending on how quickly they pick up the lesson.

Lesson: Graphing, Counting, Surveying

Objective: Students will learn how to graph, count and survey skittles.

Materials: 

Skittles

Paper
pen

Visual/Resources:

 Paper, pen, skittles (lots) or different coloured candy 

Differentiated Instruction Strategies: 

 Each person chooses a blue or pink skittle and uses it has a visual cue to show a graph of who likes what. The other students then write how many people like what option more. Shows if they understand the graph, counting and the survey

Procedures:

Everyone handed each 2 colours, chose one (can eat the other) and make a chat side to side of pasta vs pizza

If the child does it after one instruction they get an A, after 3 instructions B, etc…

Will be a fun and yummy way to explain: surveys and graphing and counting
Students will say how many like who, in a reflection. If they fail to get it right or don’t hand it in it will bring their mark down.


Vocabulary:  

Charts, visual cues, graphs, counting
