Liquid and Solid Unit

Lesson Plan #1 Name: Ashley Scherle Subject: Science Content/Topic: Introduction to Matter: liquids, solids, and gases Date:
August 31st Grade: Two Instructional Strategies: Direct (Explicit Teaching) and Interactive (Large group discussion)
Outcomes: LS2.1 Investigate observable physical properties (e.g., colour, taste, smell, shape, and texture) of familiar liquids and solids. [SI]
Indicators: Students will be able to: a. Pose questions that lead to investigation and exploration of the properties of familiar liquids and solids. b. Classify objects in various natural and constructed environments as liquids or solids.
Cross Curricula Competencies: developing thinking, developing literacies Prerequisite Learning: Students understand how to work respectfully in pairs. Students understand the concept of sorting. Adaptive Dimension:
Preparation: (equipment/materials/set-up) Materials: Envelopes and cards (13), teacher cards, chart paper, pen Set-up: photo copy cards for pg. 19-21 in Properties of liquids and solids.
Set ( 20 minutes) 1. Gather students on the floor on the foam mat. 2. Tell students that today we are going to start a fun science unit and we are going to do an activity in pairs to help us figure out what we are going to learn about. 3. Each pair is going to get an envelope of cards then you will go find a place in the room to work. You and your pair are going to take turns reading the word on the card then place the cards on the table/floor where you are working. Then I want you to sort the picture cards in a way you think makes sense. Sorting: Putting things together that are the same. Every time you sort things you need a sorting rule. Example, colour, shape, size etc. 4. Show students an example of sorting on the chart paper. 5. Repeat the instructions for the task. #1 When your name and your partners name is called take your envelope and quietly go find a place to work in the room. #2 Take turns pulling a picture card out of the envelope and saying the word that is on the card then place it on the floor/table. #3 Sort the cards how ever you think is right. You will have 5 minutes. 6. Ask 2 students to repeat the instructions before beginning. Development ( 20 minutes) 1. Give students about 5 minutes to complete sorting activity. 2. Ask students to share how they sorted their cards and why. 3. After a few groups to share their answers I will ask the students to come sit back on the mat. 4. Share with the student how I sorted the cards. (blow up the cards and sticky tack them to the board. Why do you think I sorting the cards this way? I sorted these cards by their state of matter. (Liquid or Solid) Matter is anything that takes up place or as weight. Matter can be in the form of a solid like a tree of a clock. Matter can be in the form of a liquid like rain or juice. Matter can be in the form of gas like steam or fog. Liquid matter can flow one place to another. Liquid spreads out and gravity pulls it down. This means that liquids will usually flow from a high place to a low place. The farther liquid falls the faster liquid flows. Liquid

Preparation: (equipment/materials/set-up) Materials: Change It! Solids, liquids and you By Adrienne Mason, Solids and Liquids handout from lesson #1, pg. 24 from properties of liquids and solids. (26 copies) Set-up: Have all materials ready to go and up by the teaching chair.
Set ( 2 minutes) 1. Gather students on the floor on the foam mat. 2. Tell students that today we are going to review what we started to learn about yesterday. Ask who remembers what we are learning about? (Matter, liquids, solids) Tell the students that I have a book called Change it! Solids, liquids, gases and you that Im going to read to you. 3. Before beginning the story review what and how I expect the students to act while Im teaching. Introduce the non-verbal cue system If you are disturbing the class I will simply write your name on the whiteboard and if you get 2 xs beside your name you will have to come talk to me after class. Development ( 25 minutes) 1. Begin reading the story to the class. Each page has an interactive component. Tell students that I dont what you to yell out the answers. I will call your name, then you can give me an answer. 2. After the story make a chart with the class. The chart will include three categories. ( Solids, Liquids and Gases) Ask students to help you decide what each of the state matters look like. Solids: dont change shape easily (they have to be pushed or pulled, heated or cooled.) Liquids: can flow, take the shape of the container they are in. Gases: have no shape, they spread out to fill the space they are in. 3. Remind students to put up their hands if they have an idea (answer). 4. Tell students that I will keep the list we started today and we can add things as we are learning. 5. ***If students are getting to distracted stand up and play a quick game of Miss Scherle Says. 6. Tell/show students that I have a fun worksheet for the students to do called Favourite Solids and Liquids Survey. 7. Read through questions with the students. 8. Tell students that when you get your paper go sit down at your table and first write your name then fill out the my answer column, then quietly ask two friends at your table their answers and write them down.

Set-up: Organize all materials before class starts
Set ( 8 minutes) 28. Gather students on the floor on the foam mat. 29. Tell students that today we are all going to get a chance to be scientists working and observing in the lab. We are going to be exploring mixing different liquids together to see what happens. 30. Before we start our experiment we need to go over how to act when we are doing a class experiment. Look over chart paper. 31. Also, before we start I have a few mystery liquids. Two liquids were mixed together in this cup and as we mix many different liquids together we are going to try and figure out what the mystery liquids are in this cup. 32. Move students to the lab area so all observers can see the experiments being done. 33. Remind students that I want them to watch closely to all the liquid mixtures because after we are done all of them I want you to draw a picture of your favourite and explain why with a few words. **movement break** Development (25 minutes) 28. Students names will be drawn out of a bucket (2 at a time) to see who the first scientists are. Remind students that everyone will get a chance. 29. Ask students to predict what they think will happen when I mix two liquids together? Do all liquids mix together the same? 30. Each student will have a liquid and at the same time they will pour the each liquid into one cup and see what happens. 31. Continue with about 6 pairs then have a stretch break! 32. Explanation of why some liquids mix and some separate: Certain liquids are heavier, "dense", than others. When you attempt to mix two liquids which have different densities, they separate when you stop mixing them. The "heavier" liquid deposits itself on the bottom and the "lighter" liquid deposits itself on top. There exists a wide range of liquids with various densities. Molasses is most dense while alcohol is the least dense liquid. 33. Remind students to try and figure out the mystery liquids. Also remind students to

Tell the class that today we are going to learn more about solid matter. Ask students what a solid is: --A solid is one kind of matter. --A solid takes up space. --Solids have a shape of their own. --Solids keep their shape and size. Solids have a definite shape that you can see and feel. --The molecules in a solid are very close together and have little space to move around. What do we know about properties of solids? --Many of a solids physical properties are easy to see and describe. We use these properties to help identify the solid. Properties show how one solid is the same and yet different from other solids. What are these properties?

Set ( 10 minutes) 54. Gather students on the floor on the foam mat. 55. Review I Chart 56. Ask students what kind of matter we are learning about right now. (Solids) --One way to find out what state of matter something is is by what its made out of. Has anyone heard the term molecules before? --All matter is made up of molecules. A molecule is a tiny, tiny particle that are too small to see, even with a very strong microscope. These tiny particles join together to make solids, liquids and gases. The molecules are always moving. --The molecules in a solid are very close together. The molecules have very little room to move around. (Draw picture on the board). --The molecules in a liquid are close together, but not as close as solids. They have room to move around. The molecules in liquids flow. (Draw picture on the board). 57. --The molecules in a gas are spread far apart. The molecules float around and spread out in all directions. These molecules keep moving and gently bump into each other. (Draw picture on the board). 58. Show students picture and ask students what they see in this picture and ask them what do they think we are going to learn about today. Dissolving Solids in water. 59. Read the back of the card. 60. Tell students that today as a class we are going to explore if solids dissolve in water or not. 61. *****Stretch Development (20 minutes) 49.

Cross Curricula Competencies: developing thinking, developing literacies Prerequisite Learning: What is matter? Solids, Liquids and Gases Adaptive Dimension: Students will share ideas with the class. Students can use words and pictures to show what they learned about. Preparation: (equipment/materials/set-up) Materials: Video: http://vimeo.com/1592015, chart paper, self evaluation sheet Set-up: video
Set ( 10 minutes) 135. Tell students that today we are going to wrap up and review what we have learned about solids, liquids and gases through out the past few weeks. 136. Start by watching a review song: http://vimeo.com/1592015 Development (25 minutes) 113. Tell students that each of them are going to think about something they have learned about to share with the class. I will write it done on chart paper. 114. Half way through stop and have students complete a self evaluation. 115. Go over it on the document camera. 116. Once students have completed the sheet gather students back and continue list of what we learned about. Things we learned about: -Matter is anything that takes up place or as weight. Matter can be in the form of a solid like a tree of a clock. Matter can be in the form of a liquid like rain or juice. Matter can be in the form of gas like steam or fog. Liquid matter can flow one place to another. Liquid spreads out and gravity pulls it down. This means that liquids will usually flow from a high place to a low place. The farther liquid falls the faster liquid flows. -Solids: dont change shape easily (they have to be pushed or pulled, heated or cooled.) -Liquids: can flow, take the shape of the container they are in. -Gases: have no shape; they spread out to fill the space they are in. -Explanation of why some liquids mix and some separate: Certain liquids are heavier, "dense", than others. When you attempt to mix two liquids which have different densities, they separate when you stop mixing them. The "heavier" liquid deposits itself on the bottom and the "lighter" liquid deposits itself on top. There exists a wide range of liquids with various densities. Molasses is most dense while alcohol is the least dense liquid. Solids can be different colours, shapes, sizes, textures and weigh differently. -Buoyancy All matter is made up of molecules. A molecule
