Matter
2.3 The student will investigate and understand basic properties of solids, liquids,
and gases. Key concepts include
a) identification of distinguishing characteristics of solids, liquids, and gases;
b) measurement of the mass and volume of solids and liquids; and
c) changes in phases of matter with the addition or removal of energy.
● Wonderboard: Ask what the children know about matter and let them write it up on
the Whiteboard at the front of the class with markers (10 minutes)
● Lecture: Give cloze on the definition of matter and different stages (20 minutes)
● Movement/Drawing Activity: Children will act out the different stages of matter as
groups of particles and the reaction of the phases with the addition and the removal
of energy and then draw them on a chart (20 minutes)
● Lab: Students will learn how to measure the mass/weight and volume of solids and
liquids (30 minutes)
● Quizizz: Review content with technology (10 minutes)
Differentiation/Enrichment Activities
During the lab, students who understand the concept better based off of their ability to
perform the concepts understood during the movement activity will be paired with those
who are struggling. During the movement and drawing activities, I will be circulating and
be giving assistance to those children who do not understand. For those who understand
those activities better, they will be challenged to apply it to solids and liquids they see on a
daily basis and draw those solids/liquids as well.
Stage 4: Reflection
Use these questions during the 20 minute lecture before doing the movement activity
