Directions: Fill in each part of the App Lesson with your own original ideas.

Please look at the

sample provided on the class website. Provide 3 to 4 apps/steps for students to complete along
with a creative title, helpful description, and relevant SC teaching standards.

 There must be one app per step.

 Android apps can be used as long as all included apps are from the same platform.
 Lessons must cohesively link together 3 to 4 apps going from one focus/step of the lesson
to another.
 Lessons may include direct instruction provided the lecture contents are explained.
 Lessons may utilize web browser apps like Chrome or Safari to access website-based
tools. Link to the website in the write-up and the web browser app in the iTunes web link
area.
 The final step in lessons must have students create a learning artifact from a creation-
based app (presentation, video, etc.) or screenshot of progress from a skill-based app
that students would submit to the teacher for assessment.

Title: … The Science Kid of Matter

Relevant SC Standards: …

PS1.A: Structure and Properties of Matter

 Different kinds of matter exist and many of them can be either solid or liquid,
depending on temperature. Matter can be described and classified by its
observable properties. (2-PS1-1)

  Different properties are suited to different purposes. (2- PS1-2), (2-PS1-3)

  A great variety of objects can be built up from a small set of pieces. (2-PS1-3)

PS1.B: Chemical Reactions

 Heating or cooling a substance may cause changes that can be observed.

Sometimes these changes are reversible, and sometimes they are not. (2-PS1-4)

 Analyze data obtained from testing different materials to determine which

materials have the properties that are best suited for an intended purpose.
  Make observations to construct an evidence-based account of how an object made
of a small set of pieces can be disassembled and made into a new object.

Description: This app lesson will develop 2nd grader students’ learning the structure
and properties of matter.

Instructional Objective: Students will be able to understand the how to collect data

of any material based on the property. When identifying the property, you will include
the color, texture, how flexibility, hardness, and sink or float.

Step 1: Students will watch a short game video on Properties of Matter to get and
understanding on what the structure of a property is. It will explain what Matter and the
different properties of matter is.

matter.htm

Step 2: Students will practice on the different worksheets about property and structure
of matter. It will give you the different materials on what to use for each worksheet and
explain how to use the different materials. These worksheets will help students
communicate with their classmate.

Step 3: Students will create their own game to get the teacher and students involve,
need everyone to be creative. Each student will have a chance to present in front of the
class. The game should be at least 3 minutes no less.
