Subject/Grade:Grade 5 Chemistry Lesson/Date: November 26th Time:60 min

Stage 1: Desired Results

Lesson Students will be formatively assessed with a Kahoot on previous knowledge about solutions.
Overview: Students will then be walked through a procedure that demonstrates a crystallization. Students
will see in an experiment how a crystal forms while using concepts like saturated, unsaturated,
and crystallization.
GOs: Students will:
Describe the properties and interactions of various household liquids and solids and interpret
their interactions.
SOs: Students will:
 Recognize and identify examples of the following kinds of mixtures:
Eg: a solid and a liquid
 Demonstrate a procedure for making a crystal.
 Apply and evaluate a variety of techniques for separating different materials.

Learning Students will:

Objectives  Recognize and identify examples of the following kinds of mixtures:
Eg: a solid and a liquid

Stage 2: Assessment Evidence

Formative The Kahoot will act as formative Summative
Assessment assessment by seeing how students Assessment
answer each question seeing what we
need to address.

Stage 3: Learning Experience

Prior to - Gather materials Resources: Cups
Lesson: - Get Kahoot set up. Borax
Kettle
Pipe Cleaners

Introduction:
Review of Previous Concepts/New Learning:
 TO review previous concepts, we will be using a Kahoot to introduce a
fun way to review the new concepts we learnt last class
 This also prepares us for the experiment as we will need to know them to
demonstrate crystallization.
 We will also do a fun kahoot just because we do have the laptops!

 There are 10 questions on the Kahoot quiz.

 The link for the Kahoot is above. The questions cover all the information
that we looked at in previous class.
 If anything needs to be gone over I will do so. Depending on the
information and how many they got correct.
Transition – we will now do the experiment as a group. I found letting them do
the last experiment some got out of hand. I really want them to be able to see the
crystals so we will do it as a group.

EXPERIMENT.
- The Resources needed for this lesson are
- Hot water, Kettle
- Plastic Cups
- Pipe Cleaners
- Borax
- String
- Pencils which they all have
Step 1
I will have materials out on my table. Students will line up to get
- One cup
- 1 pipe cleaner
- A spoon for stirring.

Step 2 – I will ask students to create a snowflake by cutting their pipe cleaners.
*** make sure the snowflake is not too big so it will stick to the side of the cup.
They can make icicles too. With a straight stick, This may be best!!!

Step 3 - Mr. Wanner and I will walk around with hot water and pour about ¾ a
cup worth of water into their cup, and 2 ish cups of borax.

Step 4. Stir the borax until almost all of it dissolves.

Step Five – Tie a string on to your pipe cleaner

Step 6 – feed your pipe cleaner into your cup – DON’T TOUCH the side.

Step 7 – Place in back. To be undisturbed overnight.

Transition – Time to clean up

Any extra pipe cleaners go in the garbage. Scissors away.

Consolidation:
Review of Key Concepts/Point to Next Class:
Make sure all is cleaned up
If there is time we will have a conversation about what they think will happen?
