Liquid Water and it’s properties Brianna Twohig & Tim Stein

GLCE: E.FE – Describe the properties of water as a liquid (visible, flowing, shape of container) and recognize rain, dew, and fog as water in it’s liquid state. Previous Knowledge: Students should already know that water can be solid, liquid, or gas.

Engage Let’s Make Rain Materials: Glass of very hot water, disposable aluminum pie pan with cold water and ice, and newspapers. 1)Place jar of hot water on top of newspapers. 2)Place cold water and ice in pie pan. 3)Place pie pan over jar and see what happens.

Explore 1)Split students up into pairs. 2) Give each pair a cup filled with water and an empty cup of a different size and width. 3) Ask students to describe what they can see, feel, taste, and smell and write down a list of their describing words. 4)Now ask students what they think will happen if they pour their cup of water into the empty cup of a different size and shape. 5) Now ask students again, to pour their cup of water into the empty cup slowly and describe the motion of the water.

Explain Liquid water is VISIBLE, so you can see it in all forms.

Elaborate Water Jeopardy! Materials: Several Jeopardy questions based on previous knowledge of water and the new knowledge of water, a bell, and one final jeopardy question. 1) Split students up into two teams. Students will go one at a time. 1)Student who rings the bell first after hearing the question gets the allotted amount of points. 2)After all questions have been answered, reveal the final jeopardy question and give groups approx. 5 minutes to answer.
