1. S Properties and Examples of Matter Instructions Log into Blackboard
Click on the link to open up the concept map for matter in Microsoft word.
Use text boxes to type into the given spaces for the different types of matter.
Off of each given box insert three examples of each type of matter.
Also, insert three properties for each type of matter.
This task uses:
Learning Objective(s): Compare the physical properties of large and small quantities of the same type of matter (PS - M - A1) Describe the properties and behavior of water in its solid, liquid, and gaseous phases (states) (PS - M -A5)
SUBSTITUTION
Technology acts a direct substitute,
with no functional improvement
Teacher Notes: Create the thinking map ahead of time and load onto Blackboard site.
