3. Overview of the unit The Properties of Matter unit provides experiences that heighten primary students’ awareness, curiosity, and understanding of the physical world and provides opportunities for young students to engage in scientific and engineering practices. Matter with which we interact exists in three fundamental states: solid, liquid, and gas. In this module, students will Investigate and sort objects based on their properties Observe, describe, and compare the properties and behaviors of solids and liquids and record observations. Observe and describe changes when solids and liquids are heated and cooled. Observe, describe, and record what happens when solids and water are mixed and when liquids and water are mix Acquire the vocabulary associated with the properties of solids and liquids. Use written and oral language to describe observations.

4. NYS Science Scope and Sequence ; Common Core; Optional NYS Learning Standards. NYS Science Scope and Sequence Inquiry Skills: Communicating – giving oral and written explanations or graphic representations of observations Comparing and contrasting – identifying similarities and differences between or among objects, events, data, systems, etc. Creating models – displaying information, using multisensory representations Gathering and organizing data – collecting information about objects and events, which illustrate a specific situation Generalizing- drawing general conclusion for particulars Interpreting data – analyzing data that have been obtained and organized by determining apparent patterns or relationships in the data Process Skills: Observe, collect, and organize, then accurately interpret results. Common Core Standards: CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RI.1.1 Ask and answer questions about key details in a text. CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RI.1.3 Describe the connection between two individuals, events, ideas, or pieces of information in a text. Optional NYS Learning Standard for ELA: NYS ELA Standard 1: Students will read, write, listen, and speak for information and understanding. Benchmark: As listeners and readers, students will collect data, facts, and ideas, discover relationships, concepts, and generalizations; and use knowledge generated from oral, written, and electronically produced texts. As speakers and writers, they will use oral and written language to acquire, interpret, apply, and transmit information. NYS ELA Standard 2: Students will read, write, listen, and speak for critical analysis and evaluation. Benchmark: As listeners and readers, students will analyze experiences, ideas, information, and issues presented by others using a variety of established criteria. As speakers and writers, they will present, in oral and written language and from a variety of perspectives, their opinions and judgments on experiences, ideas, information and issues.

Theorists & Literature Behavior Objectives & Motivation Bloom’s Taxonomy: Synthesis, Comprehension, Evaluation and Application Gardner’s Multiple Intelligence(s): Spatial, Logical, Linguistic, and Naturalistic. Children’s Literature: What is matter? By Don L. Curry SWBAT identify matter around them. SWBAT classify items as matter or non-matter. Motivation: Teacher will ask students to name some things that are around them. Teacher list the students ideas on the board. Lesson 1 –What is Matter?

8. Theorists & Overview Behavior Objectives & Motivation Blooms Taxonomy: Comprehension, Analysis, Application, and Evaluation. Gardner’s Multiple Intelligence(s): Linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, and naturalistic. It provides the students an opportunity to explore the properties of a liquid with the teacher. Then the students explore with their science group members in generating a list of properties on their own, relating their findings to their own life, and engaging in conversations to articulate concepts with one another. SWBAT observe and classify liquids and its properties to better describe that liquid. SWBAT identify the similarities and differences between solids and liquids based on their properties. SWBAT carefully draw and label a “relevant liquid,” including a list of three properties, and two complete sentences on its function, exhibiting established science concepts. Motivation: Teacher invites the students to the science lab center, together they explore and gather information on the properties of maple syrup contained in a gradulated cylinder.  The class creates a list of properties on a chart, enlightening their brilliant brains on how to describe liquids using properties.  Science Safety will be revisited. Lesson 2: What Properties Describe a Liquid?

Gardner’s Multiple Intelligence(s): Linguistic, logical- mathematical, spatial, and naturalistic. This lesson is constructed for a grade one, general education class in mind. This lesson aligns with both New York City Science Performance Standards as well as New York State ELA Common Core Standards. SWBAT carefully observe a “classroom solid” and generate observations and properties of that solid. SWBAT explore a solid experiment and generate observations and properties of that solid. SWBAT identify, draw and label a solid based on its properties. SWBAT carefully write and articulate their findings with classmates, exhibiting established science concepts through descriptive sentences on its properties and a distinct function. Teacher invites the students over to the meeting area and together they describe the rock’s properties and then the teacher shares the “secret solid” for the students to guess what it is and how they know (using properties) that it is a sea shell. Lesson 3: What Properties Describe a Solid?

Gardner’s Multiple Intelligence(s): Linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, and naturalistic. Children’s Literature: Gases (States of Matter) by Jim Mezzanotte SWBAT identify 3 properties of gas. SWBAT identify the difference between liquid, solid and gas. Motivation: Teacher will blow up a balloon in front of the class. She will ask the students what they think is in the balloon that is keeping it inflated. The likely answer will be air. Teacher will explain to students there is actually carbon dioxide in the balloon which is a gas. She will then let the air out of the balloon and ask the students what happened to the gas. Possibly answers would be, it’s gone and it vanished. Teacher will then tell the students we will read the book Gases (States of Matter) by Jim Mezzanotte to find out where the gases have gone. Lesson 4 - What is a Gas?

Curry SWBAT classify all different types of matter according to its state of liquid, solid and gas. SWBAT identify the difference between liquid, solid and gas.
