INSTRUCTIONAL PROJECT 4

1) Date: 04/23/24

Teacher: Ms. Munira N

2)Lesson: The States of Matter

Lesson Type: Daily lesson plan

3) Grade: 4th

Subject: Physical science

4) Timeline: about 45 minutes

5) Standards: Students investigate matter's measurable properties, including mass, volume,

states, temperature, magnetism, and relative density, to determine how it is classified.

6) Instructional Objectives: The student is expected to:

(A) classify and describe matter using observable physical properties, including temperature,

mass, magnetism, relative density (the ability to sink or float in water), and physical state (solid,

liquid, gas).

7) Materials: 3-5 samples each of a solid, liquid, and gas for students to work with. (The total

should be enough for each pair of students.)


Prepare ahead of time: Samples of solids could be blocks of wood, fabric, metal, glass, plastic,

etc. Liquids could include coffee, juice, milk, honey, etc. Gas could include soda (carbonation),

moth balls, empty containers to represent air, etc.

A chart/worksheet for students to write specific observations and measurements.

Water (add food coloring), ice cubes (use Kool-Aid cubes if possible), method to show water

(add something to the water to create an odor) boiling or condensation on the outside of a cold

glass, apple sauce or jelly.

Various measuring tools according to the attributes like thermometer, pan balance, digital

weighing scale, magnets, graduated cylinders, and measuring cups.

8) Introduction:

Bell work: Students will make a list of 5 items that they use in their daily life available in various

states of matter.

Opening activity or Hook: (Whole group)

 Display the bottle of water, ice cubes, and boiling water (or show condensation) for

students to observe using only their 5 senses.

 Once all are seated, ask students to share their observations.

 Write all answers on the board.


9) Instructional Activities and Procedures:

 After 5 – 7 minutes, discuss the differences and what makes them a solid, liquid, or

gas.

 Pair the students in small groups of 4 or 5.

 Introduce students to the items they will be working with.

 Distribute prepared worksheets to each student for recording observations.

 Stress the importance of making clear specific observations.

 Show examples of the good data record sheet.

 Ask students to use the provided tools to measure the listed attributes of each matter.

For example, measure the volume of water, use a magnet to check for magnetism

properties.

 Supervise and ask ongoing questions to the students while they are working to check

for understanding.

10) Modifications:

Struggling Students: Students will be provided examples to which they can match to identify the

states of matter. For example, a picture of an ice cube named solid will be provided. The student

will match the real ice cube to the picture to identify the state of matter.

Advanced Students:

 Students can work alone walking around the room to observe items on display. Then

students will go outdoors and pick items randomly to measure and observe the listed

attributes using the same tools.


 Students can decide which of the items can be changed into a different state; solids used

in liquids (Kool-Aid, pulp), and provide other questions for reflection.

11) Evaluation and Assessment: the data record sheet be used to assess understanding of the

content.

Exit Ticket: Students will answer a question: What are the three states of matter and name to

measurable attributes that help differentiate them.
