Introduction
Welcome Science Learners!
Today, we are going to learn about the three states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas. So, relax and brace yourselves as we tackle this topic because I assure you that this may not be a boring day for all of us.
Task
Task 1:
Learners will be group into three. Each group will be given a materials to distinguish whether it is solid, liquid and gas.
Task 2:
Afterwards, they will going to watch a video and identify how the particles are arranged in the three states of matter.
Process
Task 1:
- The teacher will provide a materials, three to be exact per group.
- Each group will be given only two minutes to distinguish the materials given. Write you answers in a one whole sheet of paper.
- After two minutes (finish or not), the materials received by each group will be passed to the group next to them and distinguish it again if it is solid, liquid and gas until the first-three materials they have received from the start will be back in each group.
- Make sure that each group will received a total of nine materials.
Task 2:
- Watch this video: http://www.youtube.come/watch?v=s-KvoVzukHo&feature=share&list=PLBD54C6BCA947A5E4 and answer the following questions in any sheet of paper. Then choose a representative to share your answers in the class.
- How are the particles arranged in a solid?
- How about in a liquid?
- How do the particles in a gas behave?
Evaluation
Teacher will evaluate students by roaming around the classroom and making sure that every group is staying on task as well as each member is participating in the group activity.
You will be also graded according to the following criteria:
Content and Accuracy - 20%
Originality - 20%
Collaboration/Participation - 10%
TOTAL: 50%
Conclusion
After the activity, the learners are expected to give examples among the three states of matter and they should have learned how to identify each one of it and its differences as well as how the particles are arranged in a solid, liquid and gas.
