ESSENTIAL QUESTION: What properties can be used to describe matter?
RELEVANCE: Do I matter?
NGSSS: SC.912.P.8.2; MAFS.912.N-Q.1.1; LAFS.910.WHST.1
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Students will be able to:
-identify the properties of matter.
-distinguish between physical and chemical properties of matter.
BELL RINGER: Students record all the observable things they can about the object given.
VOCABULARY: matter, mass, volume, weight, volume, density, physical property, chemical property, physical change, chemical change, properties
HOME LEARNING: notebook update
AGENDA
WHOLE GROUP
Students worked as a team to complete the bell ringer. at group was given an object and asked to write down the observations of the object they were given. Students were to write SOLEY baed on what wa observed, not what is known about the object. Teams then cooperated to write a CER about their observations.
Home learning 3 was collected and reviewed.
Students then completed the activity of using laboratory equipment used in the chemistry lab, if their class had not previously completed the activity. This included finding the mass of objects using a triple beam balance, using a graduated cylinder to find the volume of a liquid, using a metric ruler find the dimensions of an object (length, width, height), using a thermometer to find the temperature of hot and cold water, and using pH paper to determine the pH of solutions.
Students then were asked to identify the physical properties of various materials. They recorded the observable characteristics and determined if the material was a solid, liquid, or gas.
From this information, students discussed and reasoned to find the properties of solids, liquids, and gases and came up with a conclusion about the physical properties of matter.
Materials used in this activity included water, molasses, oil, water, shaving cream, and, an acrylic cube, cotton balls, a balloon filled with air, and a solution of cornstarch and water.
