OBJ: (Scientific Investigation and Reasoning) Classifying matter
Lesson: The student is expected to classify matter based on physical properties, including mass,
magnetism, physical state (solid, liquid, and gas), relative density (sinking and floating),
solubility in water, and the ability to conduct or insulate thermal energy or electric energy.
Vocabulary
Matter, Mass, Properties, Magnetism, Physical State, Relative Density, Solubility, Thermal
Energy, Electrical Energy, Conductor, Insulator, Classify
Lesson: TSW take notes over the three states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas
Activity: TSW create flap book explaining the states of matter.TSW demonstrate their
understanding of what particles are doing during each state of matter. TSW make a particle
diagram.

OBJ: (Scientific Investigation and Reasoning) Classifying Matter: Density
Lesson: TSW discuss and answer the following questions through science investigation:
What is density and what objects are less or more dense than water?
Activity: TSW take notes in their comp book over Density. TSW conduct a lab to demonstrate
density using water.

OBJ: (Scientific Investigation and Reasoning) Classifying Matter
Lesson: The student is expected to classify matter based on physical properties, including mass,
magnetism, physical state (solid, liquid, and gas), relative density (sinking and floating),
solubility in water, and the ability to conduct or insulate thermal energy or electric energy.
Activity: TSW complete a lab over solubility. What substances will dissolve in water? We will
go through Motivation Science pages 9 & 10 as guided practice and p 11 & 12 as independent
practice.
Homework: Complete MS p 11 &12 if not finished in class

OBJ: (Scientific Investigation and Reasoning) Classifying Matter
Activity: TSW either finish up our Motivation Science or lab activities. No test due to short week. The
States of Matter Project will their test grade. It is due September 19th.
