CHANGING STATES OF MATTER LESSON
Content Outcome:
The students will know the different ways substances can change state.
STEP-BY-STEP PROCEDURE:
Hook – “Boys and girls, we have been learning about matter, who can tell me what matter is? Now, what are the three states of matter? Here’s the million dollar question, can things/substances change from a solid to liquid, or liquid to gas? Well, today we are going to learn about changes in states of matter.”
Teaching of Content – We will watch a short video on Brainpop, which demonstrates the changes in matter. Next we will review a power-point to reinforce key concepts and ideas from the video.
Guided Practice – Now that we have gained insight on the various changes in states, we will organize the information into a foldable:
Independent Practice – Using the foldable about the changes of state, students will complete the “changes of state” worksheet.
Closure: Students will observe an experiment, which shows how a solid and liquid reaction leads to the formation of a gas. The gas, Carbon Dioxide, inflates the balloon.
Materials needed for experiment:
