UNIT OBJECTIVES
1. Understand the concept of mix and flows of matter in various natural system
2. Identify different forms of matter and their interactions in ecosystem.
3. Discuss the interconnectedness of living organism in relation to matter cycles
in the environment.

Key Questions Related
Lesson
-What are the different states of
matter?
-How are fluids used in society to
transport other materials?
-How are fluids able to transport other
substances? Why is this important?
Learning Activities
-States of Matter Review
-In groups you have 20 min to research one
way that fluids are used in society to transport
other materials. Followed by a brief elevator
pitch to the class ~1 min.
-Begin section 2.0 notes
Interactive Multimedia Presentations:
Assign students to create interactive
multimedia presentations using presentation
software like PowerPoint or Google Slides.
Students can incorporate multimedia elements
such as videos, animations, and interactive
diagrams to explain concepts related to states of
matter. This activity enhances critical thinking by
requiring students to synthesize information and
present it in a visually engaging manner.

solids, liquids, and gases, or the changes of state,
and gather relevant information and visuals. Utilize
Canva's design features to create engaging
multimedia content including images, text, and
graphics. Incorporate animations, transitions, and
effects to make your presentation interactive and
dynamic. Consider how each element contributes to
the clarity and effectiveness of your explanation.

Introduc e virtual concept mapping tools
like MindMeister or Coggle to help
students organize and visualize their
understanding of the classification of
mixtures , properties of pure substances,
and related concepts. Assign students to
create virtual concept maps that illustrate
the relationships between different types
of mixtures, their properties, and relevant
terminology.
