Standards: 6.P.2. Understand the structure, classifications, and physical properties of matter
LESSON
MON. 9/23
VOCAB.
Objective: 6.P.2.3 Compare the physical properties of pure substances
that are independent of the amount of matter present including
density, boiling point, melting point and solubility to properties that
are dependent on the amount of matter present to include volume,
mass and weight.
Solvent
Essential Question: How can different types of matter be distinguished
from each other? What are physical properties of matter? What is
density? What is solubility? How does the temperature of water
change as it goes from a solid to a liquid to a gas?

TUES. 9/24
ENGAGE: Introduce physical properties (color, density, solubility,
melting point, boiling point) through use of pictures and visuals.
Introduce chemical properties (ex. Cookie dough crumbled vs.
baking) on sb: students will discuss visuals and take notes.
Show studyjams video clip.
Introduce words solubility, solvent, and solute by sharing an
example on the board-students will see if they can define solubility,
solvent, and solute based on example.
Have students record what each word means (hint: the robber put
the loot (solute) in the vent (solvent).
Conduct solubility demo with salt and water in a pan. Leave pan on
windowsill and have students observe daily.
Objective: 6.P.2.3 Compare the physical properties of pure substances
that are independent of the amount of matter present including
density, boiling point, melting point and solubility to properties that
are dependent on the amount of matter present to include volume,

Melting point
Lesson:



Review terms solubility, solvent, and solute with class. Warm up will
be to identify the solvent and solute in an example. Students will also
check on their salt water pan and record observations in notebook.
Students will complete the M&M solubility lab with water, oil, and
isopropyl alcohol. If time, students will also complete the hot cocoa
solubility lab to see affect temperature has.
Come back as a whole group to discuss the solubility labs and discuss
conclusions. Also, students will indentify the solvent and solutes.

Density
Lesson:

Review yesterday’s lesson and labs. Complete hot cocoa lab
if haven’t already.
Review the term density. Students will take a few notes on
density and view visuals by comparing density (population of
people, forest, parking lot, etc.)
Introduce density column and have each group create one
after making hypothesis.
Come back as a whole group to discuss the density of each
liquid (water, isopropyl alcohol, oil, honey, corn syrup) and
WHY!

FRIDAY 9/27
Review the density column from yesterday. Discuss how to
find density, volume, and mass and how these three terms are
all related.
Students will complete the candy bar activity while focusing on
density, volume, and mass OR use common objects and predict
if they will float or not based on density.
