Anticipatory Set/Hook: The teacher will facilitate students as they identify and classify physical properties of matter.
We will / Objective: We will classify matter based on its physical properties.
I will /Product/Task: I will identify that matter has physical properties that can be observed and classified.
POP: Matter Mix Up Activity
Academic Language: matter, physical properties, balances, magnets, electric circuits, classify, density, solubility, conduct, insulate
Assessment: Matter Mix Up Activity – teacher observation
Tuesday, October 1, 2013
Anticipatory Set/Hook: : The teacher will model for students how to measure physical properties to determine how matter is classified, changed, and used.
Activity: Powerpoint, Investigation, Rap Song on states of matter
We will / Objective: We will identify the boiling and freezing/melting points of water on the Celsius scale.
I will /Product/Task: I will be able to identify the boiling and freezing/melting points of water on the Celsius scale.
POP: Thinking Map – States of Matter – Boiling and freezing/melting points (Celsius)
Academic Language: Boiling point, melting/freezing point, Celsius degrees
Assessment: Notebook documentation based upon investigations in classroom labs

Anticipatory Set/Hook: The teacher will guide students to explore the physical properties of magnetism, density, solubility, and the ability to conduct or insulate thermal or electric energy
We will / Objective: We will explore the physical properties of magnetism, density, solubility, and the ability to conduct or insulate thermal or electric energy
I will /Product/Task: I will be able to classify matter based on its behavior such as ability to float or sink, attraction to a magnet, solubility in water, , and ability to conduct heat or electricity
POP: Thinking Map based on physical properties
Academic Language: Same as Monday
Assessment: Label the poles on the magnets Activity Sheet
Thursday, October 3, 2013
Anticipatory Set/Hook: The teacher will guide students to explore physical properties of density
Density Powerpoint
We will / Objective: We will differentiate between “less dense,” and “more dense” objects based on
lab investigations
I will /Product/Task: I will be able to determine physical properties based on the relative density of objects
POP: Venn Diagram
Academic Language: Same as yesterday
Assessment: Formative Assessment – District

Friday, October 4, 2013
Anticipatory Set/Hook: The teacher will guide students through a lab to determine the characteristic of a physical property through solubility in water
Lab Investigation - solubility
We will / Objective: We will observe the physical characteristic of solubility
I will /Product/Task: I will be able to classify matter based on solubility
POP: Flow Chart
Academic Language: Same as yesterday
Assessment: Observation during lab/documentation in science notebook
