Matter+and+Energy+Unit+2

=//**Matter and Energy - Sept. 20-Oct.1**// (2 weeks)=
 * __TEKS:__**

3.5D ,3.5C, 3.5B, 3.5A


 * __Objectives:__**

The students will make and record observations about the physical properties of matter. The students will describe and classify states of matter. The students will compare and observe the effect of temperature changes on the states of matter. The students will explore and recognize that a mixture is a combination of 2 or more substances that can be easily separated.


 * __Essential Questions:__**

3.5A What are some physical properties of matter? How can we measure, test, and record the physical properties of matter? 3.5B How can we describe and classify samples of matter? How can we classify samples of matter based on their shape? 3.5C What can we predict, observe, and record about changes in the state of matter caused by heating? What can we predict, observe, and record about changes in the state of matter caused by cooling? 3.5D How is a mixture created? What are some examples of mixtures? What are some examples of mixtures where the materials of the mixture are visible? What are some examples of mixtures where the materials of the mixture are not visible


 * __Required Lessons:__**

This file containts all of the matter and magnetism lessons. There is also TAKS scopes to use. __Part 1__

Complete Penny Lab. The goal is to have students practice safety skills as well as the scientific process. They begin by predicting and then do the experiment.



__Part 2:__

Review your tables from previous day. Have studnets discuss their observations. Students will complete the follow lab report. Be sure you are using the science vocbulary for this, especially the scientific process.



You may want this poster, previously posted on getting started page, to have students glue it in their journal and refer to it during investigations and experiments.



Bridging II TAKS: Module 2 Kit

__Activities -(see Required Lessons above)__ A. The Property Game (Mystery Bags) B. Closed Mystery Film Cans C. Open Mystery Cans A. Open Mystery Cans
 * ENGAGE:**
 * EXPLAIN:**

__Stations__: All of these are set up in the storage closet. There are 2 sets of stations. Please be sure to put them back when you are done so that the next teacher can use them.

Station 1: Soft Shape Station 2: Tip, It, Turn It Station 3: All Bottled Up (Bottle A is colored water, B is corn syrup, C is baby oil gel, and D is dish soap. Dont tell the kids. Just FYI) Station 4: Comparing Sand and Water Station 5: Does Air Take Up Space? Station 6: Can Air Take Up Space in Water? Station 7: Does Air Have Mass? States of Matter Property Cards (sorting activity)

//THE SCIENCE ASSESSMENT FOR MATTER AND MAGNETISM HAS BEEN MOVED TO OCT. 8//

TAKScopes has a matter unit! Most of it deals with magnetism but the exposity text is great. SR AND JA - JUST PUT A COPY OF THIS ON YOUR CHAIR. For the Matter Test on Friday 10/1 - The vocabulary words the students need to know and practice are atoms, molecules, double pan balance, temperature - reading a thermometer, reading a table, mixture and the definition of a magnet. Additional expository text: Those Houghton Mifflin Harcourt magazines we were given with our leveled readers: **__Make Your Mark__** has an article on magnets that looks good; page 20.

__**Common Assessment:**__

Must be done October 1.
