5 E’s Science Lesson Plan:  Lesson 2B Properties of Matter

Winifred T. Robinson

M/J Comprehensive Science II

Date(s):

Week of October 26, 2009

Enduring Understanding: 

A substance has unique characteristic properties, such as density, a boiling point, and solubility, which do not depend on the amount of the sample.

Essential Question: 

How can the densities of two substances be different if the mass is the same?

District Standards:

DS8: Demonstrate that substances having Equal Volumes can have Different Masses.

DS9: Demonstrate that substances having Equal Masses can have Different Volumes.

DS10: Determine the Densities of Several Solids

Instructional Activities***

ALL 5 Es WILL NOT BE DONE IN ONE CLASS PERIOD.

However, an informal assessment must be completed at the end of each class period.

Response to Intervention (RtI) and Florida Continuous Improvement Model (FCIM)

  Assess individual student progress daily

 Provide remediation or enrichment

Engage:

1.  Fluids Video: Watch the Video. Define volume. Give 3 Characteristic of Fluids.
2.  Will It Sink or Will It Float?

Opening (Day 2, Day 3, etc.):

* “Froggers (My Bell Ringer)” Reiterating the Definition of and How to Calculate Volume and its Relationship to Mass.

Explore:

1. What’s the Volume:  Lab Activity
2. How Dense Is It:  Lab Activity

How I will informally assess the Explore: Exit Ticket-List the three types of volume and explain how each is calculated.

Explain:

1. Calculating Volume Notes.
2. Density Notes

How I will informally assess the Explain: Calculating Volume WS and Calculating Density WS.

Extend:

There will be No Separate Extension of Remediation Activities.

How I will informally assess the Extend:

Evaluate:

1.  What's the Volume:  Lab Activity

2.What's the Density:  Lab Activity

3.  Journal Entry

Vocabulary:

Solid Volume, Liquid Volume, Displaced Volume, Meniscus, Density.

Journal Entry: 

List 2 Physical Properties and 2 Characteristic Properties that will distinguish Gold from Silver.

Homework:
