Properties of Matter

Learning about Properties of Matter!

You will be learning about matter and its properties.

Follow the presentation to learn about how to classify matter using its properties and show what you know by completing the activities.

Once you have finished the presentations you will record yourself performing an experiment.

Follow your checklist and have fun!

South Carolina College and Career Readiness Standards
2.P.3A.1
Analyze and interpret data from observations and measurements to describe the properties used to classify matter as a solid or a liquid. Solids and liquids are two forms of matter that have distinct observable properties. 

iSTE Standards

1.Creativity and innovation: students demonstrate creative thinking,   construct knowledge, and develop innovative products and processes using technology.

a. Apply existing knowledge  to generate new ideas, products, or processes
b. Create original works as a means of personal or group expression.

What you will do:1.Post a reply in Seesaw2.Comment or ask a question to a post3.Research4.Share your experiment by filming it

Matter and Properties of Matter•Matter can be described based on the properties of solids and liquids.•In order to classify matter as a solid or a liquid, you must pay attention to the properties of the matter.•If it is a solid, it is hard and has its own shape.•If it is a liquid, it does not have its own shape and it can be poured or spilled. 

*Watch the following videos about matter. You must click on the link and it will direct you to the page to watch the video. Once the first video has finished watch the second video and then go to the next slide.

Be prepared to write about what you learned from these videos.

•Post a reply in Seesaw to list an example of one solid and one liquid. How do you classify something as a solid? How do you classify something as a liquid?
•Seesaw link https://app.seesaw.me/#/class/class.bb121871-8c1d-4808-bfe7-de623a243dcf

Research http://primaryschoolict.com/ to find out how a solid could turn into a liquid and design your own experiment. (PBL)

Use the iPad to share the experiment you designed by filming it in action and explaining the steps of the experiment and what the end result was. This is your assessment.
Pictured here is the post you will be replying to: 

This will be graded using a rubric.

Your score will be based on meeting the rubric requirements as well as the signed checklist that will be submitted.  

Excellent work!

You have learned how to classify matter using its properties: solids and liquids.

A solid could be a door because it cannot change its shape.

A liquid could be paint because it takes the shape of the container it is in.

Sign your completed checklist and turn it in!
