Academic Language:
1) Solids: Objects made up of matter that have a
definite and unchanging shape
2) Liquids: made up of matter and have their own
shape which can flow and change, and fit the shape
of whatever container it is in
Procedural steps:
1) Teacher will read the book Observing Matter to
students, stopping periodically to ask students
questions that will ensure that they are following
along and understanding the concepts
2) Teacher will then open a discussion about liquids and
solids, asking students why they are different, asking
them to name some objects at home or in the
classroom that are solids or liquids, or holding
up/passing around items such as a glass of water
and a bouncy ball to show examples of the two
3) The teacher will then call each student individually by
name and instruct them to move to their small group
tables
4) Working with children in small groups, teacher will
provide a board divided into two sections, labeled
Liquids and Solids, as well as about 20 colorful
flashcards that are labeled with pictures and titles of
various every day objects that fall into either category
