2. The student teacher will supply a given selection of liquids. Students will discuss one method of sorting the liquids (by color, texture, amount). Student will then draw another method of sorting the liquids on a half sheet of paper. Students will write a sentence describing their method of sorting.
Thursday
1. Students will record their observations of an empty balloon. The student teacher will blow up the balloon and pinch the end. Students will record their new observations. Students and student teacher will discuss the observations. Questions like, “How has the balloon changed?” and “What is inside the balloon?” will be asked.

What did you feel?
What did the air look like?
What did the air smell like?
3. After the volunteers have returned to their seats, students will discuss the properties of air they have observed. A last question, “What shape is a gas like air?” will be posed. To check for comprehension, students will complete page D43 in their science packet.
4. Time allowing, students
will gather on the rug while the student teacher reads Air is All Around You.
Friday
1. In small groups, students will record their observations about a large bowl of ice cubes. Students will use page D35 to record their predictions about what will happen to the ice over a period of time.
2. After making their predictions, students will move to the rug. Students will listen attentively as the student teacher reads Emmett’s Snowball. Students will participate in a discussion about the story.
3. Upon returning to their seats, students will observe the bowl of ice cubes. Students will record on D35 what actually happened in the bowl.
4. To check for
comprehension, the student teacher will show the class a page in the Poster
Book. Students should be able to
predict with accuracy what will happen to the popsicles in the picture. Each student will write their prediction in
their S notebook. The predictions will
be checked for understanding and accuracy.
