Activities
Monday
1. Students will observe two beakers or glass
jars filled with warm water. One jar
will be uncovered while the other jar will be covered. Students should observe that the jar with
the cover collects tiny droplets of water all over the inside. Also, students should observe and discuss
what happens in the jar with no cover.
The following questions will be asked to check for comprehension:
What happens to the water as it gets hot?
Will all the water in the uncovered jar disappear?
What about the water in the covered jar? Why?
2. Students will look in their text book and
at the Poster Book. Both books show
pictures of water and the concept of evaporation. Students will answer the questions in the poster book in their S
notebook.
Tuesday
1. Students will observe the pitcher of ice
and the bowl of warm water. Students
will list the things they notice about each.
As students observe, the student teacher will hold the pitcher of ice
over the bowl of water. Students will
be able to see the steam from the warm water collecting on the pitcher of ice
as water drops.
2. In small groups, students will receive a
plastic cup filled with water. Students
will note the water’s temperature and the cup’s appearance. Students will use page D35 to predict what
might happen to the outside of the cup when ice is added to the water. The student teacher will add ice to each
cup. Students will observe their cups
and record changes on page D35.
3. Students will complete page D51 to assess
the concepts of condensation and evaporation.
Wednesday
1. Using the picture cards, the student
teacher will initiate discussion of what happens to liquids when heat is
removed (or added) to them. Two
examples (on the picture cards) are molten bronze and raw egg. The student teacher will pose questions to
help the children conclude that when heat is removed from (the bronze or water)
or added to (raw egg or cake batter) certain liquids, the liquids become solid.
2. Students will observe the poster
book. The questions below the pictures
will be answered in their S notebook to assess their understanding.
Thursday EARLY DISMISSAL
1. Time allowing, students will sort groups
of solids, liquids, and gases by their properties. Students will also be asked to reach into a paper bag and
identify the two objects contained in it (a baggy of play-doh and a baggy of
water) using their knowledge of the properties of solids, liquids, and gases.
Friday
1. Students will complete the Unit Test on
solids, liquids, and gases.
