Task Analysis: (C4) What lang. must be taught: Properties of Matter Strategy to teach Language: (C4)

What skills must be taught: Frayer Model, Word Wall, Word Games, and
Personal Dictionary
Measuring, testing, and recording of physical properties of matter

Assessment: (C5) Baseline Assessment, Embedded Assessment, and Performance Task

Strategies for Success: (C6) Element of Technology: (C6)

Concept Map on examples of solids, liquid, and gases; Interactive Whiteboard
Venn Diagram to compare; 5 Fingers Strategy

Learning Styles Addressed: (C6) Resources / Materials needed: (C6)

Visual – Pictures of different types of matters Definitions of the different properties of matters, such as
power point with pictures; Word Wall cards for activity
Auditory – Telling the differences of matter about properties of matter; Foldable worksheet for
students to create; rock, container, and water
Kinesethic –
Letting a rock sink in water (hands-on)

Higher Order Questions to ask: (C6)

1. What can you tell me about the physical properties of matter?

2. What happens when you place a rock in a container filled with water? Explain.
3.
What is the difference between the physical properties of solid, liquid, and gas of matter? Compare.

Hook: (C7) Drawing Closure: (C7) 3-2-1

 1. Teacher Input / Direct Instruction / Modeling: (C6)

- PowerPoint slide show with pictures of the different physical properties of matter with examples of
solids, liquids, and gases.
- Introduction of an example how to create a foldable worksheet about the different properties of
matter and how to let a rock sink in a container filled with water.

2. Student Activities / Guided Practice: (C6)

- The students will group up and demonstrate what happens to the rock inside the water container
and record the outcome.

3. Independent Practice: (C6)

- The students will create a foldable worksheet with examples of solids, liquids, and gases.

Modifications / Accommodations: (E6) Comprehensible Input Techniques: (R9)

- I will read the properties of matter introduction to the

student and point to the pictures.
- I will give the student individual assistance to complete
the freyer model.
- The student will observe the lab activity instead of
doing the activity while the peers of the group will
explain what happens to the student.
- I will ask the student only one of the three higher order
questions, instead of three questions.
