9/14/12 and 9/17/12

Date: 9/14/2012 and 9/17/2012

Class: Physical Science

Periods: B2,3 and W1,3,4

Outcomes: Definitions of solids, liquids and gases

Standards: UCP:1-3,5; A.1,2; B.2,5,6; G.3

Student Needs: 

Assessment Plan: Questions 1-6 on pg. 483

Lesson Outline: Review SM and 4 parts of an experiment > tell students all matter is composed of particles that are always moving, even the most solid of objects > Give directions for reading Ch. 16 Sec. 1 > Read first paragraph then choose someone else to read > finish reading Sec. 1 > Students will make vocab flash cards (visually check to make sure everyone has finished) > Assign questions 1-6 on pg. 483 to be completed individually in a pages document and uploaded to schoology.com under Assignments - Ch. 16 Sec 1 ?s 1-6 by next class > Ticket to Leave - "What is the difference between liquids and gases at a molecular level?" done on a notecard and handed to teacher on their way out the door

Review: Ask students what the steps of the scientific method are, and what the 4 parts of an experiment are.

Anticipatory Set/Opening: All particles move, their movements determine state.

Key Points: Solids have a definite shape and volume with slow moving particles, liquids have definite volume but not shape and their particles move faster and slide across each other, gases don’t have definite volume or shape and their particles are the fastest and bounce off each other.

Teaching Input: Read Chapter 16 Section 1 pages 476-483 as a class, one person reads one paragraph, either do popcorn or just pick readers at random. Have students write down vocab words on notecards with definitions on the back. Assign questions 1-6 on pg. 483 to be completed individually and uploaded to schoology.com by next time.

Modeling: Read the first paragraph then choose the next reader.

Checking for Understanding: Have students repeat directions.

Guided Practice/Monitoring: Reading and vocab.

Closure: Ticket to Leave - Before they leave, have students write down what the difference is between liquids and gases to be turned in on their way out.

Independent Practice: Questions 1-6.
