- Within:
Review Motivation:
Engaging Activity 1 - Storytelling about different materials and their unique properties
Instructions -
1) Present the materials to students and ask them to group them based on
properties (color, texture, flexibility, etc.)
Rubric
Assessment Questions:
1) How did you decide which materials belonged in the same group?
3) Can you think of any real-life examples where materials are grouped this way?
Instructions -
1) Students will feel the materials inside the boxes without seeing them and describe
their properties to guess what they are
2) Students will discuss their guesses and reasoning with their peers
3) Students will reveal the materials and compare their guesses with the actual
properties
Rubric
Assessment Questions:
1) How did you use your sense of touch to identify the mystery materials?
3) How did discussing with your peers help in identifying the materials?
Materials - None
Instructions -
1) Students will explore their environment and identify different materials based on
their properties
2) Students will record their findings and share them with the class
Rubric
Assessment Questions:
1) What properties did you observe in the materials you found during the scavenger
hunt?
2) How did the scavenger hunt help you understand the properties of different
materials?
ANALYSIS:
Activity 3 - Students actively engaged in hands-on learning and shared their findings
with peers.
ABSTRACTION:
Students understand that materials can be grouped based on their properties, such
as color, texture, and flexibility, to help categorize and organize them effectively. By
recognizing patterns and rules in material properties, students can deepen their
understanding and apply this knowledge in various contexts.
APPLICATION:
Task 1 - Students will create a poster showcasing different materials and their
properties, explaining how they are grouped.
Task 2 - Students will conduct a simple science experiment to test the properties of
different materials and record their observations.
ASSESSMENT:
Question 3 - Can you think of a real-life situation where grouping materials based on
properties is essential?
H.O.T.S.:
Question 1 - Explain how you would design an experiment to test the properties of
unknown materials.
Answer 1 - This question assesses the student's ability to formulate a hypothesis and
design a scientific investigation.
Question 2 - Compare and contrast the properties of two different materials and
explain their significance in everyday life.
Answer 2 - This question evaluates the student's analytical thinking and ability to
apply material properties to practical situations.
Question 3 - Predict how the properties of a material can affect its uses in various
industries and provide examples.
Answer 3 - This question tests the student's critical thinking skills in linking material
properties to real-world applications.
Assignment:
1) Design a sorting game using everyday objects to teach younger students about
material properties.
2) Write a short story where the characters must use their knowledge of material
properties to solve a problem.
