=Safety, Tools, States of Matter, Properties=

Student Objectives:

 * **H 3.2(A) The student will explain the need for obeying safety rules at home, school, work, and play such as bike safety and avoidance of weapons.**
 * **S 3.1(A) The student will demonstrate safe practices during field and laboratory investigations**
 * **S 3.4(A) The student will collect and analyze information using tools including safety goggles, thermometers, magnets, and balances.**
 * **S 3.7(B) The student will identify matter as liquids, solids, and gases.**
 * **S 3.7(A) The student will use the scientific method in planning and implementing a descriptive investigation to identify physical properties of matter using appropriate tools to determine temperature, magnetism, hardness, and mass.**

Guided Practice Day 1

 * 1) Have students answer the following questions. What are the three states of matter? What are the characteristics of water in each of these three states?
 * 2) View the segment "The states of water" from "[|TLC Elementary School: Introduction to Physical Science]"
 * 3) Return to the questions and make revisions in the answers.
 * 4) Teacher will ask students if you were communicating with an alien from Raxacoricofallapatorius, who had seen water but never seen steam, condensation, or ice. How would you describe these concepts to the alien?
 * 5) Create individual circle Map for Steam, condensation, and ice

Guided Practice Day 2

 * 1) Student's review the circle maps they created the last class
 * 2) Design demonstrations that show how to measure temperatures and proper safety measures

Guided Practice Day 3

 * 1) Students will perform the demonstrations and film them to send to their friends on Raxacoricofallapatorius.
