ELEMENTARY SCHOOL LESSON PLAN

(Adapted from Madeline Hunters Research)

Student Name: Vanessa Lisi Date: Tuesday, January 24th, 2017 Age Group: Age 7
Grade: 2
Unit/Subject: Science: Solid and Liquid
Materials:
(List the materials needed for this lesson)
Objectives:
(What the students should
learn/accomplish/master/understand as a
result of the lesson)
Anticipatory Set:
(In what way will you activate their prior
knowledge and experience to help them
relate to todays lesson?)
Teaching:
(Step by step discussion for how the lesson
will be taught)
Instructional Input:
What knowledge will you communicate to
the students so that they understand the
objective of the lesson (film, tape, video,
pictures, etc)
Guided Practice:
What activities will the students perform
under your supervision to ensure that they
are able to practice the material/concepts
taught in the lesson?
How will you support students when errors
are made?
Modeling:
How will you demonstrate the skill or
Tea kettle
Jar of ice
Cup of water
Blow dryer
Crayon
Piece of construction paper
The students will gain knowledge and understanding of what a solid, liquid,
and gas is through first hand experience/ demonstration.
The students will enhance their scientific understanding of the changing states
of matter.
The students will develop upon creating predictions as to what may happen to
each state of matter.
The students already know what a solid, liquid, and gases are.
Using this knowledge of the three states of matter, the students will now begin
to examine how these states of matter change from one state to the other.
Instructional Input
I will demonstrate how each state of matter changes by doing a group
experiment with the class.
Having students sitting in a circle on the carpet
First I will show the students how a solid turns into a liquid. For this I need a
cup of ice and a blow dryer. I will apply heat to the ice and watch with the
students as the ice turns into a liquid.
Then I will show the students how a liquid turns into a gas. I will fill up a
teakettle with water and turn it on. The students will see gas coming through
the lip of the kettle.
I will also show how a solid turns into a broker solid by asking a student to
brake a crazy in half and asking another student to rip a piece of paper.
Guided Practice
The students may help me when it comes to turning a solid into a broken solid.
The students will mainly observe and answer prompting questions.
