States of Matter Drama, Music, Visual Art, Dance

State Standards & Objetives (USOE/UEN):
Standard 6.2.2 Develop a model to predict the
effect of heat energy on states of matter
and density. Emphasize the arrangement of
particles in states of matter
(solid, liquid, or gas) and during phase
changes (melting, freezing, condensing,
and evaporating).

Learning Outcomes: Learning Outcomes:

The student will be able to... The student will be able to...
understand and describe what is happening Demonstrate their knowledge of states of matter 
with atoms and molecules in different through Tableau in drama, analyzing patterns in
temperature states. music, creative representations of the states of matter
in visual arts, and perform states of matter in dance.

Lesson Plan

Learning Objectives:
Students will be able to understand and describe what is happening with atoms
and molecules in different temperature states.

Assessment:
Visual art piece and reflection.

Materials Needed: Lesson Sequence:

Computers with internet
access to "Pioneer" to find
music
Paper and pencils/pens
* Divide the students into small groups. 6+ groups- Assign each group a
state of matter. Have them perform a Tableau on their state of matter. 
* In a large space show students state of matter cards-have them find a
safe space and act out the state of matter.  Once each state of matter has
been acted out discuss the elements of dance that can be used to
represent each state. Have them move through the space and call out
different states of matter for them to move to. 

* Using "Pioneer" have the students look through the music library and
find pieces that they feel best represents each state of matter. Discuss
Tempo, pitch, speed, etc. 

*Now using the music that students found have the students draw
continuous line/pattern that they see through the music. Do it for each
state of matter. 
   *Have students put their artwork around the room under the correct
state of matter. Gas, Liquid, Solid. Now have the students do a museum
walk and analyze the the patterns, flow and similarities amongst the
pieces.  Have the students find a partner and discuss what they noticed
about the art pieces.
