Exploring Physical Properties and States of Matter in Everyday Objects

This interactive lesson focuses on measuring and observing matter. Students will pick an object from the room and list three of its physical properties. They will analyze sentences related to scientific terms like "balance," "condensation," and "evaporation," identifying correct usage. The lesson also addresses the states of matter, discussing examples of solids, liquids, and gases, and explaining phenomena such as shadows and the drying process of a wet towel. The unit promotes critical thinking and scientific understanding.

  1. Question of the Day Unit 1-Measuring and Observing Matter

  2. Pick an object in the room. List 3 physical properties of the object.

  3. Read these 3 sentences carefully. Which sentence(s) has the science word used correctly? • I used the BALANCE to find out the rock was 18 centimeters long. • A BALANCE is a tool used to find the mass of an object. • The BALANCE of the plant is the part that is underground.

  4. Name 3 solids, 3 liquids, and 2 gases.

  5. What happens to the liquid in a thermometer? When it gets colder? Why don’t we use water in a thermometer?

  6. The first clocks, called sundials, used shadows to tell time. Why does the shadow change positions?

  7. Read these 3 sentences carefully. Choose the sentence where the science word is used correctly. • CONDENSATION happens when the windows of a car get foggy. • EVAPORATION changes a liquid to a gas. • All the water boiled away. This is an example of CONDENSATION.

  8. Is a shadow matter? Why or why not? What two things are needed for a shadow to occur?

  9. Explain how and why a wet towel dries.

  10. Write YES or NO next to each word if it describes water changing states. If YES, write GAS, LIQUID, or SOLID on each line after the word. Yes/No From To freezing _________ _______________ _______________ condensing _________ _______________ _______________ pouring _________ _______________ _______________ boiling _________ _______________ _______________

  11. Which words are the 3 states of matter. solid, evaporation, boiling, liquid, burning, gas

  12. What is wrong with what your friend Phil said? Rewrite the sentence to make it correct. When the water in the jar became hot, it started boiling and froze, forming ice.
