Lesson Plan 1

The lesson plan outline provides details for a 3rd grade physical science lesson on matter. The lesson objectives are for students to learn that matter takes up space and has weight, and to identify solids, liquids and gases. The lesson involves a hands-on experiment where students investigate if a gas has weight by comparing two quantities and observing differences. Resources include a PowerPoint, video, computer, worksheet, balloons, tape, string and rulers. The lesson includes an anticipatory set, teaching strategies, procedures for the experiment, a video, and post-lab discussion. Assessment is through collecting worksheets. Accommodations address different learning levels through premade experiments, lab set up help, and guiding deeper thinking.

LESSON PLAN OUTLINE

Candidate Name: __Suzette Fox_____________ Lesson Topic: __Physical Science__

Date of Lesson: ____2/13_________________ Grade Level: ____3rd___________

Decision and Planning Sequence:

1. Science standard:
a. 3.PS.1 Physical Science: Matter and Forms of Energy
1. All Objects and substances in the natural world are composed of matter.
b. Science Inquiry and Application Grade 3:
Plan and conduct simple investigations; employ simple equipment and tools to gather
data and extend the senses; communicate about observations, investigations and
explanations; review and ask questions about the observations and explanations of others.
2. Lesson Objectives
a. Students will learn that matter takes up space and has weight.
b. I can tell what a solid, gas and liquid is and that they take up space.
3. Prior Knowledge
Students may know some of the basic concepts of matter but we will discuss this as a group.
4. Blooms or DOK Level
During this lesson, students will investigate if a gas has weight through an experiment.
(Create) They will compare two quantities and observe differences. (Analyze) They will
discuss their findings. (Apply)
5. Gardners Multiple Intelligences
Logical recording observations
Kinesthetic performing the experiment
Interpersonal discussing the outcome of the experiment
Linguistic reporting conclusions
6. Body of the Lesson
a. Anticipatory set: Power Point slide show about matter
b. Teaching strategies: lecture, discussion, demonstration, guided discovery
c. Procedures How will you implement this lesson step by step?
Resources: Power Point slide show, video, computer, worksheet to
record findings, pencils, rulers, balloons, tape, string
Present Power Point presentation on matter
Discuss vocabulary
Discuss experiment
Pass out supplies
Conduct experiment: Walk students through process (question,
hypothesis, procedure, observation, conclusion)
Watch video: Whats Matter? Crash Course
d. Lesson closure: Post lab discussion
e. Assessment: collect worksheets to check student understanding

7. Accommodations/Differentiation
LESSON PLAN OUTLINE

(Strategies to help address different learning levels: strategies, materials, assessment) Be


sure to address justification for the reason you recognize a need to differentiate.
Some Most Few

Premade experiment Help with lab set up Guide them to deeper thinking

Reflection:
Intentional Decision Making: I believe I was intentional in deciding how the unit would fit
together and how each lesson is similar in design. Each lesson includes the scientific method
so that students get familiar with the process.

Enthusiasm: I believe I was enthusiastic about the lesson and displayed excitement about
performing the experiment with the students.

Communication Skills: It is important to me to move around the room to engage all students.
I use lots of gestures, in particular for this lesson, we used our hands to represent molecules
and their movements. I feel like I engage students and draw them into the activity.

Transition to the Next Activity: By using the power point presentation, I feel that transitions
went smoothly.

Addresses different levels of students: I moved around throughout the classroom aiding any
student groups that needed assistance with their experiments.

Use of Technology: I did use the computer to present a slide show and also we watched a
video on Youtube regarding matter.

Anticipated Difficulties/Effective Use of Time: I feel that I accomplished some time savings
by precutting the string they needed for the experiment. Next time, perhaps I could employ
some students to help in passing out the materials so they are distributed quicker. I did make
sure everyone had enough supplies for their group.

Something I learned: we used tape to adhere the balloons on the ends of each ruler. Students
were to tie the string around the middle of the ruler to create a scale. One student suggested
that they use the tape to the string in the middle so that it would not slide. (some students
could not get the string tight enough) I thought this was a good idea and told him so. I would
use this idea the next time I lead this experiment.
