ASSESSMENT |
|
1. |
SOLIDS |
|
• Solids are one state of matter.
• Solid materials have properties
that separate them from other
states of matter.
• Solids can be sorted by their
properties.
• Solid materials have distinct uses,
based on their properties. |
• FOSS Science Resources: Solids
and Liquids, “Everything
Matters”
• Science Notebook: Students
draw and write about solids.
They draw and label their tower constructions.
|
Preassessment (optional)
Teacher Observation/Notebook Sheet
• Identifies properties of solid
objects and sorts objects based on
a property.
• Compares different solids.
• Identifies properties of a solid
used for specific purposes in
construction.
|
|
|
2. |
LIQUIDS |
|
• Liquids are one state of matter.
• Liquids have many properties.
• Liquids pour and flow.
• Liquids take the shape of their
container.
• The surface of liquid is level with
respect to the ground. |
• FOSS Science Resources: Solids and
Liquids, “Solids and Liquids”
• Science Notebook: Students draw
and write about liquids and their
properties. They use prepared
sheets to record observations and
respond to writing prompts. They
make a bar graph indicating the
number of vials of water it takes
to fill four different containers.
|
Teacher Observation/Notebook Sheet
• Describes observations.
• Uses new vocabulary accurately.
• Draws liquids taking the shape of
their container.
• Observes that the liquid surface
remains level as the bottle tips.
|
|
3. |
BITS AND PIECES |
|
• Solid materials come in all sizes
and shapes.
• Particles of solid materials can
pour like liquids, but maintain
their shape.
• Solid materials can support denser
materials on their surface.
• Mixtures of solid particles can be
separated with a screen. |
• Science Notebook: Students draw
and write about small solids and
their properties. They record
which screen is used to separate
each material.
|
Teacher Observation/Notebook Sheet
• Compares properties of solids
and liquids.
• Chooses screens of appropriate
size to separate solids.
|
|
4. |
SOLIDS AND LIQUIDS WITH WATER |
|
• Some solids change when mixed
with water; others do not.
• Some solids dissolve in water;
evaporation leaves the solid
behind.
• Some liquids mix with water;
other liquids form a layer above
or below water.
• Heating and cooling solids and
liquids can change them from one
state to another. |
• FOSS Science Resources: Solids and
Liquids, “Mix It Up!” and “Solids
to Liquids and Back Again”
• Science Notebook: Students
record the results of mixing solids
and liquids with water. They
make a bar graph of the results. |
Teacher Observation/Notebook Sheet
• Accurately records observations.
• Supports opinions with evidence.
