September - Properties of Matter / Earth Systems

# data[].attributes.body
DOK: DOK 4 (Creating/Design)
NGSS Standard:5-PS1-1. | Develop a model to describe that matter is made of particles too small to be seen.
Brief Overview:Adding air to expand a basketball, compressing air in a syringe, dissolving sugar in water, and evaporating salt water.

Phenomenon & CSC Water Samples

Brief Description: Sewage water is consumed by people, but they do not get sick. How does that happen? Students are introduced to 4 water samples that have been gathered from the California Science Center. The students are asked to develop models to describe what they see in the water samples (jars). The Science Center hires the students as environmental engineers to find out what is in the water and tell the Science Center how to clean it.

Date for lesson: September 15
Room 26 - 8:15-9:15 am
Room 27 - 9:30-10:30 am
Room 28 - 11:30 am-12:30 pm

DOK-DOK 4 (Analyze, Develop)
NGSS: 5-ESS2-1. | Develop a model using an example to describe ways the geosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and/or atmosphere interact.
Brief overview: Describe the influence of the ocean on ecosystems, landform shape, and climate; the influence of the atmosphere on landforms and ecosystems through weather and climate; and the influence of mountain ranges on winds and clouds in the atmosphere

Models of CSC Water Samples

Brief Description: Students create large scale models of the  4 water sample jars and revise their models based on new information about possible contaminants (e.g. sand, salt, sugar, iron filings).

Date for lesson: October 20, 2022
Room 26 - 8:15-9:15 am
Room 27 - 9:30-10:30 am
Room 28 - 11:30 am-12:30 pm

DOK: DOK 4 (Connect,Analyze) DOK 3 (Assessing, Drawing Conclusions)
NGSS Standard: 5-PS1-3. | Make observations and measurements to identify materials based on their properties.
Brief Overview:Materials to be identified could include baking soda and other powders, metals, minerals, and liquids. Examples of properties could include color, hardness, reflectivity, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, response to magnetic forces, and solubility; density is not intended as an identifiable property

Finding Impurities in Water

Brief Description: Students identify the presence of contaminants. They read to reinforce the idea that particles that are too small to be seen still exist in the water. They continue to revise their models of the jars and create new ones to explain their understanding.

Date for lesson: November 17, 2022
Room 26 - 8:15-9:15 am
Room 27 - 9:30-10:30 am
Room 28 - 11:30 am-12:30 pm

Properties of Matter (Part 1)

Brief Description: Students explore matter and its properties and discover that matter can be identified and grouped by its properties. Properties include size, shape, color, weight and magnetism.

Properties of Water (Part 2)

Brief Description: Students explore what happens when you mix water and other substances. They learn that some substance are soluble in water and this property can be useful in solving problems such as separating matter into categories.
