Plan and conduct an investigation to describe and classify different kinds of materials by their observable
properties.

Make observations and measurements to identify materials based on their properties.]]> 2019-09-05 14:12:12 UTC https://padlet.com/es31/4er51f9u6pa3/wish/380420095 1. How much of the topic is taught at each level? In how much depth is it addressed? tiffmontes164 https://padlet.com/es31/4er51f9u6pa3/wish/380424083 2nd Grade
    • Basic observations such as the color and hardness. 
    • Thing that students can see see or touch
    • Students do not go very far into this topic and only look at the characteristics they can see 
    • Visual learning.
    • Not much depth
5th Grade
    • Deeper observations about different materials that have the ability to change their characteristics.
    • More hands on experiential learning.
    • Topics that students need to investigate to learn 
    • Students go into a lot more in depth with their work but they do not touch on topics such as density and the difference between mass and weight

If so, how should those components be sequenced? What topics might need to precede and follow your topic at each level? tiffmontes164 https://padlet.com/es31/4er51f9u6pa3/wish/380424279 2nd grade
    • Students will be able to identify visible components about matter in front of them
    • Students understand that there are multiple states of matter
    • Students can classify objects by their characteristics on a basic level
    • In the next grade students should be able to distinguish how objects and if objects can move through the different states of matter.
5th grade: 
  • Understanding that magnetic/electric energy exists
  • Students can understand properties that they can see with their eyes or any of their basic senses
  • Students have a better basis of how objects switch between their state of matter through heating, cooling, or dissolving
  • In future lessons, students will look deeper into objects and the particles they are not able to see
  • In future years students will gain an understanding of density

Matter can be described and classified by its observable properties. (2-PS1-1) ]]> 2019-09-05 14:19:05 UTC https://padlet.com/es31/4er51f9u6pa3/wish/380424428 3. What kinds of activities would you use to support your topic at each level? (They might be similar, but they should be different.) Briefly describe the activities in enough detail that a reader could understand what is expected in the activities, discern the similarities, and clearly understand the differences. tiffmontes164 https://padlet.com/es31/4er51f9u6pa3/wish/380424432 2nd grade:
5th grade:
  •  How fast it takes for salt to dissolve into a cup of cold water vs. warm water
    • Look at the fact that salt is a solid and water is a liquid
    • What are the relationships between solid and liquid and gas 
    • Learning why salt dissolves in water
5th Grade dissolving salt activity 
5th Grade Ice Cube Demonstration

For example, what developmental changes take place between K/1/2 and 3/4/5 that would have an impact on what you teach and how you teach it? tiffmontes164 https://padlet.com/es31/4er51f9u6pa3/wish/380424565
  • At a fifth grade level, students have more critical thinking skills allowing them to think deeper and more abstractly about things.
  • Students at the second grade level have a harder time thinking about something that they can’t see in front of them.

  • We would modify the instruction if students weren’t proficient in the topic of Structure and Property (have fallen behind standards) 
  • Look at the previous standards that this spiraled off of- this way you know what students should know and can review with them if they do not 
  • Start introducing things for the next standard that it branched out to and challenge some students

  • Knowing students have been learning certain topics throughout years 
  • Knowing if you are at a younger grade level that you are creating the building blocks for future lessons
  • It allows teachers to understand what their students have learned throughout the years which allows them to teach the topic more in depth
