Olaf and the States of Matter

Integration Plan
Grade level: 4th Grade
Time: 30-45 minutes
Lesson Design: Ellyse Verdev

Overview:
Students will use the song In Summer from the Disney animated
movie Frozen to explore the different states of matter.

Objectives:
1. Students will improve listening skills by identifying lyrics in the
song
2. Students will learn to differentiate between the different states of matter
3. Students will properly identify the different states of matter when presented to them

Materials:
In Summer video from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFatVn1hP3o
Paper cards illustrating the different states of matter (Solid, Liquid, Gas)

Activities/Procedure:
1. Begin the lesson by discussing with students the different states of matter. Give them the
definition of matter as something that takes up space or something that exists physically. Ask
them to list different examples of matter. Make sure to clarify any confusion on the subject.

2. Inform students that there are three distinct types of matter: solids, liquids, and gases. Ask them
for examples of each. Address any confusion on the subject, and give the definitions of them as
When a solid is warmed to its melting point, it melts into a liquid...when a liquid is heated to its
evaporating point, it evaporates into a gas...when a liquid is cooled to its freezing point, it freezes
into a solid...when a gas is cooled to its condensation point, it turns back into a liquid etc.
3. Introduce the video from Frozen. Most students will be familiar with the film because of its
popularity, but give a brief overview of the plot surrounding the song if there are any students that
are unfamiliar with it.
4. Have students watch the video, and tell them to watch for any examples of the different types of
matter, including solids, liquids, and gases.
5. When the video is finished, hand out the paper cards to the students. Make sure each of them has
one card for each state. Play the video again, but this time have students hold up the
corresponding card whenever they see or hear a state of matter.
6. Finally, have a recap of the video. Discuss with students what they saw in the video and any
connections they made. Ask them what was wrong with Olafs idea of what frozen things do in
summer? Why is it silly? If they cant figure it out, ask them what happens to popsicles or ice
cream in summer. Be sure to inform them that solids, liquids, and gases do not only come as ice,
water, and steam, but many different kinds.
