Lesson Content
What Standards (national
or state) relate to this
lesson?
(You should include ALL
applicable standards. Rarely
do teachers use just one:
theyd never get through
them all.)
Objectives- What are you
teaching?
(Student-centered: What will
students know and be able to
do after this lesson? Include
the ABCDs of objectives:
action, behavior, condition,
and degree of mastery, i.e.,
"C: Given a sentence written
in the past or present tense,
A: the student B: will be able
to re-write the sentence in
future tense D: with no errors
in tense or tense contradiction
(i.e., I will see her
yesterday.)."
Note: Degree of mastery does
not need to be a percentage.)
Evaluation Plan- How will
you know students have
mastered your objectives?

SC.5.P.8.1
Compare and contrast the basic properties of solids, liquids, and gases, such as mass,
volume, color, texture, and temperature.
LAFS.5.RI.1.3
Explain the relationships or interactions between two or more individuals, events, ideas, or
concepts in a historical, scientific, or technical text based on specific information in the text

Students will be able to understand how to properly measure mass of various objects.

The teacher will constantly walk around during the lesson, observing the students and
answering all their question. Also, the teacher will ask students critical-thinking questions to
monitor their understanding of the task and subject. Students will complete a KWL chart that
they will turn in so the teacher can account for their personal knowledge of the subject.

Address the following:

What formative evidence
will you use to document
student learning during
this lesson?
What summative evidence
will you collect, either
during this lesson or in
upcoming lessons?

Step-by-Step Plan
(What exactly do you plan to
do in teaching this lesson? Be
thorough. Act as if you needed
a substitute to carry out the
lesson for you.)

Students?

1min

Teacher

Two worksheets will be distributed to all the students at their desk

and five objects (paper clip, pencil, cup of water, apple and a
balloon with air) will be at each table group.

Where applicable, be sure to

address the following:
How will materials be
distributed?
How will students
transition between
activities?
What will you as the
teacher do?
What will the students do?
What student data will be
collected during each
phase?

3min

Students

Students will then be asked to observe the materials in front of

them, to look at their different properties (color, shape, size and
take a guess at the weight)

3min

Students

2min

Whole group

After all our new scientist have had a chance to explore the
materials they will be asked to complete the 2 charts that are
already at their desks, individually. (One, a KWL chart, where they
will complete the K- what they know, section. The second, a
Properties chart, they will complete the properties they noticed
about each material and rank them from the heaviest to lightest.
We will come back together as a whole group and we will watch a
BrainPOP video about mass.

After the video, students will complete the W- what do I want to

learn, on the KWL chart.

Students

Once completed, they will share with their shoulder partners some
of the ideas they came up with.

Students will break into 4 groups of five by table and asked to join
one of the table groups with the materials

permits

Then the students will work in their groups to weigh the mass of
objects using a balance and completing the rest of the Properties
chart, which asks them to fill in the mass of each object and
compare to their initial hypothesis.
Upon completion, students will discuss with their group some of
their findings, something they learned, or something they thought
was interesting.
After the group work, students will complete the L- what I learned
portion of the KWL chart.
We will then clean up our materials and if students want to share
their work they can to the class.

Science has been said to be a male dominant field of study. If all students are exposed at
early ages, using hands-on experiences, science could become more of an interest for a
diverse group of individuals.
Not sure. Discuss during preconference.

I chose to use the KWL chart as an assessment because students wont have to feel the
pressure of a quiz or test. It is also a great way to hold students accountable for their own
learning as they can visually see what they have done. This can also serve as a guide and
motivation for students, which, stated by Bohlin, Durwin, and Reese-Weber is a great way of
collecting data for assessments (2012)
