OPENING :

ELICIT
OPTIONS:
Opening Your Lesson (10 minutes)
Begin the lesson by assessing students' prerequisite and prior knowledge.

Prerequisite Knowledge

Definition of matter

Physical and chemical properties of matter

Physical and chemical changes of matter

Teacher Background
Accessing Prior Knowledge
Ask: What is matter? Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space.
Ask: What are some examples of physical properties of matter? Sample answer: mass,
density, color, shape, texture, boiling point, state
Ask: What happens to substances that undergo a chemical change? Sample answer:
they change to form new substances with new properties.

ENGAGE
OPTIONS:
Activities and Discussion

Activity Classifying Matter (25 minutes) Concept Map support

Activity Changing Properties (15 minutes)

Have pairs of students measure a spoonful of baking soda into a small paper cup. Have
them observe and record the properties of the baking soda. Then have them observe
some vinegar and record its properties. TESOL students to add a spoonful of vinegar to
the baking soda and record their observations. Finally, have students compare their
observations of the baking soda and the vinegar with their observations of the material
left in the cup.Ask: Do you think this matter is the same as the matter you began
with? Why? No, a new kind of matter has formed with new properties.

OPTIONS:
Differentiated Instruction
Basic Comparing Substances
Elements, Compounds, and Mixtures (15 minutes)
Two-Column Chart Have students create a Two-Column Chart. On the left, have them
write elements, compounds, and mixtures. On the right, they should describe each
substance and give one or more examples.
Advanced Picture It
Types of Matter (20 minutes)
Multimedia Presentation Have pairs of students use computer software to create a
presentation describing how atoms combine to produce elements, compounds, or
mixtures.
ELL Visual Vocabulary
Substances (15 minutes)
Have students write each vocabulary word on an index card or in their journal: atom,
element, compound, mixture. Under each term, have them write a definition of the
term in their own words. On the back of each card, have students draw an illustration
that helps them remember each term.

LESSON CLOSURE :

EXTEND
OPTIONS:
Choose one more of the following activities to reinforce the concepts students learned
in this lesson.

Activity Modeling Matter (30 minutes)
Make a Model

ASSESSMENT :

1.

Provide each student with three colors of construction paper.

2.

Instruct students to cut several circles from each color of construction paper.
Explain that each different color represents atoms of a different type of
element.

3.

Ask students to make a model of an element. Guide students in placing

several atoms of the same type near each other to model an element.

4.

Ask students to make a model of a compound. Guide them in combining two

or more different types of atoms together to model a molecule. Then have
them make several other molecules that are the same. Students may need to
cut out additional circles from the construction paper. Explain that there are
numerous types of molecules. Each type contains different combinations of
atoms. Make sure students realize, however, that all molecules of a compound
are alike.

5.

Ask students how they can make a model of a mixture. Guide students in
placing several types of molecules near each other to model a mixture.

Florida Sunshine State Standards

Big Idea 1: The Practice of Science

Benchmark SC.8.N.1.1 Define a problem from the eighth grade

curriculum using appropriate reference materials to support scientific
understanding, plan and carry out scientific investigations of various
types, such as systematic observations or experiments, identify
variables, collect and organize data, interpret data in charts, tables,
and graphics, analyze information, make predictions, and defend
conclusions.

Big Idea 3: The Role of Theories, Laws, Hypotheses, and Models: The terms
that describe examples of scientific knowledge, for example; "theory," "law,"
"hypothesis," and "model" have very specific meanings and functions within
science.

Benchmark SC.8.N.3.1 Select models useful in relating the results of

their own investigations.

Big Idea 8: Properties of Matter

Benchmark SC.8.P.8.5 Recognize that there are a finite number of

elements and that their atoms combine in a multitude of ways to
produce compounds that make up all of the living and nonliving things
that we encounter.
