In this lesson, students will observe a Power Point that includes facts about solids, liquids, and gases (including a model of the molecules, a fact about the molecules, a fact about the shape, a fact about the volume, and examples of each state. Then, students complete a study guid and open ended questions about the states of matter.

Students watch the presentation and fill in facts and examples into their chart. This is a great introductory lesson about types of energy including: solar, mechanical, thermal, light, electrical, chemical, and sound. I used this lesson as a whole group lesson, then had students glue their charts into their science journals. This could also be used as a center lesson.

This presentation gives introductory information about solar, mechanical, thermal, light, electrical, chemical, and sound energy. It provides basic facts and examples of each type of energy. I used this as whole group lesson, but it could very easily be used as an individual lesson or a lesson for a center.

As a warm up, students copy important safety and tool vocabulary from the PowerPoint. Then, they learn a hand motion to associate with each vocabulary word. In my class, we learn 2-3 words daily. Then, we practice all of the words with the motions every day to help retain learning.

As a warm up, students copy down important physical property vocabulary from the PowerPoint. Then, they learn a hand motion to associate with each vocabulary word. In my class, we learn 2-3 words daily. Then, we practice all of the words with the motions every day to help retain learning.

This powerpoint could be used as a whole group lesson or independently. First students predict what tools they could use in the science lab. Then, they check with the powerpoint. The picture appears first (so students can try to identify the tool), then the use of the tool comes next. I often have students predict how we will use the tool in my science class.

This is a presentation for the states of matter that covers solids, liquids, and gases. It goes into detail about the particles of each state, the shape of each state, and the volume of each state. It would be great for a whole group introductory lesson.
