| Full lesson | Create for a teacher a set of content for giving a lesson, beginning with the lesson plan. Each new block of materials must begin with an H1 heading (other subheaders must be H2, H3, etc). When you describe required pictures, write those descriptions in curly brackets, for example: {A picture of a triangle} |

K-5 (Grades 1-3)
Science
20 students
30 minutes
This lesson aligns with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) related to understanding properties of matter.
| Step Number | Step Title | Length (minutes) | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction | 5 | Introduce the topic of matter. Ask students what they think matter is and gather responses. Provide a definition. |
| 2 | States of Matter | 10 | Explain the three states of matter (solid, liquid, gas). Use visual aids and examples. |
| 3 | Hands-On Activity | 10 | Engage students in a hands-on activity where they observe and classify samples of matter. They can use ice, water, and air in a balloon. |
| 4 | Class Discussion | 3 | Facilitate a discussion to share observations and conclusions from the hands-on activity. |
| 5 | Wrap-Up & Homework | 2 | Review key points of the lesson. Hand out a worksheet as homework that reinforces the properties of matter. |
Students will complete a worksheet that includes questions and activities related to the properties and states of matter. Homework will be collected at the beginning of the next class but students will not be required to present it in front of the class.
