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}

Lesson plan

Topic

Physical Science

Objectives

• Understand the basic concepts of matter and its states (solid, liquid, gas).
• Explore the properties of different states of matter.
• Conduct a simple experiment to observe the changes in matter.

Materials

• Whiteboard and markers
• Interactive projector (if available)
• Various samples of matter (ice, water, steam, rocks, etc.)
• Plastic cups
• Thermometer
• Stopwatch
• Worksheets for experiments and notes

Grade/Age Group

Grade 6

Subject

Science

Class Size

20 students

Duration

30 minutes

National Curriculum Alignment

This lesson aligns with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) focusing on the structure and properties of matter.

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length	Details
1	Introduction	5 min	Briefly introduce the topic of matter. Ask students what they know about the states of matter.
2	Concept Explanation	10 min	Explain the three states of matter (solid, liquid, gas) and their properties. Use examples and visuals.
3	Demonstration	5 min	Show physical samples of each state of matter. Use ice, water, and steam for live demonstration.
4	Experiment Setup	5 min	Divide students into pairs. Provide materials and instructions for a simple experiment observing melting ice.
5	Experiment Execution	5 min	Allow students to conduct their experiment, timing how long it takes for ice to melt and observing changes.
6	Conclusion and Homework Assignment	5 min	Recap the lesson and discuss findings. Distribute worksheets for students to summarize their understanding of states of matter as homework. Encourage them to think of real-life examples.

Homework

Students will complete a worksheet summarizing the three states of matter, including properties and examples, to be turned in during the next class. This homework will be checked, but no presentations will be required.
