| 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} |

This lesson plan aligns with the national science standards that focus on the properties of matter and its changes.
| Step Number | Step Title | Length (minutes) | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction to Matter | 5 | Introduce the concept of matter; ask students what they know. Use examples to engage them. |
| 2 | States of Matter | 10 | Present the three states of matter: solids, liquids, gases. Discuss properties and give examples. |
| 3 | Particle Arrangement | 5 | Explain how particles are arranged in each state, emphasizing movement and spacing differences. |
| 4 | Group Activity | 5 | Have students work in pairs to classify items as solids, liquids, or gases, using handouts. |
| 5 | Review and Q&A | 3 | Review key points from the lesson. Address any questions students may have. |
| 6 | Exit Ticket Assessment | 2 | Pass out exit tickets for students to write one thing they learned and one question they have. |
Students will complete a worksheet on the states of matter and submit it at the beginning of the next class. Homework will be checked for completion without student presentations.
This plan follows US norms and standards, and the structure allows for flexibility to adapt to various grade levels while ensuring student engagement through interactive and practical activities.
