Scientific Method Properties Congruency Table Main Understanding Instructional Task Learning Objectives Student Work Assessment Tool Matter has properties (color, hardness, odor, sound, taste, etc.) that can be observed through the senses. With assistance from the teacher the students will observe objects (a coin & a worm) and describe objects by their properties. _____________ Using the HOWSCTS worksheet for assistance, students will practice writing detailed descriptions of the scientific properties. _____________ Independently the students will create a poster observing the different properties using their senses. The students will be able to observe and learn the different scientific properties. The students will be able to write detailed and good descriptions of the different scientific properties. _____________ The students will make a hypothesis using the scientific properties to identify the mystery object that their classmate has chosen. Students will use the HOWSCTS worksheet and fill out the Using the Hands Lens worksheet. _____________ Students will observe household items such as a phone, glass of milk, and celery with their senses and write detailed descriptions of the different properties. _____________ Students will create a mystery object poster, by choosing a of matter, observe properties with their senses. Pre-assessment: Students will take a ten question multiple choice quiz on different subtopics of matter. Informal Assessment: Students work with partners, small and whole group discussion will be evaluated. _____________ The Mystery Object Poster along with a four point rubric will be used to assess each student’s ability on the following attributes: *Properties *Observations * Spelling/Grammar
