1. Properties of Matter Unit Week 30 Directions 1.Prepare your desk for science. Science notebook 2.Use voice level 2 (conversation) discuss the following question: What are the three physical properties we talked about last week? What are some 4 th grade words you can use to describe each one? If you have a signed rubric, bring it to me!

2. New Seats!

3. Pass out comic strips & rubrics

4. Targets & Warm Up Targets: Students will define and describe matter’s physical properties Warm Up: What are the three physical properties we talked about last week? What are some 4 th grade words you can use to describe each one?

5. Physical Properties What is a physical property? A physical property is any property of matter that can be measured or observed. Physical properties can be tested when matter changes but does not turn into different matter.

6. We will focus on…. Color Shape Texture Length & Width Mass Volume (of liquids and solids) observe measure

7. Units List Length/Width/Height mm = millimeter cm = centimeter m = meter Mass g = grams kg = kilograms Volume (liquids and odd - shaped solids) mL = milliliter L = liter Volume (solids only) mm 3 = cubic millimeter cm 3 = cubic centimeter m 3 = cubic meter

8. Length & Width Length: How long an object is – Usually the vertical and/or longer side Width: How wide an object is – Usually the horizontal and/or shorter side Measured with a ruler Units: mm, cm

9. Mass The amount of matter in an object For liquids, subtract the mass of the container after finding the total mass Measured with a pan balance Units: g, kg

10. Volume (of liquids) The amount of space that matter takes up Measured with a graduated cylinder Units: mL, L

11. Volume (of rectangular-shaped solids) The amount of space that matter takes up Volume = length x width x height Measured with a ruler or meter stick Units = mm 3, cm 3, m 3

12. Volume (of odd-shaped solids) The amount of space that matter takes up Observe the change in water level  water displacement Measured with a graduated cylinder Units: – mL or L – mm 3, cm 3, or m 3 1 mL = 1 cm 3

13. Practice Think & Measure/Discuss: 1. Can I measure the length & width of my object? How would I measure the length and width? 2.How would I measure the mass? 3.How would I measure the volume? Items: Eraser Toothbrush Toy duck Glue stick Cup of water Slinky

15. Reflection Questions What tests can we do to find physical properties of matter? Why are there a variety of ways to test and find physical properties of matter? (ex. finding the volume is different for a key compared to a book)

16. Targets (Revisited) Students will define and describe matter’s physical properties
