**Physical Science: Matter **

**A: ** **4th Grade ** **Sunshine State Standards: **
 * SC.4.P.8.1 **: Measure and compare objects and materials based on their physical properties including: mass, shape, volume, color, hardness, texture, odor, taste, attraction to magnets
 * SC.4.P.8.2 ****: ** Identify properties and common uses of water in each of its states.
 * SC.4.N.1.1 **: Raise questions about the natural world, use appropriate reference materials that support understanding to obtain information (identifying the source), conduct both individual and team investigations through free exploration and systematic investigations, and generate appropriate explanations based on those explorations.

 * <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Microsoft Office(PowerPoint, word)
 * <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Head phones

**<span style="color: #eb00ff; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','sans-serif'; font-size: 23px;">U: ** **<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','sans-serif';"> Use of Materials ** <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">The students will need to have access to a computer with internet, kidspiration, and Microsoft office. This type of technology will be used for students to research and create a power point describing what they have learned. Also they will use Kidspiration to create a map of the differences of the states of matter. The students will participate in an online quiz, and play games, helping them better understand matter. They will also apply their technology skills by printing out their rubrics for self-evaluations.

<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">The Science Notebook is so the students have a solid place to keep all of their notes, and work. This is so that it is easier for the teacher (me) to grade all of the work at once.

**<span style="color: #eb00ff; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','sans-serif'; font-size: 19px;">R: ** **<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','sans-serif';">Require Learner Participation ** <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">The Technology being used in the lesson is the computer. They need this in order to complete most if their assignments. On the computer they will conduct research, play games, take a quiz, and create a map on Kidspiration, and a power point. To make using the technology easier the students will be working in groups to help each other out. This is teaching the students how to use technology and to use critical thinking skills to evaluate their projects.

**<span style="color: #eb00ff; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','sans-serif'; font-size: 19px;">E: ** **<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','sans-serif';"> Evaluation ** <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">This Rubric will be used to grade your Science Notebooks and Assignments. Make sure you have completed everything on the guidelines, and you put your best foot forward.
