  2. Purpose • The purpose of this learning experience is to teach students how what the scientific properties are. The students will also learn that the scientific properties are not only for scientists but for every day people.

  3. School • Maryvale Intermediate School • Cheektowaga N.Y.

  4. Grade Level & Ability of Students • Mrs. Kiby’s 4th grade • Age Range: 9-11 years • Total of 21 students: • 11 boys, 10 girls

  6. Time Frame • Prior Unit • Classification of animals • Current Unit • Lessons 2 & 3 out of 3 week unit • Lessons 45 minute periods • After Unit • Energy & Motion

  7. Objectives • The students will be able to: • write detailed and good descriptions of the different scientific properties with 95%-100% accuracy. • recognize that the scientific properties are used in everyday life with 100% accuracy.

  8. Objectives • The students will be able to: • Identity the scientific properties with 100% accuracy.

  9. Essential Questions • What are the Scientific Properties and how do we use them in everyday life? • Guiding Questions • What the properties are? • How do we use the properties to observe and describe objects? • How do make good detailed descriptions?

  10. Enduring Understanding • The value of Scientific Properties and how they are used in everyday life.

  11. Student’s Tasks • Students will apply the Scientific Properties using a gummy worm and a coin. • Students will practice using the Scientific Properties and observing household items. • Students will create a poster using the Scientific Properties and present to the class.
