Lesson Objective

• To gain an understanding that liquids differ in color, smell, and thickness. Students will also observe that solids and liquids have different properties.

Content Standard Addressed

Science

• 1. Materials come in different forms (states), including solids, liquids, and gases. As a basis for understanding this concept:

– a. Students know solids, liquids, and gases have different properties.

Materials

• Big Book Solids, Liquids, and Gases• Liquids Worksheet• Water• Dish soap• Oil• Syrup• BBQ sauce• Honey• Clear plastic cups• Clipboards• Pencils• Various vases• Beads

Opening

• Students will be seated on the carpet. We will read the Big Book, Solids, Liquids, and Gases together.

• We will discuss that a liquid is a form of matter that takes the shape of its container.

• A large table will be at the front of the classroom with the various vases along with water and beads.

• I will place the beads into one vase and ask the students what they observe that the beads did.

Opening

• I will then place water in the vase and ask the students what they observed that happened differently.

• I will explain that liquids, unlike solids, take the shape of its container.

• I will then go on to talk about color, smell, and

the thickness of the water.

Activity

• Students will be placed in groups of 4 and take turns putting their fingers in the different liquids.

• Students will put an X in the correct place for color, no color, strong smell, no smell, thick, and not thick.

Activity

• Students will rotate through all five stations with their pencils and clipboards, marking an X in the appropriate column and when they are finished, they will return to the carpet with their clipboards.

Assessment of Learning

• The Liquids Activity Sheet with the X’s in columns for color, smell, and thickness.

Questions: • What did you notice about the different liquids?• How many of the liquids were colored?• How many of the liquids smelled?• How many of the liquids were thick?• How many were not thick?• Why did the solid beads lie on top of each other and

stay in the same place and all of the liquids changed shape?

Closure

• There are many different types of liquid in the world. All of the liquids change shape when placed into another container. The particles in a liquid are not as close together as those in a solid. Because of this, the liquids can move around.
