This document provides a lesson plan for teaching kindergarten students about the three states of matter - solid, liquid, and gas - using water as an example. The lesson begins with discussing ice and water, and defining solids. Students then learn that steam is water in its gas state through an activity where they boil water. Finally, liquids are explained and examples like water in a cup are provided. Follow up activities reinforce the concepts through a chemical reaction changing states and freezing water.

The student will investigate and understand that water flows and has properties that can be observed and tested. Key concepts include a) water occurs in different phases
Objective
The student will investigate the three physical states of
water (Solid, Liquid, and Gas). The student will be able to identify water in its various phases with the correct term with 80% accuracy during a conference with the teacher. Lesson The teacher will have a clear glass of ice water and ask Introduction/ students if they can identify what is in her glass. Allow Discussion for student response until the desired answer of water and ice are given. The teacher will then ask the question What is ice? The teacher will make a list of student responses to the previous question. Teacher *This discussion will explain that ice is water that is frozen, this can will be held over a happen in a freezer or outside when the temperature is course of days. below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, and is considered a Due to students solid. Explain that solids are objects that have their own attention span shape and only change if broken. After giving examples solid, liquid, and of solids that are near the teacher such as books, chair gas will be etc. to allow for movement have students stand up and covered in depth walk around the room and point to a solid. Have on separate days. students recite the word solid and pound their fists in their hand to show a solid. Call students back to the floor and show a picture on the SmartBoard of a pot of boiling water with steam coming from the top. Tell students that the steam is still water, but it has been

heated and is now a gas, then teach hand motion for
gas. Finally tell students that the original water in the cup is a liquid. Explain that liquids are things that can be poured and make a class generated list of liquids. Teach hand movement for liquid which is pouring and if pouring from a pitcher. 1. Put baking soda in a balloon, put vinegar in a bottle. Then put the balloon on the bottle and the chemical reaction will cause the balloon to blow up 2. Get cups fill with water then put a popsicle stick in it. Explain that the water in the cup is a liquid. Put in the freezer and when it comes out explain that it now is a solid. 3. Do a Solid, Liquid and Gas worksheet 4. Life Cycle of a Snowman worksheet Baking Soda, Vinegar, Water Bottle, Popsicle stick, Cups, Water, Freezer, 2 Worksheets copied enough for the students
