III. Procedure
A. PRELIMINARIES
1. Prayer
2. Greetings
3. Checking of Attendance
4. Classroom Inspection
B. PREPARATORY ACTIVITIES
Provided with six objects on six different stations (two large, two medium, two small)
students will break out into five groups of three and rotate to each station, explore and
identify the physical properties (color, shape/form, texture, size, and weight) of each object
in an observational worksheet.
TEACHER’S ACTIVITY STUDENT’S ACTIVITY
Engage: Teacher holds up a tennis ball and Students show prior knowledge by knowing
ask students to describe the shape, color basic shapes and colors to describe the
and to describe what the bowling ball feels tennis ball. Students discuss whether they
like and how heavy or light the ball is think the ball is light or heavy.

Key Irregular shape, Stiff, Pointy, Metal
Ask students:
Which of the three objects have
similar characteristics and could be
grouped together?

Question to investigate: Can
you place different objects
into groups based on their
observable properties?
Explain to students that if you use different
characteristics to group objects, you will get
different groupings. Explain that you could

discuss how they see an object and identify
an object’s properties.
IV. ASSIGNMENT
When you go home today, write down or draw three different objects that have at least
one property in common (with the help of the parents). The property can be any of the
ones we’ve been talking about or a different one.
Example:
Properties: Hard, soft, shiny, dull, flexible, stiff, rough, smooth, or what the object is made
from.
Pan, table, and brick – All hard
Pillow, sweater, and blanket – All soft
