Detailed Lesson Plan PreparationElementary EducationName: Louise Fossen, Emma Bauman, Sasha JentTitle: The Science of SlimeGrade: 3rdConcept/Topic: States of MatterTime Needed: 30 minsNote: A detailed lesson plan is specific enough for another teacher to read and teach effectively. There should not be any question regarding what to do or how to do it.Backward Design Approach: Where are you going with your students?Identify Desired Results/Learning Outcome/Essential Question/Objective: Polymers are unique because they have qualities of both a solid and a liquid. ?Solids are made of molecules that are bonded tightly together. ?Liquid molecules spread out and break apart into pools or drops when they are poured from the container. ?Polymers are special because they contain molecules that link together in a chain-like fashion enabling them to bend and stretch without breaking apart. ?Gelatin, rubber bands, and chewing gum are all good examples of polymers to share and discuss with students. ??Indiana State Standards (completely write out): 3.2.6 Describe how the properties of earth materials make them useful to humans in different ways. Describe ways that humans have altered these resources to meet their needs for survival.Assessment Plan: Is slime a solid or a liquid?If you formed it into a ball and placed it on a table, would it remain in the shape of a ball? Why do you think that is?What are some other examples of polymers?Meeting the student where they are:Prior Knowledge/Connections (how will you stimulate prior knowledge?): Learned about Solids, Liquids and Gases previously.Read the book Professor McNasty’s Collection of Slimes by Chris Bickley.Lesson Introduction/Hook (anticipatory set): Previously we learned about Solids, Liquids and gases and read the book Professor McNasty’s Collection of Slimes. Today, we get to make some slime just like in the book we just read! Heart of the Lesson/Learning PlanLesson Development (this is step by step what you are teaching…should be like a recipe): Introduce the topicRead the storyPresent visual AidMix ingredients to make slimeHave students observe slime Have students answer questionsConclude with questions from the students Guided practice (how will the students practice in the classroom to show you they are competent to do the task on their own): Project rules:Keep ingredients inside containers and on the tableKeep your slime on your table and away from other’s personal spaceSpecific Questioning: What is the purpose/value of states of matter.New Vocabulary: PolymersMoleculesViscosity Concluding the Lesson/Closure/Debriefing: Further questions or comments.Materials/Resources: Warm waterBaking sodaContact solutionFood coloringGlitter (optional)Mixing bowlsMeasuring cups and measuring spoonsVisual AidThe book Professor McNasty’s Collection of Slimes by Chris BickleyIndependent Practice (what will the students do on their own to practice the skills): Make different versions or expanding of the slime on their own. ................
