The videos, “Word on the Street: Transform”, and “Melting Ice” both align with the standard “2-PS1-4. Construct an argument with evidence that some changes caused by heating or cooling can be reversed and some cannot”, making the videos suitable for a 2nd-grade classroom. The student learning objectives for “Melting Ice” are that students will be able to learn about the states of matter, solids, liquids, and gases. As for the skill objective, students will be able to observe different items and work together to determine whether they are solids, liquids, or gases. The SLOs for “Word on the Street: Transform” are students will learn whether changes in state of matter are always permanent or not. The skill objective is to observe ice and determine …show more content…

The students will be sitting in groups of 3-4 and each group will receive an aluminum tray with the items. These items include ice cubes, a pencil, a cup full of water, balloons, and hand sanitizer. The ice cube is for them to see that states of matter can transform; the ice melts into water and becomes liquid. The students will be encouraged to blow air into the balloons, so they can see that their breath is made up of gases. As for the hand sanitizer, students can apply some and feel that it is a liquid. Giving them different items to analyze allows them to have rich experiences, as were mentioned in module 2. In module 2, fourth-grade teacher Lisa Moosbrugger had her students learn about sound by allowing them to analyze different objects such as drums, cups, and cans. Rather than just explaining to students what the states of matter are, I will have students analyze different objects to further learn about the states of matter and to prompt their
