Learning Standard C: Know and apply concepts that describe properties of matter and energy and the interactions between them. Leaning Standard E: Know and apply concepts that describe the features and processes of the Earth and its resources. **__Theme__**: State of Matter **__English Proficiency Level__**: Beginning **__Grade__**: Kindergarten **__Objectives__**: //Language//: Students will listen to the story __Bartholomew and the Oobleck__ by Dr. Seuss and discuss what solids and liquids are and their differences. //Content//: Students will be able to understand through hands on experience about liquids and solids. **__Learning Strategies__**: Active Learning, Discussion, Cooperative learning, and Critical Thinking. **__Key Vocabulary:__** Liquid, Solid, Oobleck **__Materials:__** Cornstarch, water, bowls, glasses, green food coloring, a rock, whiteboard, and markers -Teacher will show the students a rock and a glass of water. -The teacher will then ask the student to describe the difference between the two. -The teacher will explain that water is a liquid and a rock is a solid. -The teacher will read __Bartholomew and the Oobleck__ by Dr. Seuss and beforehand have the students predict from the cover of the book what oobleck could be. -The teacher will then write down the students predictions on the whiteboard. -The teacher will then tell the students that they would be conducting an experiment to see who is right. -Students will then be split into two groups. -Students will aid the teacher and/or the assistant in mixing in the cornstarch and water together (2 parts cornstarch and 1 part water) and then adding in green food coloring at the end. -The teacher will then allow the two groups of students to play with the Oobleck to get a good sense of what it may be. -Before the students begin to play with it, the teacher will impose the questions “Is Oobleck a liquid or a solid? and What makes you thinks so?” -After each child has had the opportunity, the class will regard to answer the two questions the teacher imposed on them. ***When students are playing with the oobleck, the teacher will grab some oobleck and ESL students will be pulled into a small group to discuss and write down their new words and draw a picture in their word journals. In the small group, the teacher and students will discuss the word, their meaning, and a picture what will help them achieve the definition of the word. Also TPR (Total Physical Respond) will be included such as motions and demonstrations when it could be applicable to the word.** __ Practice/Application: __ __ Review/Assessment: __ ** __ Extensions: __** Students will take some oobleck home and ask family members to try to determine if it is a solid or a liquid.
