Matter Properties and Changes
_____________________________________________________________________________
Central Focus/Big Idea: By knowing how to measure and compare weight and volume of water
in different containers students will discover that the amount does not change when it is frozen
then melted back to a liquid.
Subject of this lesson: Matter: Properties and Change
Grade Level: 2nd
NC Essential Standard(s): 2.P.2. Understand properties of solids and liquids and the changes
they undergo.
Next Generation Science Standard(s): What K-5 performance expectation is addressed? Please
list the full code (i.e. K-PS2-1) and the statement. The NGSS are located here:

21st Century Skills:
Initiative and self-direction
Academic Language Demand
Language Function: In the table below highlight the one most important language
function for your lesson. I chose these skills because I felt they were most within their
academic level. Describe allows them to make observations of scientific phenomenon
which they will do a lot when they test hypotheses and predict gives them experience
forming reasonable hypotheses.

Instructional Objective: 2.P.2.2 Compare the amount (volume and weight) of water in a
container before and after freezing.
Prior Knowledge (student): know what liquid is, know what solid is, know what gas is, know
what water is, know what it means to freeze something, know what it means to melt something
Content Knowledge (teacher): They should have a solid understanding of properties of matter.
Know how water can change to and from each of its three states (solid, liquid, and gas). Know
measurements well enough to teach them how to measure volume and weight of water.
Knowledge that the amount does not change
Accommodations for special needs (individual and/or small group): What will you do for
students with special needs (ELL, ability, etc.)?
Materials and Technology requirements:
Scale or balance
Container that can be frozen
water
food coloring to make the water easier to see.
Sprite
Apple Juice
Total Estimated Time:
30 min

Safety considerations: Only use the materials for their prior purposes. Don't play with the
materials.
