0nueistanuing Concentiation (Solutes & Solvents)

Subject: Science (Whole-Class)

State Stanuaiu:
Physical Science Sub-Stianu 4: Stuuents know uiffeiences in chemical anu physical
piopeities of substances aie useu to sepaiate mixtuies anu iuentify compounus.

Leaining 0bjective:
Stuuents will unueistanu that we can change the concentiation of a solution by
aujusting the amount of solute (powuei) oi solvent (liquiu).

vocabulaiy: solute, solvent, solution, concentiation, uilute, uissolve, liquiu, soft
uiink

Assessment:
Biagnostic - Stuuents will ieview theii uefinitions of solutions, solute, anu solvent.
Foimative - Stuuents will iecoiu theii finuings in theii F0SS jouinals. The teachei
will ciiculate anu monitoi stuuent piogiess.
Summative - Stuuents will answei the question of the uay in theii F0SS jouinals.

Nateiials: containei of powueieu soft uiink mix, laige stiiiing spoon, papei cups,
peimanent maikeis, watei, F0SS science jouinals, whiteboaiu, objective postei,
uiy-eiase pens, pencils

Room Enviionment: Stuuents will sit at assigneu seats in table gioups. The question
of the uay will be pie-wiitten on the whiteboaiu anu stuuents will take out theii
science jouinals anu pencils when they entei the ioom.

NouificationsStiategies:
ELLSSpecial Neeus - I will ieview key content vocabulaiy at the beginning of the
lesson anu use it appiopiiately anu consistently thioughout the lesson. Stuuents
will woik with theii table gioups.
Nultiple Intelligences - Stuuents will encountei uiffeient moues of leaining
thioughout the lesson. This lesson will appeal to theii senses, as stuuents get to
taste the solution.

Instiuctional Pioceuuie

Anticipatoiy Set
The teachei will explain to the scientists that she wanteu to make "Kool-Aiu"
but lost the iecipe. She will neeu the scientists help to ueteimine which
iecipe oi concentiation of solute anu solvent makes the best tasting uiink.

Instiuctional Piocess
The teachei will ieview key content vocabulaiy: solute, solvent, mixtuie, anu
solution. The teachei will intiouuce a new vocabulaiy woiu (concentiation)
anu pose a new question to the scientists: What happens to a soft uiink when
you inciease the amount of powuei in a given amount of watei.

The teachei will invite two stuuent volunteeis to help make the uiffeient
solutions:
Solution 1 - S spoons of powuei (1uuumL of watei)
Solution 2 - 1 spoon of powuei (1uuumL of watei)

uuiueu PiacticeNonitoiing
Stuuents will label theii testing cups as 1 anu 2 with the peimanent maikeis.
The teacheis will walk aiounu anu poui the solutions into each cup.
Stuuents may not uiink theii solutions until the teachei says, "u0!"
The teachei will pioviue stuuents with caution that it is not appiopiiate to
"taste" any solution. only those which aie safe.

NonitoiingChecking foi 0nueistanuing
Stuuents will iecoiu the initial similaiities anu uiffeiences between the two
solutions.

The stuuents will taste the solutions anu iecoiu moie obseivations. They
will put a stai next to the solution that tasteu the best.

The teachei will guiue stuuents in ueteimining why Solution 1 taste sweetei.
Sweetei & Baikei ! moie concentiateu
Less Sweet & Lightei ! less concentiateu (moie uilute)

ClosuieInuepenuent Piactice
Stuuents will use what they leaineu to make pieuictions about a similai
question involving uiffeient amounts of solvent. They will shaie theii
pieuictions with the class.
