State of Matter
This week I decided to investigate the state of matter this
is my “big idea.” The reason I chose to
look at this topic is due to I am being the Physical Science Unit next week and
the first part the students will be learning about is matter. One of
the best sites I found in which I will be able to use in my classroom is the on
Discovery Education. The name of the
video is called Matter and its Properties: Observing
the Properties of Matter. This
video has a pretest as well as a post test.
It also has a lesson plan which is designed to go along with the
video. In addition the video is broken
up into six segments. The only problem I
see about anyone using this site is you have to have a subscription to the
site. I am very lucky to say my school
purchased this subscription for me a few years ago. Another good site in which I found which can
be used every day by teachers is YouTube.
YouTube has
some wonderful video which teach the States of Matter. There
are many sites online about matter, from videos to lesson plans. If a teacher wants to find the sites all they
have to do is look. One of my favorite sites I found was The Phantom's Portrait Parlor this site can be
used as a science investigates in the classroom. These are just a few sites I
have found and I would say there are many more.
The way in which my students will get prepared for the 21st
century by using these type of sites is through investigate each site and using
them in their research and or science inquiry.
The type of activity I would plan around these sites in a guided inquiry
lesson, in which the students would have research as well as complete an
experiment.
The biggest challenge I would have in using some of these
sites is money. One of the best sites I found
in which I can use does cost money. The
way I could get around this is by using the site in the classroom as a whole
class lesson.
www.discoveryeducation.com looks for the video Matter and its
Properties: Observing the Properties of Matter.
