Description

This unit covers NGSS – MS-PS1-1 & MS-PS1-2 and is ideal for middle school science or as an introduction unit for secondary physical science courses. The unit includes a day-by-day implementation schedule which is both easy to follow as well as flexible. The unit’s focus is that everyday substances have specific physical and chemical properties that determine their practical uses. To promote understanding of this focus, the unit guides students through a series of activities and lessons involving the structure and properties of matter and chemical reactions. Using this framework, students will be able to think critically as well as connect scientific ideas about the properties of matter and how these properties are used in our daily lives.
 
Day-By-Day Planner
My day-by-day teaching plan is based on a very flexible, open curriculum directly aligned with NGSS standards. Feel free to follow my plan to the letter or make changes accordingly as I’ve included several alternate activities that can be added to the unit or used in place of others.
 
The bundle includes PowerPoint lessons, worksheets, lab stations, scavenger hunts, quizzes, as well as readings to fully cover and assess each topic covered. Each resource is FULLY EDITABLE for your convenience. These additional activities can also be given to students who finish early or who seek extra practice.
My unit plans follow a 5E approach to teaching. However, it can be difficult to squeeze all those activities into a single unit, especially when there are school events, assemblies, and unforeseen circumstances.
This Unit Outline describes 8 days of work. However, you can stretch it into a 10-day unit if desired. How do I recommend you do this? Include a work period after Day 4. Students can then ensure their worksheets are all complete and can ask any questions they have. Include a second work period after Day 5 or 6 so that students can ensure their Density homework questions are complete.
The unit also includes a Bill Nye video worksheet which can be used as an emergency lesson plan if needed.
 
Properties of Matter Resource Listing. Listed below you’ll find the individual resources included in the bundle as well as their suggested day of implementation. Some days have more than one resource listed as I tried to provide as much choice as possible.
 
Individually, the included resources would cost $92. With this bundle, you’ll save over 45%!
