 * Science: Introduction to Matter
 * 1) Open the PDF file of our lesson plan, and review your learning objectives for Tue - Wed on page 4. Record your leaning objectives in your science notebook. [[file:SY 09 Science Lesson Plan Cycle 1 Week 5.pdf]]
 * 2) Group 1 will work independently on the computer and follow this lesson from parts 5-11.
 * 3) Group 2 will work in pairs and small groups with a teacher to complete reinforcement activities on chapter 1, sections 1 and 2. These activiteis are listed in parts 12-17.
 * 4) Login to your online textbook @ [|Holt Online Learning]​
 * 5) Go to Chapter 1, Section 3.
 * 6) Activate (Click on) Visual Concepts tab.
 * 7) View, take notes, and study all five animations under section 3, chemical properties.
 * 8) After studying the animations, answer the following prompts in a complete sentence:
 * Is rusting an example of a chemical change? Why?
 * Is slicing a birthday cake into eight pieces an example of a chemical change? Why or why not?
 * When baking soda and vinegar combine, I can observe bubbles and foaming? Which property of matter does this demonstrate? Be specific! Hint: See page 16, "Chemical Properties" for the two chemical properties you should know.
 * 1) Create a Venn diagram to compare and contrast chemical and physical changes.
 * 2) If your complete 5 -10, please do the following extended activities:
 * Go to the "Activities & Quizzes" tab for Chapter 1, and complete the online self-check quizzes for "Chemical Properties", "Physical Properties", and "What is Matter?" in that order, and record the questions that you got incorrect. Turn that list into your teacher.
 * Complete the standadized test prep on pages 26 and 27 of your online textbook.
 * 1) Go to Chapter 2, Section 1 of your paper textbook and review learning objectives
 * 2) Take notes & participate in teacher-lead discussions on states of matter
 * 3) Fill-in states of matter table (Provided by teacher) [[image:http://www.wikispaces.com/i/mime/32/application/pdf.png height="32" link="http://thevirtualneal.wikispaces.com/file/view/states+of+matter+table.pdf"]] [|states of matter table.pdf]
 * 4) Complete states of matter reinforcement worksheet (Provided by teacher)
 * 5) Complete reinforcement worksheet of density (Provided by teacher)
 * 6) Extended activity: Complete the standadized test prep on pages 26 and 27 of your textbook
 * 7) Regroup into pairs, view animations in chapter 2, section 1, and complete guided note-taking[[file:Chapter 2 Section Animation Notes.pdf]]
 * 8) Extended activity: complete online quiz from chapter 2, section 1.
 * 9) Thurs-Fri Activities:
 * 10) After Today's "Do Now", review learning objectives from page 4 of your lesson plan. See #1 above for your lesson plan.
 * For activities concerning chemical changes and chemical properties, see learning objectives for Mon-Tue #1-3.
 * For activities concerning states of matter, see learning objectives for Mon-Tue #4 and 5.
 * For activities involving the behavior of gases as pressure and temperature change, see learning objectives for Thurs-Fri # 6 and 7.
 * 1) Complete all previous activities in the following order:
 * 2) Questions from #8 above
 * 3) Venn Diagram from #9 above
 * 4) Behavior of Gases Handout
 * 5) Calculate Density
 * 6) New: In pairs, and using your computer, view animations from chapter 2, section 1, and complete the guided-note-taking (cloze activity) hand-out provided by your teacher. You can view the handout here.
 * 7) Challenger: If I place a balloon outside on a hot summer day, predict what will happen to the balloon and why. Defend your response with specific facts that your learned about gases and their behaviors.[[file:Chapter 2 Section Animation Notes.pdf]]
