Science Challenge Plan

Activity: Using the Kidsperation activity template I have created, the students will demonstrate their knowledge about the physical properties of solids, liquids, and gases by sorting a series of objects into the correct Supergrouper box based on their physical properties.



TPACK
1. Content:
5th Grade Science: Standard 1, Objective 2a: Identify the physical properties of matter (e.g. solid, liquid, gas)

2. Pedagogy:
-Classifying
-Describing relationships
-Analyzing Data
This pedagogy is a good fit for the content because in order for the students to clearly understand the differences between solids, liquids, and gases, they must be able to analyze the physical properties of each, describe the relationships between them, and then classify objects according to their physical properties.

3. Technology
I will be using Kidsperation to create an interactive science activity. The students will categorize a series of items according to their physical states as either a solid, liquid, or gas. The kidsperation technology is a good fit with the content and pedagogy because it will allow the students to analyze and classify different items according to their physical properties and to describe the relationships between solids, liquids, and gases by simply dragging each item into the correct Supersorter box.
