Standards: K.P.4A.2 Develop and use models to describe and compare the properties of different materials (including wood, plastic, metal, cloth, and
paper) and classify materials by their observable properties, by their uses, and by whether they are natural or human-made.

Component Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday

Homework Review/Daily Orals: Monday: Show the youtube video” Materials Song” by Maria del Mar Martinez Moya Abanilla as a review.
Review the previous day’s homework and provide a warm-up activity for
students. Tuesday – Friday: Discuss previous night’s homework assignment/let students present their findings.

Anticipatory Set: Monday: The teacher will engage the students in an “I Spy” game. – Looking around the room, the teacher will pick an
This is designed to engage the students’ attention at the beginning of object made of plastic then paper, describe the object to them, and students will take turns guessing what the object is.
class. Called the “hook” or the “bell ringer”, it serves as a focus for the
day’s activities. (plastic/paper)

Tuesday: The teacher will engage the students in an “I Spy” game - Looking around the room, the teacher will pick an object
made of cloth, describe the object to them, and students will take turns guessing what the object is. (cloth)

Wednesday: The teacher will engage the students in an “I Spy “game - Looking around the room, the teacher will pick an
object made of wood, describe the object to them, and students will take turns guessing what the object is. (wood)

Thursday: The teacher will engage the students in an “I Spy” game - Looking around the room, the teacher will pick an
object made of metal, describe the object to them, and students will take turns guessing what the object is. (metal)

Friday: The teacher will engage students in a game of observation where they classify, describe and compare materials
made of wood, plastic, metal, cloth, and paper.

Objective and Purpose: TSWBAT Develop and use models to describe and compare the properties of different materials (including wood,

Instructional Input/Direct Instruction: Monday: The teacher will show the students one example of different materials made of plastic/paper. After exploring

human-made.

Tuesday: The teacher will show the students one example of different materials made of cloth. After exploring these items,
the children will explain what they are made of and how they feel and explain whether they are natural or human-made.

Wednesday: The teacher will show the students one example of different materials made of wood. After exploring these
items, the children will explain what they are made of and how they feel and explain whether they are natural or human-
made.

Thursday: The teacher will show the students one example of different materials made of metal. After exploring these
items, the children will explain what they are made of and how they feel and explain whether they are natural or human-
made.

Friday: The teacher will have students randomly chose an object from a basket and name what the object is made from and
determine if it is natural or human-made.

Guided Practice:
Under your supervision, the students are given a chance to practice and
apply the skills you taught them through direct instruction.
Monitor and Adjust
Upon presenting information and allowing students to practice the new
learning, the teacher will monitor students to determine who needs
reteaching and adjust the lesson accordingly.
The teacher will create a 4 block chart to display all of the different properties of materials. On each materials designated
day, the teacher will present items made of that material to show different examples. Next, the teacher will ask students to
list items made of the same material. As the students list items, the teacher will write them on that materials area on the
chart.
Monday: Paper/plastic

Tuesday: Cloth

Wednesday: Wood

Thursday: Metal

Independent Practice:
Through independent assignments, your students will demonstrate
whether or not they absorbed the lesson's learning goals.
This is the time to pull groups for Tier 1 intervention.
Monday: In small groups students will develop and create their own 4 block chart in their science journals to show items
made out of plastic/paper.
Tuesday: In small groups students will develop and create their own 4 block chart in their science journals to show items
made out of cloth.

Wednesday: In small groups students will develop and create their own 4 block chart in their science journals to show items
made out of wood.

Thursday: In small groups students will develop and create their own 4 block chart in their science journals to show items

made out of metal.

Friday: Whole group: students will share their favorite material we discussed and tell objects made of that material.

Closure: The teacher and students will compare the different properties of materials from which objects are made.
In the Closure section, outline how you will wrap up the lesson by giving
the lesson concepts further meaning for your students.

Assign Homework: Monday: Find 3 pocket sized things in your house that you can recycle that are made from plastic/paper and make a new

Thursday: Find 3 things in your house that you can recycle that are made from metal and make a new creation or the
students can find 3 things and glue them on a piece of paper and label them.

Resources: Materials made from paper, metal, wood, and paper, chart, marker, worksheets, pencils, computers, smartboard
Here, you determine what materials and supplies are required to help your
students achieve the stated lesson objectives.
