State Standards Embedded Standards Outcomes Content Connections Standard 9: Matter (2 weeks) GLE 0807.9.1 Understand that all matter is made up of atoms. Scaffolded (Unpacked) All substances are composed of one or more of approximately one hundred elements. Elements are substances composed of a single kind of atom. GLE 0807.Inq.5 Communicate scientific understanding using descriptions, explanations, and models. Recognize that all matter consists of Identify atoms as the fundamental particles that make up matter. Tennessee Holt Science and Technology TE, Chapter 8, Section 1: States of Matter and Section 2: Behavior of Gases and Section 3: Changes of State p. 208 - 223 Glencoe Tennessee Science 8; Chapter 6 p. 152-183. Recommended activities: (For labs and investigations, allow students to identify independent and dependent variables and controls, what tools are needed to do the gathering, how measurements will be recorded, provide evidence to support explanations or solutions and how many data are needed to support a claim.) Science Activity a Day investigation: Counting molecules and atoms p. 5 Atomic size in picometers p. 10 Surface tension p.11 Labs: - opportunities for student reading and writing, additional activities, and more extensive teacher background information. Informational text - – Readworks article 1240L Videos: A good video explaining atomic structure & molecules formation. Lessons: Academic vocabulary: atom, states of matter, solid, liquid, viscosity, surface tension, gas **(For academic vocabulary, use one of Marzano’ s high yield instructional strategies)** Performance task: Investigate what would happen to the length of a rubber band as more and more rings were hung on it. (Science Practice 3) Literacy RST 6-8.3 Performance task: Draw a Venn diagram in your science journal and fill in the characteristics of the states of matter. Describe how the states differ. (Science Practice 8) Literacy RST 6-8.2 Performance task: Apply content knowledge about the phases of matter to observations and problems from everyday life. (Science Practice 6) Literacy RST6-8.1 Performance task: Examine drops of water on several materials used on the outside of buildings (preferably your home or school). (Science Practice 3) Literacy RST Performance task: Create a visual-aid storyboard to show ice changing to There should be a
ACS lesson about density of liquids: Students will observe three household liquids stacked on each other and conclude that their densities must be different. They will predict the relative densities of the liquids and then measure their volume and mass to see if their calculations match their observations and predictions.

(Science Practice 2) Literacy RST 6-8.2 Standard 9: Matter (2 weeks) GLE 0807.9.2 Explain that matter has properties that are explained by the structure and arrangement of its GLE 0807.Inq.3 Use evidence from a dataset to determine cause and effect relationships that explain a phenomenon. Compare the particle arrangement and type of particle motion associated with different states of matter.
