P.7.5.A.2-Analyze and interpret qualitative data to describe substances using chemical properties (the ability to burn or
rust
IV. Performance Task/ Summative Task:
TSW define physical property.
TSW identify the physical properties of substances.
TSW explore the physical properties of substances through investigations. (Mini-labs)
V. Vocabulary Words and Word Analysis:
A. Word Analysis Instructional Strategy: Main Idea and Details; Summarize, Compare, Contrast
B. Vocabulary: scientific method, qualitative data, physical property, states of matter, boiling point, melting
point, density, heat/electrical conductivity, conductivity, magnetic properties
VI. Teaching/Learning Procedures:
A. Anticipatory Activity: Demonstration (Paper: Original state; crushed) TSW determine the physical properties
of the paper.
B. Teaching/Learning Activities
• Explicit Instruction/ Modeling: TTW review the graphs, discuss physical property; provide examples of physical
properties; demonstrate how to collect qualitative data of physical properties
• Guided Practice/ Interactive Modeling: TTW facilitate the mini labs demonstrating physical properties; discuss
the worksheet on physical properties.
