gases

Department of Mathematics and Science

What is Matter?

• Matter is everything around you, including you!

• Look around the classroom. Everything, from the clothes you are wearing to the air you breath is matter.

• Matter is what all objects are made of. • Name a type of matter you see. • How do we tell the difference between the

matter around us?

Department of Mathematics and Science

All Matter has Properties.

What are properties?Properties are the characteristics of matter that can be observed.

What does it mean to observe?To observe an object means to carefully explore all of its properties.

Look for words that describe properties of matter as you read.

Make a list in your notebook.What other properties can you name? Add them.

How do we study properties of matter?

We use our Senses (K-5)

• Sight - Looks – Color– Number of Holes– Shape– Size

• Touch – Feels (texture)• Hear – Sounds when

dropped• Smell – Odor • Taste

• Eyes

• Hands and Fingers• Ears

• Nose• Mouth

to observe properties of matter

We use our senses to tell about an object’s properties.

Shape - round like a sphere

color – yellow green

FeelsTexture – fuzzy

Looks

Properties of a Tennis Ball

Sounds bouncy -thump, thumpSmells

Odor - musty

What else can we use to help observe properties?

Measurement Tools (2-5) Properties• Ruler length

• Tape measure length

• Measuring cup volume

How Can We Sort?

We can use our senses to classify matter in different ways.We can group matter by how it feels.Some matter may feel hard or bumpy.We can group matter by shape. Matter can havemany different shapes. (Gr. 1 Scott Foresman Quick Study)

How can we sort these buttons?We can sort by color: blue - red – green – yellowMatter can be different colors.We can sort by size:small - medium – largeMatter can be different sizes.

Practicing Science Sort, Group, Classify

1. Observe the school supplies in your basket.2. Make a data chart to list the properties observed

and measured in your notebook.3. Decide on a way to sort your objects. 4. Sort the objects. Name your groups.5. Talk about why you classified them as you did.6. Can you sort your objects in another way? Try it.

Matter Jeopardy Game Rules

Game Rules• Select an object you

observed.• List both qualitative and

quantitative properties (begin with the most obvious properties).

• Give descriptions to other group as they try to guess the object based on its properties.

What is my matter?Qualitative Properties: (uses five senses)• Texture: smooth and hard• Shape: long cylinder• Other: Not magneticQuantitative properties: (Uses measurement tools) • Mass: 10 g• Length: 14 cm• What is a marker?

Claim

Claims are the statements that answer your original question.

• The claim must be accurate, specific, and answer the question.

• The claim is usually one sentence in length.

Department of Mathematics and Science

Evidence

The evidence is all the scientific data that supports your claim.• This data helps to answer the question or problem that

the students are examining.• It can come from a variety of sources such as: lab investigation, textbook, reading selections, videos, news reports, class notes, etc.• It should include both qualitative and quantitative data.• It is important to have numerous pieces of evidence in

order to prove your claim.

Department of Mathematics and Science

Reasoning

• Reasoning is the explanation that connects your claim to the evidence that supports it or why you think your claim (answer to the question) is correct.

• It is the justification that shows why the data is relevant and should be used to support the claim as evidence.

• It shows a detailed understanding of the scientific principles involved and uses correct science vocabulary.

• This explanation acts as a conclusion. • If evidence is from an experiment, it can be the

“conclusion” of the lab.• It is usually several sentences in length.

Department of Mathematics and Science

Progression for Argumentation K-12

Grade Argumentation Focus

K-2Claim + Evidence Claim – Make conclusions from investigations. Evidence – Use observations from investigations.

3-5

Claim + Evidence + Reasoning Claim – Make conclusions. Evidence - Use observations and measurements. Reasoning – Provide a simple connection between claim and evidence using the big ideas they have

learned in science.

6-8

Claim + Evidence + Reasoning (greater complexity) Claim – Make conclusions. Evidence - Use observations and measurements. Distinguish between appropriate and inappropriate data.

Consider sufficiency of evidence. Reasoning – Provide a justification for why the evidence supports the claim using scientific principles.

9-12

Claim + Evidence + Reasoning + Rebuttal Claim – Make conclusions. Evidence - Use observations and measurements. Distinguish between appropriate and inappropriate data.

Consider sufficiency of evidence. Reasoning – Provide a justification for why the evidence supports the claim using scientific principles.

Each piece of evidence may have a different justification. Rebuttal – Describe why a counter-claim is not appropriate by critiquing the alternative evidence and

reasoning.

Department of Mathematics and Science

Claim Evidence (CE)Assignment: Think like a scientist to write an answer to this question:How do you learn about the properties of objects?

Claim: (A sentence that states how you learn about properties of objects.)

Evidence: (Examples (data) of what you did to learn about properties of objects.)

Getting Started First think about:

What is a possible claim? Where can you find your

evidence (data)? Where can you find

science and other words to help you write?

What science words will you want to include?

Claim: I can use my senses to observe properties of objects.Evidence: My eraser’s properties - First I used my eyes to look. My eraser’s color is pink. Its shape is like a box. Next I used my hands to feel it. It is smooth. It can bend. I smell it with my nose. It smells like rubber. Then I used my ears to describe the sound it made when I dropped it. It bounced a little and sounded like a thump, thump.

Gr. 2 CER SampleClaim: I know I can use my senses to learn about properties of objects.Evidence:Pencil’s properties:Color: blue and yellowShape: long and round like a can with one end sharpened and the other end with an eraser.Feels: smooth and hardOne end feels sharp and the other end feels rubbery.Sounds when dropped: plop, plopSmell: woody

Reasoning: Here is how I used my senses to observe my pencil’s properties. First I used my eyes to look at my pencil. I can see my pencil’s color is blue with yellow stars. Its shape is long and round like a can. I can see one end is sharpened with a point. Next I used my hands to feel it. It feels smooth and hard. Then I used my ears to describe the sound it made when I dropped it. It sounded like a plop, plop. Last I used my nose to smell it. It smells like wood. All objects have properties I can use my senses to observe.

Department of Mathematics and Science

3-5 Claim-Evidence-Reasoning (CER)SC.3.P.8.1, SC.4.P.8.2, SC.5.P.8.2:

Observe and measure objects by their properties.

Reasoning: (Write a statement that explains why you think your claim or answer to the question is right.)

My school supplies can be classified by their mass, length, shape, texture, and attraction to magnets. As a result of measuring my supplies I learned some are greater in mass than others. For example, two of the five objects had a mass of less than 10 grams compared to the other three objects that were up to 26 grams. Next using my senses of sight and touch, I discovered that I could not sort my objects by texture. They were all smooth and hard. However, the objects could be classified by shape such as regular versus irregular. Some had parts that were magnetic. My evidence supports my claim because objects and materials can be compared to one another based on their observable properties.

Effective Science Strategy

When can the Claims Evidence and Reasoning (CER) strategy be used during

your science lesson?

Department of Mathematics and Science

When can a CER be used?

• Use it to engage in structured, argumentation to explain a scientific concept.

• Use it after an experiment to explain why a hypothesis was proven correct or not.

• Use it to justify an answer choice for a multiple (FCAT type) test question is correct.

• Use it to discuss claims made in videos, commercials, documentaries or news reports.

Department of Mathematics and Science

Claim, Evidence, Reasoning after Viewing a Video, News Report or a Documentary

• What key points did you learn from this video? • What is the scientific explanation? • What vocabulary words are connected to the

lesson? • What is the claim the reporter is making? • What evidence does he or she cite in the

report that supports that claim?
