Non-implemented Learning Experience Plan
Name: Mary Fahey
Lesson Title: Experts of Matter
Date: Non-implemented Lesson
Grade Level: Preschool
Circle one:
ECE
PKSN
Standard(s)/Guideline(s): Domain: Cognition and General Knowledge, Strand: Science Inquiry and Application, Topic: Inquiry, Standard: Identifies patterns and
relationships.
Pre-assessment of current knowledge: At this point, the students will have been learning about matter and will have completed a hook lesson as well as four
different lesson plans about matter. Therefore, as the teachers, my partner and I will have hoped that the students understand the difference between solids and
liquids, that mater can change states (i.e. liquid to solid or solid to liquid), and that some types of matter can change shape.
Instructional Objectives (1-2)
One/Two Assessed Instructional
Objective(s): The student will be
able to...
The student will be able to
listen to each speaker and
then take the information
from one career and apply
to it a drawing to show how
matter is used within that
career.
One Assessed Developmental
Skill:
The student will be able to
understand the
relationship between each
speakers occupation and
how they work with matter.
Safety Considerations:
There are no safety
considerations for this
lesson.
Learning Experience
Academic Language:
No new academic language will be used in this
lesson that has not been used, explained, and
discussed in previous lessons.
Procedural steps:
Before this class period, the teacher will have
scheduled experts of matter to come in and discuss
their jobs to the class. So, a construction worker
(builder), an architect, an art teacher, or a chef will be
some of the career personal the teacher will ask to
come into the classroom.
Each person will individually discuss their career role
to the students, focusing mostly on how they work
with matter. So, the construction worker could talk
about how he or she builds with wood (solid) and the
art teacher could talk about the different ways she
uses a variety of paints (liquids).
Each person will be asked to bring in an object or
objects related to their career that is an example of
matter. These objects will be passed around or
observed by the students during the adults
explanation of their career.
After each person gives their speech to the students,
we will discuss as a class the types of matter each
person works with in their career.
After this discussion, the students will then go to their
assigned tables and draw a picture of themselves
using matter in one of the occupations that was
presented by a speaker or another occupation that
they can think of that involves matter.
