th
, 2014
English Proficiency Levels: Beg. 1 Int. Low 2 Int. High 3 Adv. 4 Adv. High 5 Other Subgroups: N/A
Content Standards: The learners will:
Science: 1.b.5.(B) predict and identify changes in materials caused by heating and cooling such as ice melting, water
freezing, and water evaporating.
ELA/R: 1.b.2.B; 1.b.3.C.iv; 1.b.4.B; 1.b.4.C; 1.b.10; 1.b.14.B; 1.b.20.B; 1.b.21.C; 1.b.27.A; 1.b.27.B; 1.b.29.

Content Objectives: Identify the different states of matter. Understand why matter changes with temperature. Make
connections with the states of matter and everyday situations. Compare and contrast different states of matter using
real objects.
ELD Standards: ELPS 1.B Monitor oral and written language production and employ self-corrective techniques or
other resources. 1.C Use strategic learning techniques such as compare and contrast to acquire basic and grade level
vocabulary.
Language Objectives: The learners will use these language functions: describe, explain, analyze, and compare while
working with different kinds objects representing different states of matter.
