Activity 4
Title: Focus on Language -States of Matter
Instructions (Part 1)
First, look back at the activities that you just did and add the science words and academic (school) words that you find to one of the columns.
Then, add your own words. Think about words that you would use, but are missing from the table.
Next, click here to go to Thesaurus.com. Put some of the words from the table into the bar at the top of the page. Then, search for synonyms (words that mean the same thing).
Finally, add the science words and academic words that you would like to use to the table.
Want more ideas for words? Visit slide 18.
Instructions (Part 2)
You are going to be looking at pictures related to the states of matter.
1. Look at/read the picture(s).
2. Describe what you see in the pictures. Think about the states of matter that you see and how the pictures show/suggest a change in the state of matter.
- What words will you use for this specific picture? (liquid, solid, insect, change in state)
- What will you say? (The tree releases liquid sap and the insect gets stuck. Over time the sap turns from a liquid state into a solid state.)
