Water & Liquids Lesson Plan

This lesson plan is intended to provide the students with the essential components they will need for future lessons on the concept of matter. This lesson is the introduction of water and liquids which is a basic concept of matter. The students will participate in a number of hands on activities as well as lecture about the topic and also some videos to introduce each of the activities. The teacher will demonstrate simple concrete activities in front of the class in which the students will observe from their seats. This lesson is solely about liquids and will be the first step in teaching the young learners about matter and its components. This lesson provides the students with auditory, visual, and hands on activities so each of the learners are benefiting from it.

Here is our link to our complete lesson plan.
