States of Matter Paper Slides

An expectation for 5th grade during our States of Matter unit is to identify and describe all the physical and chemical properties of matter.

Students worked in small groups to select a common item and describe it with as much detail and key vocabulary as they could.  I did not provide a rubric, just their interactive notebooks where they can utilize their vocabulary and write their script.

To display what they have learned, I used one of my favorite Discovery Education SOS lessons; Paper Slide Videos.

Some of the videos had mistakes, however it led to good discussions after viewing them as a class.

After completion, students create a QR code of their video to attach to their interactive notebooks.
