This document outlines a lesson plan for teaching fifth grade students about the three states of matter over the course of a week. The plan includes introducing each state of matter on different days through examples, activities, and hands-on learning. Students will use computers and educational apps or websites to research the states and practice identifying different materials as solids, liquids, or gases. The overall objective is for students to be able to recite and describe the three states of matter with 95% accuracy by the end of the week through multi-sensory learning experiences.

Analyze learner  The learners are a fifth grade class.  There is 8 boys and 7 girls in the class.  They may not be all the same type of learners, so to make sure that every learning style is met tons of different activities will be present.  None of the students have exceptionalities and all are your average fifth grader!
Main Objective  Students will recite and describe all of the states of matter within a week with 95% accuracy.  This will be done through research and on hands activities to understand the different types of matter.  For example, the class will be given different items and will be asked to tell what state of matter the item may be in.
Day by Day Breakdown Friday: Give examples and do activities where you decide which state of matter something is in. Thursday: Learn about the 3rd state of matter: gas. Go over what it is in class. Wednesday: Introduce the second state of matter: liquid. Give examples and learn about what it is. Monday: Introduce and go over what matter really is. States of Matter Tuesday: Go over the first state of matter: solid. Talk about what it is.
Use of Technology    The students will be able to use computers and school safe websites to understand the different states of matter. If Ipads are available to the classroom, students will look at different apps that include states of matter and how to figure out which is which. Technology is key to our future education, so it is important to include the use of technology at younger ages.
