Integrating Science and Literacy: States and Changes of Matter
Download as PPT, PDF2 likes2,607 views
This document summarizes a presentation on integrating science and literacy in elementary classrooms. The presentation discusses common student misconceptions about states of matter and changes between solid, liquid, and gas. It provides classroom activities and resources to effectively teach these concepts, including using formative assessment probes, modeling states of matter, developing science vocabulary, and engaging students with informational texts. The presentation aims to move beyond typical polar science topics to more complex water-related concepts.
