Planning notes for this lesson
Prerequisite skills to check: properties of materials such as color, hardness and solubility (5-PS1-3); mixing two or more substances can make a new substance (5-PS1-4); measuring mass and volume; reading a data table.
Warm-up idea: Show a slice of bread next to a piece of dark toast (or a photo of burnt sugar). Ask: is the toast still bread? What evidence would prove that a new substance formed?
Exit ticket idea: Students read a data table of density, melting point, solubility and odor for substances before and after they interact, decide whether a chemical reaction happened, and support the claim with at least two properties that changed.
Always check the AI's plan and answers before you teach.
