Begin the lesson by discussing the importance of observing the properties of matter. Engage students by asking them to describe objects around them using sight and touch.

Introduce the concept of texture by having students feel different objects and describe their textures. This will set the stage for understanding properties of matter.

Explain the properties of matter using visual aids and examples. Discuss how shape, size, and color can help identify and compare objects.

Use the video 'Describing Matter' to illustrate how to identify properties such as shape, size, color, and texture using our senses. This video encourages active participation and sensory exploration.

Guide students through a hands-on activity using a simple balance to measure and compare the masses of objects. This reinforces the understanding of mass as a property of matter.

Discuss and classify objects based on their visual properties using the video 'Classifying Matter'. This video helps students understand classification and sorting based on observable characteristics.

Have students classify objects around the classroom into groups based on their properties such as texture, color, and size. Encourage them to use their senses of sight and touch.

Use the 'Classifying Solid Matter' assessment to engage students in sorting tasks and group discussions. This activity helps assess their understanding of classification and observation skills.

Assign students to observe and record the properties of various objects at home, focusing on texture, color, and size.

Use the 'Observing Liquids' assessment to have students explore the properties of liquids through hands-on activities. This worksheet assesses their understanding of liquid properties.

Conduct a class discussion to review the properties of matter and ensure students can distinguish objects based on their visual and tactile properties.

Use the 'What Is Matter?' assessment to test students' understanding of the states of matter and their ability to identify different types of matter.

Have students reflect on what they learned about the properties of matter. Encourage them to share their observations and insights with the class.

Use the 'Review – Properties of Matter' assessment to reinforce key concepts and encourage hands-on exploration of material properties.

Administer the unit quiz to assess students' comprehension of the properties of matter.

Encourage students to explore further by designing and building an object, focusing on selecting suitable materials for its function. This activity assesses their understanding of material properties and the engineering design process.
