Begin the lesson with a discussion on how we encounter different types of matter every day. Use real-life examples such as toys, food, and clothing to engage students.

Introduce the concept of grouping by showing a collection of colorful objects and asking students how they might sort them.

Explain the different ways to group matter: by color, shape, size, texture, and use. Use simple language and examples.

Watch the video 'What is Matter?' to understand the basic properties of matter, including its states and characteristics.

Conduct a classroom activity where students sort a variety of objects into groups based on color and size.

Watch the video 'Classifying Matter' to reinforce the concept of sorting by demonstrating how to classify objects based on observable characteristics.

Engage students in a tactile activity where they use their sense of touch to identify and sort objects by texture.

Use the 'What's the Secret Object?' assessment to encourage students to describe objects based on texture and shape without seeing them.

Have students independently sort a collection of classroom objects into groups based on their use or function.

Provide the 'Describing Objects' worksheet to help students practice using descriptive language to categorize objects by texture.

Conduct a quick quiz to assess students' ability to identify and group objects based on observable characteristics.

Discuss with students the different ways they grouped objects and what they learned about the properties of matter.

Encourage students to think of new ways to group objects they encounter at home or in the classroom.

Use the 'Sorting and Grouping Objects' assessment to evaluate students' understanding of classification and encourage them to explore multiple ways to organize objects.

For further exploration, have students watch the 'Describing Matter' video to deepen their understanding of how to use their senses to describe and categorize matter.
