Begin the lesson by discussing the concept of matter with students, emphasizing that everything around us is made of matter, which has mass and volume.

Engage students with a question: 'Can you name some things around you that are made of matter?'

Explain the concept of mass and volume using real-life examples. Use a balance to demonstrate how mass is measured and compare different objects.

Introduce the tools used for measuring volume, such as measuring cups and cylinders, and explain how they help determine the space matter occupies.

Watch the video 'What is Matter?' to reinforce the understanding of matter, mass, and volume with demonstrations.

Discuss the video content with students and encourage them to identify examples of matter in their environment.

Conduct an activity where students use a balance to compare the mass of various classroom objects. Have them record their observations.

Provide measuring cups and have students measure the volume of different liquids, recording their findings.

Assign students to find objects at home that have mass and volume and describe them in a short paragraph.

Encourage students to use a simple balance or scale at home to measure the mass of household items.

Ask students to explain the difference between mass and volume in their own words.

Use a quick quiz to assess students' understanding of the concepts of mass and volume.

Have students share their findings from the independent practice and discuss any challenges they faced.

Reflect on the lesson by asking students what new information they learned about matter.

Use the 'What Is Matter?' assessment to evaluate students' understanding of the concept of matter.

For further exploration, students can complete the 'Comparing the Mass of Solids' assessment to deepen their understanding of mass.
