OBJECTIVES:
Students will:
1. Be able to describe the properties of solids, liquids, and gases
2. Use technology to share what they’ve learned.
MATERIALS:
1. Plastic Ice Cubes that can be frozen
2. Water- cup and other containers
3. Pot you plug in and boil
4. Computer lab, computers, laptops or iPads
VOKI TOOLS:
1. Voki.com: (http://www.voki.com), Voki app, Voki Classroom, Voki Presenter
2. How to Make a Voki Support Guide: http://www.voki.com/site/support
3. How to use Voki Presenter Support Guide: http://www.voki.com/site/support
PROCEDURES:
1. Tell students that today they will be learning about the states of matter – solid, liquid and gas.
2. Show the students water in the three states of matter—an ice cube (solid -when you freeze water), water (liquid- when the ice cube melts), and water boiling in a pot- the “pot” I will plug in and turn the switch to boil in which steam/gas will be displayed (gas- when you heat water).
3. Ask students to share their observations about each state of water. Record the qualities of each state of matter on the board.
ACTIVITIES:
1. Have students create a Voki character. Ask students to have their Voki character explain the qualities of each state of matter.
2. Have students share their Vokis in pairs, small groups, or as a ticket out the door.
We're sorry, Voki requires IE version 11 or higher, and also works great with other browsers!
Voki avatars are the educational tool adopted by millions of teachers across the world that allows user to create their own talking characters.
Voki also offers a cloud based classroom management and presentation tools that provide teachers and students with:
- Readily available edtech tools to increase students' levels of engagement, motivation, parcipitation and learning
- Offers students a wider range of activities to address different learning styles
- Creates richer, more contextualized learning experiences that lead to greater internalization and retention of lesson material
