Unit Name _ Grade Level/Course

__Unit Writers__ Christina Mull, Evelyn Mendiola **Learning Target(s)** //(content focus of unit)// TSW distinguish between unsaturated, saturated, and supersaturated solutions TSW investigate how crystals form. TSW design a plan showing factors that affect solubility. TSW apply appropriate units of measure and convert measures in problem solving situations. TSW use dimensional analysis to convert rates and measurements pertaining to systems. TSW check the appropriateness of a solution.



**Standards:**

**Assessment(s)** //(How will you determine if students have met the standards? How will you know what the students have learned? Incorporate formative as well as summative assessments.)//
 * **1.**Did the solution form crystals and which solution produced the largest and most colorful crystals. ||
 * **2.**The students will be videotaped while making the crystals and a judge will come in to determine the winner. The winner will then be presented on KNN. ||
 * **3.**The student will submit a plan prior to beginning that will will list the materials they choose, the process, and why they chose this. ||
 * **4.** ||

**Instructional Plan** //(List in sequential order of teaching, include components of explicit instruction, inquiry-based learning, technology/engineering cycle.)//
 * I****. Overview/Review/Set** //(Objectives stated and explained; Prior knowledge activated; Learning related to real-world; Review of any pre-requisite skills; Capture of students’ interest through use of hands on/minds on activities, discrepant events, demonstrations, read-aloud books, probes, inquiry challenge)//
 * 1.TSW create the biggest and most colorful crystal to be used on the homecoming queens crown. ||
 * 2.TSW design their own plan given design constraints including: type of sugar, hot or cold water, distilled or tap water, string or stick for the crystals to form on, the amount of water, and time. ||
 * 3.TSW be judges and videotaped so the winner is broadcast on KNN. ||
 * 4. ||

5.Composition of a solution- bring examples, sand and water lab? 6. Unsaturated, saturated, supersaturated ||
 * II. Presentation** //(Teacher models or demonstrates skill, concept, or content using several visual/concrete examples; Content presented in logical sequence; Explanations are clear and concise; Teachers asks different levels of questions including higher order with sufficient wait time)//
 * 1."Is it Matter?": TSW be given a list of things and will determine if its matter and explain why. ||
 * 2.Physical/Chemical properties- "Edible Candle," lab to identify volume, mass, and density. ||
 * 3.States of Matter- labs "Is it Melting?", "Ice Cubes in a Bag" ||
 * 4.Pure Substances- distilled water vs. coke, card sort to identify diagrams, words, or formulas as compound, element, or mixture.


 * III. Guided Practice** //(All students actively engaged; Minimal teacher talk; Teacher monitors and gives feedback and/or reinforcement; Teacher re-teaches as necessary; Brisk pace with varied format or presentation.)//
 * 1.Labs, class activities(card sorts) ||
 * 2. ||
 * 3. ||
 * 4. ||


 * Closure **// (Can occur before or after independent practice; Includes review, summary, preview/anticipation set, exit card, etc.) //
 * 1.Judging who made the biggest and most colorful crystal. ||
 * 2.6+1 writing trait on the project ||
