Brianna Twohig
& Tim Stein
GLCE: E.FE.02.13 – Describe the
properties of water as a liquid
(visible, flowing, shape of
container) and recognize rain,
dew, and fog as water in it’s
liquid state.
Previous Knowledge: Students should
already know that water can be solid,
liquid, or gas.
Engage
Let’s Make Rain
Materials: Glass of very hot water,
disposable aluminum pie pan with cold
water and ice, and newspapers.
1) Place jar of hot water on top of
newspapers.
2) Place cold water and ice in pie pan.
3) Place pie pan over jar and see what
happens.
Explore
1) Split students up into pairs.
2) Give each pair a cup filled with water
and an empty cup of a different size and
width.
3) Ask students to describe what they can
see, feel, taste, and smell and write down
a list of their describing words.
4) Now ask students what they think will
happen if they pour their cup of water
into the empty cup of a different size and
shape.
5) Now ask students again, to pour their
cup of water into the empty cup slowly
and describe the motion of the water.

see it in all forms.

or runs smoothly.
