The teacher will teach a lesson on the different physical properties of matter. The class will be given a bowl with M&Ms, pretzels, raisins, juice, marshmallows, and gummy bears. The teacher will pass out an activity sheet and ruler to each student. The students will be instructed to observe and measure the matter (food) before they eat the matter and to record their results. The students will observe the smell, color, weight, texture, and taste. After the students record all their data, the class will go over their observations.

Questions to ask throughout the lesson:

• Why is matter important to everyday life?
• What are three stages of matter?
• Can you give me an example of an object that can be a solid, liquid, and gas in the same day?
