Lesson: Flexibility and rigid

Unit Overview
Main Idea (Claim) Summative Assessment

Students will be able to explain the meaning

and characteristics of flexible and rigid
materials.

Guiding Questions Objectives (know/understand/do/value)

- What does flexible mean? - Students will be able to explain the

- What does rigid mean? meaning of flexibility and rigid.
- Why flexible materials can bend and stretch - Students will be able to mention the
and rigid materials cannot? characteristics of flexible and rigid
materials.

Time Instructional Procedures and Strategies

Beginning the Lesson:

- Teacher will ask students to take their science book out.
Collins international primary science
- Review: strength is the capacity of an object to withstand force and
pressure.
15 min Strong materials do not have to be hard to be strong.
- Teacher will play a short dance video, where students have to follow the
actions along.
- Teacher will introduce the lesson and objective.
Lesson: flexibility.
Objective: explain the meaning of flexibility and rigid, and also the
characteristics of each.

Developing the Lesson

- Teacher will ask students to open their book to page 52, and will ask
student to read the first paragraph.
- Teacher will discuss the key words: flexible and rigid.
Flexible: things that can bend, and can come back to the same shape.
15min Rigid: things that cannot bend at all.
- Teacher will pull out an example of a balloon. Teacher will demonstrate
the balloon experiment and will ask students to answer the three questions
from the book and write on the paper provided by the teacher.
a. What is the teacher doing?
b. What happens to balloons when you let air out?
c. Do all stretchy materials go back to the same shape, when you stop
stretching them?
- Teacher will then ask student to read the last paragraph of page 52.
- Teacher display few objects that are flexible and rigid.

Time: 60 min Grade: 3
Flexible: rubber, paper, body, cloth.
20 min Rigid: floor, brick, stone, pen, desk.
- Teacher will give a handout of having 12 questions. They have to
differentiate if it is flexible or rigid. During this time teacher will
distribute students worksheet from previous class.
- Teacher will play the same video again and will ask students to follow
along.

Closing the Lesson:

o Review the lesson:
10 min - Flexible things can bend and rigid things cannot bend.
- Flexible things can come back to shape but rigid things cannot.

Formative Assessment Differentiation

- Short dance/exercise video.

- Question and answer handout for the balloon
experiment.
- Handout: differentiating flexible and rigid.
- Exercise song: I think students like
to move around and jump and play
around. This song will prepare
students mind and help to connect
the topic and song.
- Showing objects: students will not
only read and listen but also touch
and feel the objects.
