Grade 4 Science: Classify Matter Task

The student will design and conduct an experiment to classify a mystery substance provided by their teacher as either a solid, liquid, or gas. As a scientist, the student's goal is to solve the mystery through an experiment that identifies the substance's properties using their senses, except taste. The student will write a lab report for their teacher including a hypothesis, procedure, observations, data, and conclusion to classify the state of the mystery substance. The student may also keep a journal documenting their thoughts and ideas that change during the experiment.

GRASPS Performance Task

UNIT: Matter
SUBJECT: Science – Grades 4
ESSENTIAL QUESTION(s): What role does matter have in the universe?

GRASPS
GOAL Design and perform an experiment effectively to classify the
mystery substance.
You are a scientist and have been given a mystery substance
by your scientist boss (teacher) who has managed to mix up
ROLE all of the labels.
Individual or Group Assignment (Based on student strength
and needs).
AUDIENCE Your scientist boss (Teacher)
SITUATION Solve the mystery by designing an experiment to classify the
mystery substance as either a solid, liquid, or gas. Focus on
identifying properties of matter using your senses (except
taste!).
You will submit your lab report to your scientist boss
(Teacher). It will include the procedure you used to classify
the state of your mysterious substances.
Please include a hypothesis before you begin your
experiment.
PERFORMANCE Please include your observations in a table format and or
explain any patterns that you found.
Finally, you may make an inference/conclusion to classify
the state of the mystery substance.
In your journal, you can write changes that were made to
your original hypothesis during the process of conducting
your experiment as you gathered more information.
STANDARDS Your lab report should include all components (hypothesis,
procedure, observations, data, inference/conclusions).
You will also include a journal where you will write about
your thoughts and ideas (as they may progressively change)
during the experiment.

As per individual needs, students who require assistance will be given a basic
outline of procedures that they might choose to use when designing their
experiment. Also, they can have the option of a few different labels of possible
mystery substances to help them narrow down the classification of the mystery
substance. Students may record, use a scribe, type, or use visuals to create their lab
report as necessary. According to the needs, students may also work in
pairs/groups. Students can predict the identity of the item and inquire into its
properties (boiling point, melting point, freezing point).
