This document outlines a lesson plan for a Grade 3 science unit on matter. The lesson focuses on introducing students to solids and having them describe different objects based on characteristics like shape, color, texture, and size. Students will go on a field trip in the school garden to observe and list objects. They will then discuss how they identified the objects and what makes them similar or different. The lesson concludes with students describing objects in different areas and drawing labeled objects from their bedroom.
