yellow water into container. Read recipe again, have students direct what/how

much needs to be added to follow the recipe. BEFORE adding blue water have

students guess/predict what will happen when the blue water is poured into the

container. Explain hypothesis—an educated guess . Then have students guide

teacher through adding 2 more cups. Ask students as we add the cups “How many

cups of water are in the container now?” “Do we need to add any more water?”

“Why?” Analyze what happened to the water…it turned GREEN. Now decide what

to name the recipe….fill in title (GREEN) on chart paper recipe.

Discuss what we

should do with the water we just made, should we drink it? Explain to students

that some juice is colored and is okay to drink when someone you know gives you

something to drink. Explain other liquids, like cleaning agents, detergents, etc. are

colored because they are poisonous. Explain to class they are NEVER EVER to

drink a liquid that you don’t know what it is, especially if you don’t know where it

came from, or a liquid that you ‘found’.

[SCIENCE CENTER: Let students know that once they are done with their math

assignments the next couple of days they will be able to measure cups of water and

with funnels and containers measure and add water together. Students will do this

activity at the sink, individually or with a partner.]

Have students return to their seats. Hand out Lesson Practice 77. Read recipe.

Color the recipe as directions state. Turn paper over complete adding equations on

back, domino adding. (Adaptation: For students who need reinforcement provide

dominos to match and count dots like in assignment).

While students are completing work measure out 3 cups of cereal per table provide

a large bowl of this cereal at each table to have. Provide a bowl of raisins for

students to scoop one cup out at each table for them to add to their cereal.

Students will get to measure one cup each into a plastic baggie with their name on it

as a snack.

Once all students at each table have completed their paper and its corrected have

each table wash their hands then use measuring cups to make their bowl of cereal.

Each student gets one cup of cereal in a baggie at tables for snack. Monitor

measuring and assist students pour their cup of cereal into baggies to minimize

mess!

DAY TWO~Reinforcing concepts & integrating writing:

The next day explain to students they will be given the opportunity to write the

recipe in their journals that we created together in math using the water. Posting

the recipe, the chart paper that was on display yesterday, students will copy/write

the recipe in their journals. After explaining this to the students so they can work

independently demonstrate the “ZOOMERS” we will be using today to reinforce

that yellow + blue = green. Ask students to remember what happened yesterday

when we combined the blue water with the yellow water. Show the student the

cardboard circles and string they will use today to create a zoomer. Show students
