      <title>I mean, start by having the students DO something.  Have them experience something.  Then you have something that you can refer back to throughout the lesson</title>

      <title>Give the experience to the students!  You already know what solids, liquids, and gases are - let them experience it!</title>

      <description>And how about instead of doing demonstrations, have stations and have the students do the demos themselves?  This would be much more powerful experiential learning!</description>

      <title>Start with a shared experience - this builds common background knowledge for all and is particularly beneficial to ELs</title>

      <description>I love this demonstration!  This will really make the point for them.  Here's a radical idea...what if you did the demos first (one for each of solid, liquid, and gas), assigned the words solid, liquid, and gas, and THEN showed the video? It makes it more inquiry-based and requires a much higher level of thinking.  By showing them the video first you are giving them the answers before they have the experiences.  It's more powerful to have the experiences first and talk about the concepts and the defining characteristics of each of the states of matter.</description>
