Original Prompt

Create another version of this worksheet for a student with an IEP who is at 4th grade level.

This learning resource focuses on the concept of how heat affects the states of matter. It includes a structured exit ticket for students to demonstrate their understanding through the Claim, Evidence, and Reasoning (CER) framework. The objective is to enable students to make claims about particle behavior when heat is added or removed, particularly observing changes in states from solid to liquid and liquid to gas. Students will engage with a virtual simulation, gathering evidence to support their claims using specific observations related to particle movement, temperature changes, and the application of correct vocabulary. A sample exemplar response is provided to illustrate expectations, along with a scoring rubric to assess student understanding in a supportive manner, accommodating diverse learning needs.
