Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity
C. INTRODUCTI Today you will be learning about the states of
ON matter.
Did you know that everything in our lives is
made up of matter. It includes air we breath,
the clothes we wear, the books we read, the
foods we eat, etc.
Do you know what is three states of matter? No ma’am.
(The teacher will list the three states of
matter on the board.)
D. Discussion Before we go there, first we will define the
word molecule. Molecule are what is in all
matter. Molecules are the smallest possible
amount of a substance.
Now, what is solid? The students will answer.
Very Good !!
Solid is something that keeps its own shape
because the molecules are packed tightly
together.
Examples are: Books, Chair etc.
Will you give me an example? Stone, pencil, paper, etc.
Very Good!!
Okay! So how about the Liquid? The students will answer.
What is liquid?
Always remember that a liquid is something
that doesn't have its own shape because the
molecules are more loosely packed together.
Liquids take the shape of whatever container
they are put in.
Will you give me an example of a liquid? Water, Juice, Coffee etc.
Very Good!!
Now let’s move on to Gas. The students will answer.
What is gas?
A Gas has no particular shape because the
molecules are spaced apart and move around
freely. They move around and can fit any
container they're put in. Like air, air is made
of gases, gas usually can't be seen.
Now I have a question.
Can a solid turn into a liquid? Yes/No ma’am.
Did you know that a cube of ice can turn into Yes/No ma’am.
a liquid with heat?
( The teacher will place a cube of ice in warm
water, and students will observe it for 5
minutes.) Show your students how the ice is
starting to melt.
Okay! So now I have a question again.
Can liquid turn into a gas? Yes/No ma’am.
(The teacher will demonstrate the change in
the state of matter by placing a glass of water
in a microwave. Set the microwave to 3
minutes. Take out the cup and show students
that the bubbles formed on top of the water
consist of gas.)
Any question about our lesson? The students will answer.
IV.EVALUATION
1.GUIDED PRACTICE The teacher will ask students to complete the
Solid, Liquid, Gas worksheet with a partner.
2.INDEPENDENT The teacher will ask the students to complete
WORKING the What is Solid?, What is Liquid?, and What
is Gas? worksheets.
V.DIFFERENTIATION The teacher will instruct the students to
complete the Drawing Solids, Liquids, and
Gases worksheet.
The teacher will help them come up with
examples for each state.
(This worksheet will give students a visual
about the three different categories.)
VI.ASSESSMENT The teacher will ask the students to give an
example of a time when a solid can change
into a liquid.
Have them explain when a liquid can change
into a gas.
VII.ASSIGNMENT The teacher will instruct the students to
research what would happen to their body
without liquids.
Ask your students to research and explain 2
things that would happen to the Earth if it
weren't solid.
write down the answers on a sheet of paper.
