TOPIC PARTICLE NATURE OF MATTER

GRADE LEVEL 8
TIME ALLOTMENT 60 minutes
Learning Competency and Objective
The students should be able to…
1. Explain the properties of solids, liquids, and gases based on the particle nature of matter
(S8MTIIIa-b-8)

ELICIT
 The students will review their previous lesson about the properties of matter through a game
entitled “Come on and Get Me”. The teacher will play a music a box will roll out, when it stops
pick a question and answer it.
ENGAGE
 The teacher divides the class into three and perform the following dance movements.
 Group 1 – Sweet music

EXPLORE
 Laboratory Activity

EXPLAIN
 Let the students present the data.
 1. Identify properties of solids, liquids, and gases based on the picture of the particle nature of
matter.
 2. Compare and contrast the properties of solids, liquids, and gases based on the particle
nature of matter.

ELABORATE
 The teacher will show PHET simulation about properties of solids, liquids, and gases based on
the particle nature of matter.
EVALUATE
 The students will illustrate the particles of the following objects.
 1. Block of wood
 2. Water in a glass
 3. Hot air balloon
 4. Perfume
 5. Smoke

EXTEND
Make an analogy about the properties of solids, liquids, and gases based on the particle
nature of matter.
