4. Procedures
4.1 Introductory Activity
Videoclip presentation entitled THE ATOMS FAMILY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Le9a8C0Pk2c
2 minutes

4.2 Activity Group Activity Divide the class into groups, within 10 minutes each group will create a timeline on the
theories on the development of atoms and matter. The output will be presented through reporting. Each
group will present the output of the activity through reporting. Criteria for the presentation of the activity 10
pts - maximum participation of the members of the group -all the theories of the development of atoms in
matter are present in the timeline - publish the result on time 8 pts- one or two members of the group did
20 minutes not participate -2 theories of development of the atoms in matter are not found - publish the result 5
minutes late 5 pts.-three or more members in the group did not participate - 3 theories of the
development of atoms in matter are not found - publish the result 8 minutes late

4.3 Analysis
Based on the theory in the timeline development of an atom in matter, what does matter made of?
10 minutes

4.4 Abstraction

Almost 2,500 years ago, Leucippus and his disciple, Democritus believed that nature consisted of two
things, “atoms and the void that surrounds them” (Knieram, 1995-2013). They believed that “atoms are
physically, but not geometrically, indivisible.” For Democritus, atoms are indestructible and completely full,
so there is no empty space. Both Leucippus and Democritus had the idea that there are many different
kinds of atoms and each of them had specific shape and size and that all atoms move randomly around in
space. However they did not give an explanation for the motion of atoms. (Knieram, 1995-2013).
Democritus believed that any piece of matter can be divided and subdivided into very small particles but
that this process ended at some point when a piece is reached that could not be further divided. He called
this particle, atomos, a Greek word which means indivisible particle. Democritus’ ideas about the atom were
later challenged by other Greek philosophers, most strongly by Aristotle.

The idea of the atom was not further explored until a little over two centuries ago when John Dalton
presented concrete evidence that all matter is made of very small particles called atoms. An atom is the
smallest particle of an element that has all the properties of the element.

4.5 Application
Since atom is very small and it is invisible to our naked eye, what instrument are you going to use to make it
8 minutes visible?

4.6 Assessment
Tests performance task base on the rubrics given
8 minutes
4.7 Assignment Enhancing / improving the day’s
lesson
How is pointilism related to matter being composed of tiny particles?
2 minutes
4.8 Concluding Activity
No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.
