GENERAL CHEMISTRY I
Prepared by: ERICKSON F. DEL MUNDO, LPT (CALOOCAN CITY SCIENCE HIGH SCHOOL)

I. OBJECTIVES
The learners demonstrate an understanding of the properties of matter and its
A. Content Standards
various forms
The learners design using multimedia, demonstrations, or models, a
B. Performance Standards representation or simulation of any of the following: a. atomic structure b. gas
behavior c. mass relationships in d. reactions
describe and/or make a representation of the arrangement, relative spacing, and
relative motion of the particles in each of the three phases of matter
STEM_GC11MP-Ia-b-2
C. Learning Competencies/ 1. differentiate solid, liquid and gaseous states in terms of the following: (a)
Objectives
Write the LC code for arrangement of molecules (b) spacing of molecules (c) motion of molecules
each 2. demonstrate cooperation through group activities
3. simulate the arrangement, movement and spacing of molecules in solid, liquid
and gaseous phase through a simple choreography

IV. PROCEDURES
A. Reviewing previous Distribute KWL charts to each group of students. Instruct the students to write
lesson or presenting the what they know about phases of matter in the KNOW column and what they know
new lesson
about phases of matter in the WHAT column.
B. Establishing a purpose
for the lesson

KNOW WHAT LEARN

C. Presenting
examples/instances of
the new lesson Afterwards, ask the students to post their work on the board. Check for the
similarities of what their answers in the know and what column. Point out the
“macroscopic” characteristics of matter they wrote such as definite shape,
compact, takes the shape of container and other macroscopic characteristics they
may present. Tell the students that the lesson will focus on the characteristics of
matter in the molecular level.

I. Evaluating learning
GENERAL CHEMISTRY I
Distribute manila paper, writing materials and activity sheet to each group. Ask the
students to run the PHEt Simulation States of Matter in their android phone or run
the simulation in http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/states-of-matter. Ask
them to fill the table of characteristics of an atom or a molecule assigned to their
group in its solid, liquid and gaseous phase by observing the arrangement, spacing
and movement of molecules depicted in the interactive simulation
ATOM OR MOLECULE:
PHASE OF ARRANGEMENT SPACING OF MOVEMENT OF
MATTER OF MOLECULES MOLECULES MOLECULES
SOLID
LIQUID
GAS
Ask the students to post their work on the board and assign two representatives
from their group to present their work. Discuss the characteristics of the phases of
matter they have presented and synthesize their answers
Regroup the students to three. Ask the students to prepare a three-minute
choreography to simulate the arrangement, spacing and movement of molecules in
solid, liquid and gaseous phase.
 Thumbs up, thumbs down
 Ask the students to fill up the LEARN column in the KWL chart by writing what
they have learned about the lesson.
 Rubrics for Simulation
Criteria Evident (5) Not Evident (3)
Simulation clearly and
concisely depicted the
concept that needs to be
depicted.
Simulation showcased
the creativity and talent
of the presenters

Teamwork and
cooperation is seen in
the simulation activity.
Simulation was done in
the span of three
minutes

J. Additional activities for

Ask the students to draw a diagram showing the arrangement and spacing of
application or
remediation molecules in the solid, liquid and gaseous state
