LESSON PLAN IN SCIENCE

GRADE 8

I. OBJECTIVES
A. Content Standards:
The learner demonstrate an understanding of
1. The learner’s atomic structure of a substances
B. Performance Standards:
1. Appreciating the importance of atom in their lives
C. Learning Competencies:
The learners should be able to:
1. Determine the charges of electron , neutron and proton
2. Explain the repulsion and attraction
D. Specific objectives
At the end of the lesson, the learners will be able to:
1. Observer the object may attract or repel each other;
2. Infer the object may attract carry positive and negative charges; and
3. Deduce that neutral object contain positive and negative charge

I have here on the board some words. Identify whether it is solid,
liquid or gas.

Motivation
I have here on the board a word hunt. As I call on your name, go in
the board and encircle the word that you found.

Presentation
Now class read the words that you have found in the word hunt. Protons, Atom, Atomic, Particle, and Nucleus

So, class you will encounter this words as we go on with our topic
today.

Grouping of Students
Class, I want you to group yourselves with five members. Then select you Students will group their selves with five members then choose their leader and
leader and reporter in your group. reporter.

Setting of Standards
Class, what are the things that you should remember during your activity? 1. Work quietly.
2. Cooperate with the group.
3. Clean the area after the activity.

Activity
We will now be having an activity this will be done by group you
will be working with the same group during your last activity did you get
 me?
Now copy the activity on your module and follow the procedure. Students will open their book and perform the activity to answer the following
questions.
Answer question 1-4 and write your answer in 1 whole sheet of paper
individually.

Activity 1 “Charge” it to experience!

Objectives:
After performing this activity, you should be able to:
1. observe that objects may attract or repel each other,
2. infer that objects may carry positive and negative charges,
and
1. deduce that neutral objects contain positive and negative
charges
Materials Needed:
meter stick or any meter-long stick
balloons
string
chairs or any stand for the stick
glass (from a picture frame)
cloth (flannel or silk cloth)
Procedure:
1. Inflate the two balloons. Tie each using a length of string. Place the
meter-long stick across two chairs. Suspend the two balloons so that they
hang freely about two inches apart.
2. With each hand holding one balloon, rub the balloons simultaneously
against your hair several times. Let go of the balloons. Observe.

Q1. What happened with the balloons?

Q2. Did the balloons acquire the same charge or different charges? What
made you say so?
 3. Rub the piece of glass with a silk cloth. Bring the piece of glass
between the two balloons. Observe.
Q3. What happened with the balloons?
Q4. Does the glass have a different or same charge as the balloon? What
made you say so?

Now time’s up! Pass your paper in the front.

D. Explain
Discussion
Atom has 3 subatomic particles the proton, neutron and electron. The
proton is the positively charge and can be found inside the nucleus of the
atom. The electron is negatively charge and can be found outside the
nucleus of an atom while the neutron is neutral.

When we say neutral, what does it mean? It means that it can’t be negative nor positive ma’am.
Correct!

It is neither negative nor positive.

Forms the activity that we have done you were to change that object by
rubbing against another object.

Did you enjoy and learn from our activity? Yes ma’am.

What are the things that you have learned? That even a neutral object can have a charge when you rub it to another object
ma’am.
Correct!
E. Elaborate
1. What is a proton? It is a positively charge and can be found inside the nucleus.

2. What is an electron? It is a negatively charge and can be found outside the nucleus.
 3. How can you charge a neutral object? By rubbing them against another object.

4. What is an atom? It is the smallest particle of an element.

F. Evaluation
Get ¼ for a short quiz.
1. What will happen when objects have the same charge? 1. Repel
2. What will happen when objects have the different charge? 2. Attract
3-5. What are the subatomic particles of atom?
3. Proton
4. Electron
6. What charge does proton carry? 5. Neutron
7. What charge does electron carry? 6. Positive
8. What charge does neutron carry? 7. Negative
9. A place where neutron and proton can be found? 8. Neutral
10. It is commonly known as the smallest particle of an element. 9. Nucleus
10. Atom
G. Extend
Class, now get your notebook and copy your assignment on the board. Get their notebook and copy.

A. Draw the Atomic Model in 1 short bond paper.

B. Write the definition of electron, proton, and neutron with their

respective charges.
