Teacher’s Activities Student Activities
A. Recall
Yesterday, you’ve learned about the first state of Gas is a state of matter with
matter which is gas. Class, can anyone define what particles that are very loosely
gas is? What are the properties of gas? packed which makes it move
very fast.
Gas has no definite shape and
volume, diffuse easily, flows,
can be compressed and exerts
pressure.
B. Motivation
Today, we will discuss about liquids. The students will answer by using a
concept map.
Let us start with what you know.
What comes into your mind when you hear the word
liquid?

C. Development of the lesson

Based from the words that you have given, can you Liquid is a state of matter
now define what a liquid is? which may be clear or colored
and is characterized by
wetness. Some of its examples
are water and milk.
Now, let us talk about its properties. of activities that we will be
conducting.
For that, we have prepared some materials for a series
For the first activity, we have here some oil, water, and
a bowl.
May I ask for two volunteers in the class to do the
activity?
What you need to do is to pour the water and oil in
separate bowls slowly.
(The two volunteers will go in
Guide questions: front.)
What you observe about the flow of water? Oil?

Why do you think the water flowed faster than the oil?
The water flow faster than the
oil.
Yes, that’s right and that is what we call a liquid’s
viscosity. Viscosity is the resistance to flow. The It is because the oil is
stronger the molecular attraction, the more viscous a somewhat syrupy.
liquid is.
Did water take the shape of the container?
How about the oil, did it take the shape of the container,
too?
As you observed in the activity, liquids can flow out of a Yes, Ma’am/Sir.
container and can be poured into another while
maintaining their volume. This happens because there are Yes, Ma’am/Sir.
attractions among the particles of liquid which hold them
together although not in fixed positions. These attractions
also make it possible for liquids to have a definite volume.
Hence, we can say that liquids have the ability to flow and
can have a definite volume.
Is that clear to you class?
Now, let’s proceed to our next activity. Again, may I ask a
volunteer from the class?
We have here a dye and a glass of water. What you need Yes, teacher.
to do is to drop a small amount of dye in a glass of water.
(A selected volunteer will go

Good. The particles of liquid are loosely-packed which

makes the color of the dye spread slowly. The color of the dye slowly

For the third activity, we have a glass of water and a razor

blade. All we need to do is to place the razor blade on the
surface of the water carefully and observe what will molecules in the interior of a

results as surface tension. Surface tension is a
phenomenon in which the surface of a liquid, when the
liquid is in contact with gas, acts like an elastic sheet (The student will go in front and

Do you have any question class? It floated in the water, ma’am/sir.
Ok then, let’s now proceed to our next activity. I need two
boys to do the activity. Let us have some boys at the back.
In this activity, one of the student will place a thin straw in
a juice drink.
Meanwhile, the other student will submerged the tip of a
paper in water.
Guide question:
What happened to the water when the straw was placed in
the glass? When the tip of the paper was submerged?

None, Ma’am/Sir.

(The boys will go in front and

That property of water is what we call capillary action or

capillarity. Capillarity is the movement of water up the
tubes called capillary tubes. That was presented in the
straw in a glass of water activity. In nature ad everyday
life, this thin tubes are not always obvious which is in the
case of the paper submerged in water.
For the last activity, may I ask a volunteer from the class?
Get a glass and pour some alcohol in it. Observe what will
happen after some time. The water moved up the straw
even without doing something.
Meanwhile, put some alcohol in the palms of your hand.
The water slowly went up the
Guide questions: paper and turned it wet.
What happened to the volume of the alcohol in the
container? In your palm?
What did you feel as the alcohol slowly disappears from
your hand?

(A selected volunteer will go

in front.)

It disappeared.

I feel cooled.

Ma’am/Sir, I think it went to

the air.
Where do you think might be the alcohol go when it
disappeared?
Why did you say so? You got it right!
The reason behind the disappearance of the alcohol as well
as the cooling of the palms is evaporation or we can call it
vaporization.
Ma’am/Sir, I think it undergo
Now, can you define what evaporation is? through a process called
That’s right. evaporation.

Evaporation or vaporization is the transformation of a

liquid into a gas. If vaporization takes place in an open
container, as in the alcohol in the cap, the molecules
diffuse away from the surface of the liquid and evaporate.
Since molecules with most energy (fast moving) escape Evaporation is the process by
and molecules with less energy are left behind, the which liquid goes to the air
remaining, liquid becomes slightly cooler than the and is transformed into a gas.
surroundings. That is why evaporation has a cooling
effect.
Did you get it class?

D. Generalization
(Done through a class recitation.)

What is liquid?

Clearly, Ma’am/Sir.

What are the properties of liquid?

Liquid is a state of matter

which may be clear or colored
and is characterized by
What is diffusion? wetness.

The properties of liquid are ability

to flow, has a definite volume,
What is surface tension? surface tension, diffusion, capillary
action, and evaporation or
vaporization.

Diffusion is a property of liquid I

which particles of water move
What is evaporation? around each other.

Surface tension is a phenomenon

in which the surface of a liquid,
when the liquid is in contact with
gas, acts like an elastic sheet
covering the interior.

Evaporation or vaporization is
the transformation of a liquid
into a gas. It happens when the
particle of the liquids escaped
into the air.
 Very good class! I think you’re now ready to take a
short quiz. Keep your things away from your desk.
Only ball pens and the test papers are on your desk.

(The teacher will distribute the test papers.)
