Self-Learning Module 8

Phase Change of
 Matter

Introductory Message
For the facilitator:

Welcome to the Science 8 Self-Learning Module 8 on Phase Change of Matter!

This Self-Learning Module was collaboratively designed, developed, and
reviewed by educators from the Schools Division Office of Pasig City headed by its
Officer-in-Charge Schools Division Superintendent, Ma. Evalou Concepcion A.
Agustin, in partnership with the City Government of Pasig through its mayor,
Honorable Victor Ma. Regis N. Sotto. The writers utilized the standards set by the K to
12 Curriculum using the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELC) in developing
this instructional resource.

This learning material hopes to engage the learners in guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Further, this also aims to help learners
acquire the needed 21st century skills especially the 5 Cs, namely: Communication,
Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking, and Character while taking into
consideration their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the
body of the module:
 Notes to t h e Teacher
This c ontains helpful tips or strategies
that will help you in g u iding the learners.

As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this
module. You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to
manage their own learning. Moreover, you are expected to encourage and assist the
learners as they do the tasks included in the module.

For the Learner:

Welcome to the Science 8 Self-Learning Module 8 on Phase Change of Matter!

This module was designed to provide you with fun and meaningful opportunities

 EXPECTATION
Usually, solids are denser than liquids because their molecules are closer. Water
is an important exception to this rule. Water’s unique quality. Water changes to ice, it
changes to vapor and this water vapor changes to water again. What type of change
does it undergoes?
For this lesson, we will be studying the Phase Change of Matter.
At the end of the lesson, learners are expected to:
1. enumerate and discuss the different physical/phase changes in matter
(evaporation, condensation, sublimation);
2. trace the path of changes and describe possible signs on the occurrence of
physical and chemical changes; and
3. appreciate the practical applications of physical and chemical changes.

from________.
A. the air C. the lemonade

LESSON
What is a phase change? Phase change is a change from one state of matter
(solid, liquid, gas, plasma) to another. Phase changes are physical changes because, it
only affects physical appearance, not chemical make-up.
What happens during a phase change? During a phase change, heat energy is
either absorbed or released. Heat energy is released as molecules slow down and move
closer together. Heat energy is absorbed as molecules speed up and expand.
Energy is either absorbed or released during a phase change. Endothermic reaction
occurs if the system absorbs energy from its surroundings; energy goes IN, examples;
baking bread, producing sugar by photosynthesis, evaporation of water, etc.
Exothermic reaction occurs if the system releases energy to its surroundings: energy
goes OUT. ”Exo”, think of “exit”, examples of exothermic are making ice cubes,
condensation, nuclear fission, rusting iron, etc.
How to recognize a phase change? Take note, that by just merely measuring the
temperature of a substance as it is heated, or cooled temperature of a substance DOES
NOT change during a phase change.
The six ways to change the phase (state) of matter:
 Melting changes, a solid to liquid. Molecules speed up, move farther apart, and
absorb heat energy. (i.e. dripping icicles)
Freezing changes a liquid to solid. Molecules slow down, move closer together
and release heat energy. (i.e. lake freezing over)
Evaporation turns liquid to gas on the surface of a liquid (occurs at all temperatures).
Molecules speed up, move farther apart, and absorb heat energy.
(i.e. clothes drying on a clothesline)
Condensation transforms gas to liquid. Molecules slow down, move closer
together and release heat energy. (i.e. water forming on the outside of a cold glass)
Sublimation changes a solid gas. Molecules speed up, move farther apart, and
absorb heat energy. (i.e. ice cubes shrinking in the freezer)

Figure 1: Sublimation of Dry Ice

Deposition changes a gas to solid. Molecules slow down, move closer together
and release heat energy. (i.e. frost forming on the windows)
These changes occur at specific temperatures for different substances.
Scientists refer to these as melting points, freezing point, condensing point, and
boiling point. Water’s melting point is 0°C (32 ºF), while its boiling point is 100°C.
 Figure 2: The Earth Endlessly Recycles Our Water Supply.

This is an important feature of water; surface water is evaporated from the

earth through the energy of the sun. The water vapor shapes clouds in the sky.
Changing the temperature and weather conditions, the water vapor condenses and
drops to the earth as different types of precipitation. Some
precipitation runs from high areas to low areas on the earth’s exterior. This is known
as surface runoff. Other precipitation seeps into the ground and is stored as
groundwater. Groundwater is water that saturates the gaps between rocks and soil
particles underground, in much the same way as water fills a sponge. Groundwater
begins as precipitation and absorbs into the ground where it is deposited in
underground geological water systems called aquifers. Sometimes groundwater feeds
springs, lakes, and other surface waters or is drawn out of the ground by humans. The
water then can evaporate, form clouds, and return to the earth to begin the cycle over
again.
