REVIEW:

1. What is matter? - Matter is anything that occupy

space and has mass.
 Exactly! Matter is anything that occupy space
and has mass. Basically, everything around us is
matter from books, ball pen, water, and the air
we breathe are considered Matter.

2. What is matter made of? - Matter is made of atom and

molecules.
 Very Good! 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. Particle consisting of two or more
 atoms combined is called molecule.

3. What are the three states of matter? - The Three states of matter
are, Solid, Liquid, and Gas.
 Very Good! The Three states of matter are, Solid,
Liquid, and Gas.

MOTIVATION:

“PICTURE ANALYSIS”

Direction: Given the three pictures. Picture 1, Picture

2, and Picture 3. I will give you 1 minute to examine
the pictures and write down the details of what you
can see/observe in the pictures.

1 2 3

- Students examine the 3

pictures.

Guide questions:
1. What have you observed in the first
picture? - Students’ answers may vary.
2. How about in the second picture?
3. Can you describe the differences and
similarities of the 3 sample pictures?
4. Do you have any idea of what the pictures
all about?

UNLOCKING OF DIFFICULTIES:
In your math subject you have already learned about
descending and ascending order. When we say
ascending order, it is arranging numbers from smallest
to largest. When we say descending order, it is - Students’ will do the activity

Presentation

- More than 2000 years ago in Greece, a

philosopher named Democritus suggested that
matter is made up of tiny particles too small to
be seen. He thought that if you kept cutting a
 substance into smaller and smaller pieces, you
would eventually come to the smallest possible
particles—the building blocks of matter.
- The students will listen
- Many years later, scientists came back to carefully.
Democritus’ idea and added to it. The theory
they developed is called the Particle models of
the three states of matter. There are four main
ideas in the particle model:

1. All matter is made up of tiny particles.

2. The particles of matter are always moving.
3. The particles have spaces between them.
4. Adding heat to matter makes the particles
move faster.

II. LESSON PROPER

A. ACTIVITY

Let us watch this video clip presentation about the

properties of particle models of the three states of
matter, and after that you are going to draw and
differentiate the properties of particle model of the
three states of matter.
Video Link:

- Students will watch, listen

carefully, and take down
notes.

Activity 1:
Direction: Draw and differentiate the properties of - Students will do the activity
particle model of the three states of matter. in 2 minutes.

B. ANALYSIS

1. How was the activity? - Students’ answer may vary.

2. Using your drawing, differentiate Solid, liquid, - Closely Packed together, close
and Gas State in terms of their particle together and far apart from
arrangement? each other.

 Exactly! The arrangement of solid particles are

closely packed together, liquid particles are close
together while gas particle are far apart from
each other.

3. Based on your drawing, what is the movement

of particles in Solid, Liquid and Gas? - Students’ answer may vary.
 In solid, the particles do not move past each
other. In liquid, the particle can move past each
other while in Gas, the particles can move freely
past each other.

4. Based on the video presented, what happened

when he poured the water inside the - Students’ answer may vary.
container? Why do you think so?

 Very Good! When he poured the water inside the

container the water takes the shape of its
container because Liquid does not have a
definite shape.

5. What is the difference of Gas state from Solid

and Liquid state in relation to their volume?
- Students’ answer may vary.
 Precisely! Solid and Liquid state has a definite
volume while Gas state does not have a definite
volume it also takes the volume of its container.

6. How can you differentiate Solid, Liquid, and

Gas state in terms of the attraction of their - Students’ answer may vary.
particles?

 Exactly! Solid particles are very attracted to each

other, Liquid particles are attracted to each while
Gas particles are barely attracted to each other.

7. Why is it easier to compress a gas state than a

solid or liquid? - Students’ answer may vary.

 Very Good! Gas is easier to compressed than

solid or liquid because there are large spaces
between the particles so, the particles can be
made to come closer to each other.

C. ABSTRACTION

1. How can you differentiate the particles of

matter in Solid, Liquid, and Gas? - Students’ answer may vary.

 Precisely! You can differentiate the properties of

the particles of matter in solid, liquid and gas by
knowing their characteristics/properties such
as, ARRANGEMENT, MOVEMENT, SHAPE,
VOLUME, and the ATTRACTION OF THEIR
PARTICLES.

2. What are the different properties of particles

in Solid state of matter?
- Students’ answer may vary.
- Particles in Solid are closely packed together.
- Particles in Solid do not move past each other.
- Solid has a definite shape and has a definite
volume.
- The particles in Solid are very attracted to each
 other.

3. What are the different properties of Liquid?

- Students’ answer may vary.
- Particles in Liquid are close together.
- Particles in Liquid can move past each other.
- Liquid does not have a definite shape but has a
definite volume.
- The particles in Liquid are attracted to each
other.

4. How about the properties of Gas?

- Students’ answer may vary.
- Particles in Gas are far apart from each other.
- Particles in Gas can move freely past each other.
- Gas does not have a definite shape and does not
have a definite volume.
- The particles in Gas are barely attracted to each
other.

D. Application

1. Can you cite everyday situations that shows

movement of particles of matter? - Students’ answer may vary.

 Examples of everyday situation that shows

movement of particles of matter are as follows:
a. The aroma of food
b. Dried fish in room
c. Cigarette smoke from the outside
d. Fresh painted wall or furniture
e. Mixing spreading of milk in coffee

2. What is the importance of studying the particle

models of the Three States of Matter? - Students’ answer may vary.

 Studying the particle model of the three states of

matter is important because it is very useful for
two reasons. First, it provides a reasonable
explanation for the behavior of matter. Second, it
presents a very important idea that, “the
particles of matter are always moving”. Thus, the
particle model can be used to explain the
properties of solids, liquids, and gases. It can
also be used to explain what happens in changes
of state.

3. How would you relate the particles of matter in

- Students’ answer may vary.
your relationship with your family? Would you
prefer to that of solid, liquid or gas? Why?

 I know that majority of you will prefer “SOLID”.

Because family is always one, we always stick
together even what happened and when
problems will come, we are facing it together. We
are one of the tasks, we are one of the
aspirations. Our family also works together with
such an intense need that comes into our lives.
Family really matters.

Wow! You really learned a lot from our lesson.

lesson. Are you ready for a quiz? This time,
please get a piece of paper then, answer the
