matter. (S8MT-IIIa-b-8)
Sub- tasks:
1. Describe the states of matter and their properties.
2. Classify matter as elements, compound, or mixtures based on the

Key Concepts
● All objects and substances around you contain a certain amount of mterial or
mass and occupy space and volume. Anything that has and volume is matter.
It is composed of tiny particles.
● Matter can have different properties. It can be measured using a balance or a
weighing scale in terms of its mass. The measure of the space occupied by an
object is called volume. Molecule consist of two or more atoms combined
together in a specific arrangement. It can be a combination of atoms of the
same element or of different elements.

● An element is a simplest form of matter, that is composed of only one kind of
atom. It cannot be separated into simpler substance by physical means or
chemical means. Represented with a chemical symbol H, O, He, C. It is further
categorized into two main groups, 1. metals and 2. non-metals. So far, there are
92 naturally occurring elements on Earth, and 25 have been produced
artificially.
Figure 1: Carbon atom
● A compound is a substance containing two or more elements joined together

by chemical bonds. Representing using a chemical formula C6H12O11, NaCl,
H2O.
Figure 2: Water compound made up of hydrogen and

oxygen atoms.
Compounds are governed by the Law of Definite Proportion proposed by
Joseph Proust in 1799. This states that a pure compound always consists of the
same elements combined in the same proportion.
● A mixture contains two or more substances that are not chemically bonded
together. It can be both (a.) heterogeneous mixtures which are made up of
more than one phase or of different parts and can be separated by physical
means. For example, in a mixture of mud and water, the heavier mud
particles settle near the bottom of the container, so the separation of the
components is seen; and (b.) homogeneous mixtures have only one phase, or
have uniform appearance throughout, and any portion of the sample has the
same properties and composition. Example is salt-water solution.

elements, compounds, and
mixtures.

WEEKLY LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET
Science 8, Quarter 3, Week 2
Properties of Solid, Liquid and Gases

Name of Learner: ___________________________ Section: ____________
Learning Objective:
Explain the properties of solids, liquids and gases based on the particle nature
of matter.
Sub- tasks:
5. Describe the states of matter and their properties.
6. Demonstrate phase changes with energy requirement and energy
release. Observe changes of matter in some substances.
7. Use the particulate nature of matter to explain melting, freezing,
evaporation and condensation.
Time Allotment: 3 hours
Key Concepts:
● All matter is particulate in nature which simply means matter is made up of
tiny particles that are in constant and random motion. Democritus named the
particle as atom from atomos meaning “indivisible”. Matter and energy make
up the entire universe, is everything seen and unseen. The amount of mass
and space is important property of matter and usually state this ratio of mass
and volume called density.
● The three states of matter that mainly exists are solid, liquid, and gases.
Solid consist of packed particles and properties includes density, the ratio of
mass per unit volume. Classified as crystalline solids, metallic &
amorphous solids like window glasses. Characteristics of solid includes
malleability the ability to be hammered into thin sheets , elasticity ability to
stretch and return to original position, brittleness ease with which it breaks,
hardness ability to resist scratching and tensile strength resistance to
breaking under pressure.
● Liquids - matter which consists of more loosely packed particles with its
properties such as fluidity, viscosity the resistance of liquid to flow, surface
tension the energy required to increase the surface area of a liquid, surface
tension and capillary action.
● Gases - matter where the particles are so loose, they have no defined form or
volume. One important property of gas is temperature. Gas molecules in
continuous motion and exerts a force over the area known as pressure.

● Phase changes are the transformations from one state of matter to another

due to thermodynamics. Take water for example, as temperature increases,
kinetic energy in particles increase, causing change of state.
● Phase changes that require energy. Heat transfer from an object of higher
temperature to object of lower temperature. Melting, boiling and
sublimation are endothermic reactions energy is transferred from
environment
● Melting – when ice cube is placed in a glass of water it melts because water
has higher temperature than ice, the heat absorbed by the ice is used to break
the hydrogen bonds.
● Vaporization is the process by which a liquid changes to gas or vapor.
Evaporation when vaporization occurs only on the surface of the liquid. The
pressure exerted by the vapor over a liquid is called vapor pressure. Boiling
point when the vapor pressure equals to the atmospheric pressure.
● Sublimation change directly from solid phase to gas phase. Mothballs contain
the compound naphthalene also
sublime and dry ice.
● Phase changes that release energy to the surrounding like the morning dew
and beads of water on the garden seats. Condensation, freezing and
deposition are the methods when energy is released to the surroundings.
Energy is transferred to environment and undergoes exothermic reactions.
● Condensation is the process by which a gas or a vapor becomes liquid. When
hydrogen bonds form in liquid water, energy is released. Condensation is the
reverse of vaporization.

● Freezing is the reverse of melting; the freezing point is the temperature at

which the liquid is changed into crystalline solid
● Deposition a process by which a substance changes from gas to a solid
without first changing to a liquid phase. This is a reverse of sublimation when
water vapor high up in the air changes directly into solid ice crystals, the
snowflakes formed.

REFLECTION:
Matter is everything seen and unseen. It makes up the entire universe. Matter
is made up of very small particles called atoms. The substances that you eat, drink,
breathe, write on, and sit on are all made of atoms. They exist in different forms like
solid, liquid and gas and have its unique properties and characteristics.

understand our environment? [Three (3) to five (5) sentences only]
