1. Motivation
I have here different
substances. (The teacher
shows the substances). The students look on the substances.

I would like to ask 3 volunteers

from the class to group them
into two.

What was your basis for the
grouping of the substances?
2. Discussion
Who can describe an element?
Will you give an example of an
element?
How about the meaning of
compound?
Cite examples of compounds.
3. Generalization
Differentiate element from
compound.
4. Application
Classify the following
substances as element or
compound.
a. Aluminum
b. Salt
c. Water
d. Sulfur
e. Carbon monoxide
5. Valuing
Why are elements and
compounds vital to our daily
existence?
IV. Evaluation
Multiple Choice. Read each statement
Three students volunteer. They group the
substances into two.
We based the grouping according to their
properties as element or compound.
An element is a substance made up of
only one kind of atom.
Hydrogen
Oxygen
Calcium
(Students answer vary).
Compound is a substance formed when
two or more elements combine
chemically.
Carbon dioxide
Sugar
Starch
(Students answer vary).
Element is a substance made up of only
one kind of atom while compound is a
substance formed when two or more
elements combine chemically.
a. Aluminum > element
b. Salt > compound
c. Water > compound
d. Sulfur > sulfur
e. Carbon monoxide > compound
Elements and compounds are vital to our
daily existence because it comprises the
food we eat, the gas that we inhale and
exhale and facilitates our metabolic
processes.
carefully and select the best answer
among the options given.

1. Which of the following is not a

compound?
A. Sugar C. Starch
B. Salt D. Gold

2. Which of the following statements is

true?
A. Elements are composed of two or
more atoms.
B. Elements can change into new
substances when heated.
C. Elements can chemically combine
with other elements.
D. Elements are always found in solid
form. 1. Which of the following is not a
