guide to help the learner manage his/her time.
3. Guide them to understand the topic/ lesson. Begin and end the day by checking on your child’s work
accomplishments.
5. Make sure they have available resource materials necessary to complete all assignments or assigned
tasks. If materials are not available, you can consult the teacher for the possible alternative material.
6. Create positive outlook or attitudes towards school and learning encourage your child to do and
complete his/her task.
7. Be aware of the given submission dates of learning activity sheets, modules or other assignments as
well as the schedule of exams and other school announcements to guide your child to promptly comply.
8. If you have any questions on lessons that you do not understand feel free to message the Science
Teacher through FB messenger or text.
Thank you for your full support. Have a blessed day! God bless us all!

DISCUSSION
Have you ever wondered why milk curdles when vinegar is added to it, or why a sliced of
banana turns brown when exposed to air?
Day-to-day experiences show us how chemical changes take place in our body, around us and
everywhere. The burning of gasoline, rusting of iron, ripening of fruits, tarnishing of silver, baking of bread,
burning of wood and the food making process of plants called photosynthesis are all examples of
chemical changes.

All chemical changes involve chemical reactions. A chemical reaction is a process in which the
properties of the original substances change into new substances with different physical and chemical
properties.
In any chemical reaction, there are always two types of substances: the substances that are present
before the change and the substances that are formed by the change. Substances that enter in the
chemical reaction are called reactants and substances that are produced by the chemical reaction
are called products. Thus, a general description of a chemical reaction can be stated as reactants
changing into products.
Based on the Law of Conservation of Mass matter is neither created nor destroyed therefore in
any chemical reaction the total mass of the reactants must be equal to the total mass of the products.
For mass to remain constant before and after a chemical reaction, the number of atoms of each
element must be the same before and after a chemical reaction.

ACTIVITY 1

Objective:
Write the chemical equation of the given chemical reaction.
Direction:
Write in your answer sheet the chemical equation that describes the chemical reaction in each
passage.

ACTIVITY 2
Objective:
Balance the given chemical equations.
Direction:
Identify which of the following chemical equation is balanced and unbalanced. Write the
word BALANCED if the chemical equation is already balanced and if its not, write the correct
balanced chemical equation in your answer sheet. Write the number of atoms present in the
reactant and product to check if its already balanced.

Example 1: CaO + H2O → Ca(OH)2

Reactant Atom Product Balanced?

1 — Ca ─ 1 1=1, yes
2 —O─ 2 2=2, yes
2 — H─ 2 2=2, yes
Final Answer: Balanced
Example 2: FeS + O2 → Fe2O3 + SO2

Reactant Atom Product Balanced?

1 — Fe ─ 2 1≠2, no
1 —S─ 1 1=1, yes
2 — O─ 5 2≠5, no

Final Answer: 4FeS + 7O2 → 2Fe2O3 + 4SO2

Reactant Atom Product Balanced?

4 — Fe ─ 4 4=4, yes
4 —S─ 4 4=4, yes
14 — O─ 14 14=14, yes
Let’s start….

1. Al + O2 → Al2O3
2. CH4 + O2 → CO2 + H2O
3. NaNO3 → NaNO2 + O2
4. N2 + O2 + H2O → HNO3
5. MgCO3 → MgO + CO2
6. CaCl2 + H2SO4 → 2HCl + CaSO4
7. C2H6 + O2 → CO2 + H2O
8. CaCO3 → CaO + CO2
9. Mg + Zn(NO3)2 → Mg(NO3)2 + Zn
10. Ba(NO3)2 + 2NaOH → Ba(OH)2 + 2NaNO3

ACTIVITY 3
Objective:
Write and balance the chemical equation of the given chemical reaction.
Direction:
Identify first which are the reactant and product then write the balanced chemical
equation.
Also write the number of atoms present in the reactant and product to check if its already
balanced.

Example:
Solid sodium metal reacts with chlorine gas to produce solid sodium chloride.

Reactant Product Na
NaCl
Cl2

Chemical Equation: Na + Cl2 → NaCl

Reactant Atom Product Balanced?

1 — Na ─ 1 1=1, yes
2 — Cl ─ 1 2≠1, no

Since number of Cl atoms is not equal in the reactant and product, you need tomake it
balance.

Balanced Chemical Equation: 2Na + Cl2 → 2NaCl

Reactant Atom Product Balanced?

2 — Na ─ 2 2=2, yes
2 — Cl ─ 2 2=2, yes

LET’S START…

1. Magnesium (Mg) reacts rapidly and dramatically when ignited, combining withoxygen gas (O2)
from the air to produce a fine powder of magnesium oxide (MgO).
2. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) decomposes on heating to yield sodium oxides (Na2O) andwater
(H2O).
3. Zinc (Zn) reacts with hydrochloric acid (HCl)to produce aqueous zinc chloride (ZnCl2)and
hydrogen gas (H2).
4. Iron (Fe) combines with oxygen gas (O2) to form Ferric oxide (Fe2O3).
Carbon dioxide (CO2) reacts with water (H2O) to form carbonic acid (H2CO3).

CHECK YOUR UNDERSTANDING

Direction: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow

People use different types of household products when they clean

but using certain cleaning products together can be dangerous. Many
household cleaning products contain bleach, sodium hypochlorite (NaClO),
and others contain hydrochloric acid (HCl). When these two chemicals are
mixed, water (H2O), sodium chloride (NaCl), and chlorine gas (Cl2) form.
Chlorine gas is a toxic substance that can damage the eyes and lungs.
