Activity Title: Solid Can Change

Objective:
Understand how solid changes its physical characteristics, and what affects the
change.
Materials:
A. paper clip, copper wire, soft plastic ruler, rubber slipper, silver spoon
B. modelling clay, ripe banana, block of wood, one piece pandesal, egg shell
C. empty tin can, hammer, block of wood, empty plastic bottle, charcoal
D. pair of scissors, used paper, old shirt, candy wrapper, twig with leaves
Procedure:
1. Set up four stations with one of the suggested activities or demonstrations at
each of the four stations.
2. Introduce the activity and have the students set-up their notebooks to record
observations and make predictions for the stations.
3. Group the pupils into four. Each group will have 3 facilitators to demonstrate
the task given to them. Guide them through each of the activity.
4. The rest of the groupmates will rotate to other station and take note of their
observations.
5. After finishing the four stations, the pupils will sum up their conclusion. Then,
share observations and conclusions as a group.
Activity Questions:
1. What have you noticed in the activity being performed in each station?
2. Does the object change its shape or size?
3. How did the changes appear?
4. What factors affect the change of physical appearances of the object?
Conclusion of the pupils:
Expected answer: In the solid state, the forces between the particles are very strong
such that they are very compact and tightly joined together and cannot freely move, but
can only vibrate. Hence the very definite shape and volume of solids
