Content Standards: The learners demonstrate an understanding of: classifying

substances as elements or compounds

Performance Standards: The learners demonstrate an understanding of: make a

chart, poster, or multimedia presentation of common elements showing their
names, symbols, and uses

Learning Competency: The learners recognize that substances are classified into
elements and compounds.

I. LEARNING OBJECTIVES
At the end of 60 minutes, 95% of the students will be able to:
1. classify substances as elements or compounds;
2. apply the elements and compounds in their daily life; and
3. create a poster of common elements and compounds showing their names,
symbols, and uses.

 Attendance
 Review
 Motivational Activity
 Title of Activity: “Element or Compound?”
 Students will be shown 6 pictures of different materials or substances.
Volunteers will identify each picture if it is an element or a compound.

 Presentation of the learning competencies/objectives

A. Activity
Title of Activity: “Poster chart”
Students will be grouped into 5 groups. Each group will create a poster
chart of 5 common elements and 5 common compounds showing their
names, symbols, and uses. They can refer to their periodic table of
elements. The students will be given 15 minutes to do the task

B. Analysis
The teacher will ask the students to present their outputs of the prior
activity.

During the presentation of outputs, the teacher will then ask questions.
Guide Questions:
1. Why is it considered an element?
2. Why is it considered a compound?
3. How do you differentiate between elements and
compounds?

C. Abstraction
 The teacher will introduce the concept of elements and compounds.


 Elements and compounds are pure chemical substances found in
nature.
 Elements- A substance made of the same type of atoms. They
cannot be broken down into a simpler format. They are
distinguished by a unique atomic number. The elements are
organized by their atomic number in the periodic table, which
highlights elements with similar properties.


 Compounds- Compounds are chemical substances made up of

two or more elements that are chemically bound together in a fixed
ratio. When the elements combine, some individual property of the
elements is lost and the newly formed compound has new
properties.
 After the discussion, the teacher will give an activity.
 Title of Activity: “First man, last man”
 This is a game where the teacher will give students their column or
row number depending on their seating arrangement. If the teacher
says first man, the first one to stand up in the mentioned column or
row number will be the one who will answer the question. And if the
teacher says, last man, the last student who stands up in the
mentioned column or row number will answer the question.
 The question they will be answering will be drawn from the mystery
box. The questions can be repeated.
Questions:
1. Give one example of a compound that you can find in
the environment, and explain what makes it a
compound?

2. What are some common uses of elements and

compounds in everyday life?
3. What have you learned from the lesson?
 After the activity, students will be given the opportunity to ask
questions for clarification.
D. Application
 Title of Activity: “Enumeration”
 In a ½ crosswise, list a total of 5 elements and compounds and
define how they are used in our daily lives in 1-3 sentences.
Students will be given 10 mins to answer.

V ASSIGNMENT
 By group assignment:
 Each group will research a common household item or product, such as
table salt, baking soda, or vinegar, and identify the compounds that make
up the item or product.
 Research and gather information about the properties and uses of each
compound, as well as how they interact with each other to create the final
product.
 Each group member can then share their findings with the rest of the
group and compare the similarities and differences between their assigned
compounds.
 Submit your findings using graphic organizers.
