Detailed Lesson Plan in Science 8

I. Objectives
At the end of the lesson, the pupils will be able to:
 Define physical and chemical change.
 Discuss the difference between physical and chemical change.
 Identify the changes that happens to the object, during physical or chemical change.
 Appreciate the importance of the knowledge on physical and chemical change in our life.

Materials: Power Point Presentation, matches, papers

III. Procedure

Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity

1. Greetings/Prayer
Good Morning, Class! Good Morning, Ma’am!

May I ask everyone to please stand (students will stand)

Let’s have Chloe to lead us in prayer. (Students will pray)
Please observe your surroundings and any pieces of (picking pieces of paper or any dirt and
mess you see put it on the trash, and aligned your aligning chairs)
chairs properly.

Very Good! You may now be seated. (pupils will be on their seat)

2. Checking of Attendance
Ms. Secretary who is absent today? None, ma’am

3. Review

Last meeting, we discussed all about matter. May I

know who can recall what matter is?
Very Good!
What are the three classification of matter?
Correct!
What is the difference between solid and liquid?
Ma’am, matter is anything that has mass and
takes up space.
The three classification of matter are solid,
liquid and gas.
The difference between solid and liquid is that
Solid has a definite shape and volume while
liquid has a definite volume and assumes the
shape of the container.
Very good!
How about the solid and gas what is the difference? The difference between solid and gas is
that Solid has a definite shape and volume
while Gas has no definite shape.
Very Good!
Now, how can we distinguish that a matter is a gas? We can distinguish that the matter is a gas
by its particles due to that the particles of
gases are far from each other.
Exactly!
So, is there any question regarding our previous
lesson? None, Ma’am.

4. Motivation

Class, before we start to our lesson, I will group you

into two.
I have here samples of two object converted into
two different forms.
I would like you to observe changes happened by
comparing in terms of size, color and texture.

In group one, the task will be Matches on its

original composition, Burned and Broke into pieces.

In group two, will be Papers on its original

composition, Burned and Tear into pieces.

You may start now!

Choose two representatives to explain what you Group 1 Representative:

have observed. The matches that broke into pieces have
smaller size compare to its original form but
Very good! same color and texture. On the other hand,
the burned matches are very far from its
characteristics in terms of size, color and
texture from the original. It gets powdery,
color black and rougher.

How about group 2. Group 2 Representative:

The papers were cut into pieces but also same
color and texture as the original. But, on the
burned papers it became ashes. Color black
and when you hold it, it easily destroys.

Very Good!
You all have very good answer.
5. Lesson Proper

A. Presentation

A while ago, your classmate defines what matter is,

and matter has its states.
What are they? Solid, Liquid and Gas
Based from the activity that you’ve done what will
be our topic for this morning? Changes of Matter, Ma’am.

Very Good!

B. Discussion

Changes in matter may occur when a force or energy

applied in an object. (Students listen attentively.)
For example (get a piece of
paper) I will tear this paper into
pieces.
It became smaller Ma’am.
What change did you noticed?

Very Good! The size, it became smaller than the

original.
It became ashes Ma’am.
How about the lighted matches, what changed did
you noticed?

Very good! How about the color? The color became black.

Very Good!

There are two changes of matter- the physical

change and chemical change.

Elaine please read the meaning of physical change. Elaine: Physical Change is an object may
change in form but not in the kind of
molecules it has.

Thank you, when we say Physical Change, the

internal make up of the object (molecules) stays
the same, even after the change- only its form
changes. Just like the paper I tear into pieces. Only
the size and shape changed but not its internal
component.

For examples:
Logs changed into wood chips
A fruit sliced into pieces
Big rocks change into small rocks

(Students listen attentively.)

Physical Change is also called Reversible change

where in the resulting element can be opposite into
the object before. Changes that can be reversed.

Solid

Liquid

What state of matter the ice? Ma’am solid.

Very good!

And we all know that when we put the ice into a

hotter place it melts. But the composition of the ice
is the same as the water, only that it changes it
form. Understood? Yes, ma’am.

Do you think we bring back the water into its earlier

form? How? Yes ma’am, we can put it on the colder place
such as refrigerator.
Very good!

And when we say chemical change please read Lea. Lea: Chemical Change is the molecules of an
object changed into another kind of molecules
and a new substance with new properties is
formed.

Thank you! Chemical change the internal make-up

(molecules) of the object changes. Unlike a physical
change, chemical change cannot be reversed.
Changes that cannot be reversed are called
non- reversible change. We cannot bring it back
to its original form.
For examples:
Rust in irons
Burned object
Spoiled food

Every day, we experience chemical changes in many

things around us.

Think of the dry wood in the fireplace. When we

light the wood up, it burns gently and after a while
it turns into ashes. As it burns, it produces heat,
light and smoke which escapes through the air. The
heat, light, fire and smoke are all good
characteristics of a chemical reaction, which result
in a completely new matter- ashes.
Note that the ashes from the burning wood have an
entirely new molecular composition. It can never
be turned back into wood.
Understood? Yes Ma’am.

6. Generalization

Can you tell me again the meaning of physical Physical Change is an object may change in
change? form but not in the kind of molecules it has.

Very good!

How about the chemical change? Chemical Change is the molecules of an

object changed into another kind of
molecules and a new substance with new
Very good! properties is formed.

Who can now discuss the difference between

physical and chemical change? Physical change is a change in an object’s
physical properties such as size, shape, color,
texture, state, magnetic or electrical condition
but the molecular composition remains totally
unaltered. On the other hand, chemical
change is a change during which the
molecular composition gets totally altered,
that is change in which a new product is
Very good! always formed.

Can you please give me an example of physical

Crumpled paper.
 change?
Very good!

How about chemical change? Spoiled milk.

Very good!

Is there any question regarding our topic for this

morning? None, Ma’am.
