Describing Difference

in Materials
Grade 1: Science
 At the end of the lesson, you should be able to:

OUTCOMES
LEARNING 1 describe the characteristics of a certain material;

recognize the differences among given set of

2 materials; and

realize the importance of recognizing the

3 differences among materials.
ENGAGE

How can you describe differences

among materials?
 Tell how the objects are similar to one

group different materials, you have to tell their
similarities first.
Different kinds of materials are found in
your bag. You use the materials in your
bag when you go to school. You use a
pencil for writing. You use your books for
reading. Pencil and books are both school
supplies. But a pencil and a book still
differ from one another. Materials differ
from one another in many ways! Telling
the differences of materials will help you
know its proper use.
