III. LEARNING ACTIVITIES

A. PRELIMINARY ACTIVITY
 Prayer

B. MOTIVATION
The teacher will play and ask the pupils to sing an energizer song title “The Three
States of Matter” in the tune of the nursery rhyme “The Wheels on the Bus”.
C. ENABLING ACTIVITIES
1. ACTIVITY
The teacher will provide various pictures of objects and let it rotate around the
class while singing a song and when the song stops, the pupils who are holding
the pictures will post it on the board. After posting the pictures, the teacher will
ask pupils some questions about the pictures.
 Questions:
 What is the name of that objects?
 What did you observe about the photos?
 Is this object soft, hard, watery in texture, or air type?

2. ANALYSIS
The teacher will post the word solid, liquid and gas on the board and ask the
pupils to classify the objects according to the categories.

Guide questions:
1. What can you say about our activity?
2. What do you think is our lesson for today?

3. ABSTRACTION
First State of Matter: SOLIDS

o A solid retains a fixed volume and shape, not easily compressible and
does not flow.

o A solid has these three main properties:

1. A solid has a definite shape.
2. A solid has a definite mass.
3. A solid has a definite volume.

o A solid will always look the same and take up the same amount of
space. Example: table, apple or a car.

Second State of Matter: LIQUID

A liquid assumes the shape of the part of the container which it occupies,
not easily compressible and flows easily.

A liquid has these three main properties:

1. A liquid does not have a definite shape.

2. A liquid has a definite mass.
3. A liquid has a definite volume.
 A liquid will always take up the same amount of space and take the shape
of its container. Example: juices, milk or water.

Third State of Matter: GAS

A gas assumes the shape and volume of its container, compressible and
flows easily.

A gas has these three main properties:

1. A gas does not have a definite shape.

2. A gas does not have a definite shape.
3. A gas does not have a definite volume.

A gas does not always weigh the same or take up the same amount of
space. However, like a liquid, a gas will always take the shape of its
container, no matter the size or shape of that container. Example: helium
in a balloon, oxygen in the air or air in a jar.

4. GENERALIZATION
The teacher will do a game titled “Takbo lang sa Tamang Sagot”. This game is inspired
by the games in Wowowin, where Kuya Wil asks a question and the people will run to
the answer they choose.
 Directions: The teacher will ask questions that is related to the lesson. The pupils have
two choices ( True and False ). After asking a question the teacher will count from one
to three and the pupils will fall in line to the answer they choose.

Teacher’s Questions:
1. Matter is anything that has weight and takes up space.
2. Everything you can see and touch is made up of matter.
3. Matter exists in two main forms: liquids, and gases only.
4. Everything present in the universe is made of matter. Even we, the human beings,
are made of matter.
5. The food that we eat everyday are not kind of matter and we can survive without it.
6. The clothes that we wear, all the necessary things like pencil, brush, utensils all are
made of matter.

Correct Answers:
1. True
2. True
3. False; Matter exists in three main forms: solids, liquids, and gases.
4. True
5. False; The food that we eat everyday are also a kind of matter without it we cannot
survive.
6. True

5. APPLICATION
The teacher will divide the class into 4 groups. Each group will have different task and they
will be given 5 minutes to finish it.
