Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity

1. Greetings/Prayer
Good Afternoon, Class! Good Afternoon, Sir!

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

Let’s us pray. (Students will pray)
Please pick up, all the pieces of trash around you and arrange (the students will pick up all the pieces of trash
your seats properly. around them and arrange their seats properly)
You may now take your seats Thank you, sir

2. Checking of Attendance None,

Who are the absent today?

3. Review
Before we proceed to our discussion, let’s first have a short
recall about what we discussed last meeting.
Sir, A comet is a small object with elliptical orbit that
Who can differentiate Comets? has collected ice and cosmic dust and other gases,
like helium, methane and hydrogen.
Very Good!
Sir, Asteroids are small “bodies” that orbit a larger
object in space.
How about the Asteroids?

Correct! Sir, A meteor is a particle of space dust or rock that

passes the earth’s atmosphere in the sky. Meteor
And the last one Meteors? showers occur when many passes at the same time.

Very good!

4. Motivation Tables and chairs teacher.

Class, what do you see around our room?
Yes, you are correct. What else do you see?
Notebook and ballpen teacher.
Very good. Class, you must know that there a lot of things that
you can see inside this room and especially outside.

I will show them the three real objects

(Students look for it.)

 Wallet, bottled water and balloon teacher.

Very good! Rectangle

Yes, sir
What is the shape of the wallet?
Correct! Can you touch it?
Yes, sir
Next, what can you say about the water in the bottle? Do the
water and the bottle have the same shape?
It is colorful teacher.
Good. Lastly, what can you say about the balloon? There is air inside the balloon.
What is inside the balloon?

Very good!

5. Lesson Proper

A. Presentation

Our topic for today is related to the image that I’ve post earlier.
Can you guess what they are?

B. Discussion
Sir, Matter
When we say “matter” It is anything that occupies space and has
weight/mass. All the things around us are matter. Even the air
that we inhale and exhale is also a matter.

Class, there are three states of matter. These are solid, liquid
and gas.

Can you read the meaning of Solid?

(Students listen attentively.)
Thank you! solids have definite shape. It can be held and seen.
Such as wallet, notebook etc.
Solids have definite shapes that occupy definite
Now, the second state of matter is Liquid. spaces. Solids can be held and seen.
Please read the meaning of Liquid.

I have here an empty glass. Will you fill the glass with the liquid
from the jug? (Ask the pupils to describe the shapes of water
being poured.) What happened to the water inside glass? Does it A liquid is a nearly incompressible fluid that
take the shape of the glass? conforms to the shape of its container but retains a
constant volume independent of pressure.

Yes, sir
How about the gas?

This inflated balloon is filled with air and air is an example of a

gas. Can you see the air? Gas can expand freely to fill the whole of a
container, having no fixed shape (unlike a solid) and
Air cannot be seen because it is colorless. But it can be felt. Air is no fixed volume (unlike a liquid).
a matter in a gas/gaseous state. There are also gases that can be
seen such smoke and clouds.
No, sir
Properties of the Three Main States of Matter
 STATES PROPERTIES
SOLID  rigid and compact
 has definite shape and volume
 does not flow
 generally incompressible
LIQUID  has definite volume but no
definite shape
 flows and diffuses slowly
 almost incompressible
GAS  Has no definite shape and (Students listen attentively.)
volume
 Flows and diffuses easily
 Compressible

PROPERTIES OF SOLIDS

1. Solids are rigid, compact, and compressible. The strong

attractive forces between solid particles make them
closely packed and incompressible.
2. Solids have different shape and volume. The strong
attractive forces also limit the motion of the particles in
a fixed position. Thus, a solid has an ordered
arrangement of particle that give them a definite shape
and volume.
3. Solid do not flow. Solid particles only vibrate at fixed
positions. They do not slip and slide like the liquid or gas
particles. Hence, they do not flow.

PROPERTIES OF LIQUIDS

1. Liquids have definite volume but no definite shape.

The force of attraction between the particles of a liquid
holds them closer and allows them to occupy a definite
space or volume.
2. Liquids flow and diffuse slowly. Like gas, liquid is
considered a fluid. A fluid is a substance that has the
ability to flow.
3. Liquids are almost incompressible. The liquid particles
are closer together than gas particles.

PROPERTIES OF GASES

1. Gases have no definite shape and volume. Because the

intermolecular force between gas particles is negligible,
they will fill their container regardless of its shape and
volume. Ex. Air used to inflate a balloon assumes the
shape and volume of the balloon.
Air pumped into a tire assumes the size and shape of the
tire.
2. Gases flow and diffuse easily. Gas particles are in
constant, random motion. They flow easily and mix
evenly. Particles move from an area of high
concentration to an area of low concentration. Ex.
Smelling perfume from a distance; Smelling adobo being
cooked in the kitchen from your bedroom.
3. Gases are compressible. Gas particles are far apart. You
can therefore compress the particles, or reduce the
 distance between them, by applying external pressure.
Ex. Inflated balloon can be squeezed; Carbon dioxide gas
compressed in carbonated drinks.
4. Gases exert pressure. Moving bodies, such as gas
particles, exert pressure. Ex. Pressure exerted by
atmospheric gas on mercury in a barometer; Pressure
exerted by air in automobile tires.

The differences in the properties of gases, liquids, and solids can

be explained in terms of the arrangement and movement of
their particles.

6. Generalization
Can you tell me again the meaning of solid?
Very good!
How about the liquid?
Very good!
Solids have definite shapes that occupy definite
spaces. Solids can be held and seen.
How about the gas?
Very good!
A liquid is a nearly incompressible fluid that
conforms to the shape of its container but retains a
constant volume independent of pressure.
Now, what are the properties of solid?
Gas can expand freely to fill the whole of a
container, having no fixed shape (unlike a solid) and
no fixed volume (unlike a liquid).
How about the liquid?
 rigid and compact
 has definite shape and volume
 does not flow
 generally incompressible
And the properties of gas?
 has definite volume but no definite shape
Very good!  flows and diffuses slowly
7. Application  almost incompressible

Items 1 to 5 are properties exhibited by the different states of  Has no definite shape and volume
matter. Choose from the options below the state (s) of matter  Flows and diffuses easily
that match (es) the given property. You may have more than  Compressible
