I. CURRICULUM CONTENT, STANDARDS, AND LESSON COMPETENCIES

A. Content Learners learn that:

Standards 1. Science inventions have brought about major changes to our daily lives.
2. Chemical properties of materials determine their uses.
3. Communication skills and open mindedness are needed in solving environmental issues.

B. Performance By the end of the Quarter, learners describe chemical properties of materials and change them. They demonstrate an

Through a game, the learners will classify the words written on flashcards These words should be written
(These are the attitudes and science process skills). on the flashcards:

Post these words on the board: ATTITUDES: belief, curiosity,

objectivity, critical thinking,
open-mindedness,

Check if there are flashcards pasted under your chairs. Read what is written responsibility
on the flashcards and decide if it is a skill or an attitude. Post the flashcards
under the proper heading; ATTITUDE or SKILL SCIENCE PROCESS SKILLS:
observing, measuring,
classifying, inferring, predicting.

SCIENTIFIC ATTITUDE: It is
an attitude that is indicated by
