 What I Need to Know

This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to
help you master the skill in describing the changes in materials based on the
effects of temperature, (S3MT-lh-j-4). The scope of this module allows it to be
used in many different learning situations. The language used recognizes the
different vocabulary level of students. The lessons are arranged to follow the
standard sequence of the course. But the order in which you read them can be
changed to be similar with the textbook you are now using.

The module is divided into four lessons, namely:

• Lesson 1 – Changes from Solid to Liquid

• Lesson 2 – Changes from Liquid to Solid
• Lesson 3 – Changes from Liquid to Gas
• Lesson 4 – Changes from Solid to Gas

After going through this module, you are expected to be able to:
1. explain what happens to some solid materials like butter when heated;
2. discover what happens to liquid materials like water when frozen;
3. discover what happens to water when heated or when the temperature
is increased; and
4. find out what happens to a naphthalene ball when placed under the heat
of the sun.

What I Know

Directions: Tell whether there is a change in the material before and after
exposure to high or low temperature. Put (x) if there is none. Put (√) if there is.
Then, write solid, liquid or gas for the changed material. The first one is done
for you. Do this in your notebook.

Lesson
Changes in Materials from Solid to

There are changes that take place in materials.

Temperature is the degree of hotness or coldness of a material measured in a

definite scale.

3
 This is a thermometer. It measures the
temperature of an object. Remember how the doctor
used this to get your temperature when you have
fever?

Low temperature indicates

coldness, while high temperature

indicates hotness.

The temperature can increase or

decrease. When it is increasing, this process is called

heating. When it is decreasing, this process is called
cooling.
Temperature of a material can be described
through the unit degree

What’s In

In Lesson 1 of this module, you will learn that there are some solids that
can become liquids when exposed to heat.

4
Question:
How does solid change into liquid? Study the butter being heated below.

Look at the butter on the frying pan before it is heated. Is

it a solid? What happens to it after it is heated?
What is It

When butter is heated on the frying pan it melts because it is exposed to

heat, thus, its temperature increases. Butter is an example of a solid. When
heated, it becomes liquid.

5
 There are some solid materials that can be changed into liquids by
heating or exposing them to sunlight or warm air. Ice cream, ice cubes and
butter melt and change into liquids when left in an open place where there is
sunlight and warm air. This process is called melting or liquefaction.

What’s More

Activity 1: Read each item carefully. Write True or False on the space provided.
Do this in your notebook.

__________________1. When ice is cooled, it melts.

__________________2. Sugar becomes liquid when heated.
__________________3. Crayon will still be solid when heated.
__________________4. Candles will melt when lighted.
__________________5. When you hold an ice cube, it will melt in
your hands.

Activity 2: Observe the materials below. What could possibly happen to each
material? Write melts or not in the second column. Do this in your notebook.

Directions: Read the dialog below. Answer the following questions.

Write your answer in a separate sheet of paper.

One fine morning, two kids bought an ice cream.

Emma: Yes, I know but my teeth hurt.
Joe: So what will you do?
Emma: Hmm, I will eat this after an hour.

8
Vendor: Oh dear, you should eat your ice cream right away, because if
you don’t, your ice cream will melt.
Emma: Right! I think I have to eat it when my toothache goes
away.
