 What I Need to Know

This module was designed and written with you in mind.

It is here to help you master the Characteristics and
Properties of the States of Matter. The scope of this module
permits it to be used in many different learning situations. The
language used recognizes the diverse 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 correspond with the textbook you
are now using.
The module is divided into two lessons, namely: Lesson 1
- 2 – Particles of Matter
After going through this module, you are expected to:
1. infer that materials are composed of tiny particles that
cannot be seen by the naked eye;
2. illustrate the arrangement of tiny particles of different
materials;
3. describe the observable properties of a given solid, liquid
or gas; and
4. perform experiment to show that particles of matter in
Solids are tightly packed, with very little space between
particles; Liquids contain particles that are more loosely
packed than solids, but still closely packed compared to
gases and Gases are far apart from each other. Its particles
move freely and easily than solids and liquids.

 What I Know

This is another beautiful day!

Directions: Read the poem below and answer the questions
that follow. You may do it in your study notebook.

Matter is All Around

Del Prado, N. Enjoying Life With Science 3. Innovative
Educational Materials Inc. pp. 2-23
Here, there, and everywhere, All you can see is matter.
It may be red or blue, Small and bouncy as a ball.
Or large and heavy as a house or a bull.
It may be a round, a square Or a rectangular table.
Just like flowing water
In a river or leaking faucet
or the fluffy white clouds
in the sky during the day.
Truly matter is all around
Including you and me.

Share your thoughts!

1. What are those things you see?
2. Is there something you cannot see but feel?
3. Which of these things mentioned in the poem move?
4. Do they move on their own or something makes them move?
5. What do you call the things around us?

 Lesson

1 Particles of Matter

In this lesson, you will learn about Matter.

In this module, you will learn that things are composed
of tiny particles that cannot be seen by the naked eye. You
will also learn how these tiny particles are arranged in
different things.
Matter is made up of small particles that are too small to
be seen, even with a powerful microscope. Everything you
can see, and touch is made of matter. It is all the “stuff” in
the universe. Matter is literally everything! It is all around us. It
exists in many states or forms. In fact, you too are made of
matter.

What’s In

You have learned that in your daily living, you are

exposed to different things. Through this activity you will able
to describe matter/things.
Directions: Describe the 5 matter/things found in the
picture below by its characteristics (color, size and shape). Fill
up the chart below.

What’s New

Do you remember what you usually do when you're at

home during weekends? Well, let us learn what the Santos’
family does during weekends.

Mr. Santos is growing healthy vegetables in his backyard.

The family harvests the healthy vegetable from their garden
and cooks it into a delicious meal.

Can you name different things/matter found in Mr.

Santos’ backyard garden?

What is It

Particles of Matter
Matter is anything that has weight and takes up space.
It is made up of small particles that are too small to be seen
by our naked eye. A particle is the smallest possible unit of
matter. Particles are arranged and move differently in each
state of matter. Knowing them can help us understand the
behavior and properties of matter.
There are three states of matter namely; Solid, Liquid and
Gas.
Solids contain particles that are tightly
packed, with very little space between
particles. If an object can hold its own shape
and is difficult to compress, it is a solid.

Particles in a Solid 12
 Liquids contain particles that are more
loosely packed than solids, but still closely
packed compared to gases.
Particles in liquids can slide past each other, or
flow, to take the shape of their container.
Particles in a Liquid
Particles in gases are far apart from each
other. A lot of space exists between these
particles. Its particles move freely and easily
than solids and liquids. Since they move in any
direction they can fly into the air.

Particles in a Gas

Here are some examples of objects that are Solids, Liquids,

and Gases and how their particles are arranged.

15
3. All matter is made of particles that are too small to be
seen by the naked eye.
4. Particles are arranged and move differently in each state
of matter.
5. The arrangement of particles determines the state of
matter.
6. Solids contain particles that are tightly packed, with very
little space between particles.
7. Liquids contain particles that are more loosely packed
than solids, but still closely packed compared to gases.
8. Particles in gases are spread even farther away from each
other.

What I Can Do

Make a representation of the particles in each state of

matter. Tear tiny pieces of colored paper to act as the
“particles” of matter. Paste them inside each object to show
how particles are arranged properly.
