PHYSICAL CHANGES IN MATTER

School: Cotabato State University Grade level: 4

Instructor: Joel C. Patiño Jr., PhD-Math Date:
Subject: Science Time:

I. OBJECTIVES
A. Content Standards: Students should understand that matter can undergo
physical changes, such as changes in shape, size, and phase without altering
its composition.
B. Performance Standards: Students should be able to demonstrate and explain
how matter changes physically through hands-on activities, such as cutting,
bending, crumpling, melting, and freezing different materials.
C. Learning Competencies/Objectives: Describe the changes in the properties
of materials when exposed to certain conditions such as temperature or when
mixed with other materials.

II. SUBJECT MATTER

A. Title: Physical Changes in Matter
B. Learning Resources: Book: Conceptual Science and Beyond 4
C. Materials: Laptop, Speaker, Instructions Materials, Pictures, Video Presentation,
Activity Sheets
lll. LEARNING RESOURCES
A. Preliminary Activities
a. Ma’am Amino will start the class with an enthusiastic greeting, inviting the
students to an exciting day learning.
b. After greeting the class, Ma’am Amino will lead a short prayer. She will call two
students to lead the prayer - one for the Muslim prayer and for the Christian
prayer.
c. This will be followed by the attendance check. The students will say, “Present”,
to confirm their presence in the class.
d. After the attendance check, Ma’am Amino will lead a fun energizer activity to
engage and energize the students.
e. Before the discussion, Ma’am Amino will remind the students to listen
attentively, behave properly, focus on her, and raise their hands if they want to
speak.

B. Motivation
Activity 1: Ma’am Amino will call on students to guess the pictures she will show if its
solid, liquid or gas.

Activity 2: Ma’am Amino will play a song for the whole class to sing along with.

C. Lesson Proper
 After Ma’am Amino leads the activities, Ma’am Canarejo and Ma’am Narca will start
the discussion.

D. Discussion
 Physical change is a change in the shape, size or state of matter without forming
a new substance.
 Examples include cutting, folding, melting, freezing and evaporating.
 The material remains the same before and after the change.

Examples of Physical change:

 Melting ice, but turns into water but is still water.
 Breaking glass but it is still glass, just in smaller pieces.
 Stretching a rubber band but remains a rubber band.

E. Developing Mastery
 After the discussion, Ma’am Lama will give an activity to develop the learning
capacity of the students.
 Ma’am Lama, give the materials needed and the students will try and observe how
the materials provided change physically.

F. Application
 After the fun activity, Ma’am Lama provide an activity which is the Matching Type
but the students will answer at the board.

Activity 1
Directions: Match the state of matter in Column A with the correct example in Column
B.
1. Solid A. Oxygen
2. Liquid B. Ice
3. Gas C. Juice
4. Solid D. Rock
 5. Gas E. Water vapor
 After the first activity, Ma’am Manalazar will give another activity and its same to the
first activity. But this time, the students will put R if it is Physical Change and Q if it
is not.

Activity 2
Directions: Match the state of matter in Column A with the correct example in Column
B. Then, write R if it is a physical change and Q if it is not.

Column A Column B Physical

(Example at Change?
(State of
Home) (R/Q)
Matter)
1. Solid A. Ice melting
2. Liquid A. Shampoo being
poured
3. Gas B. Perfume scent
spreading
4. Solid C. Burning paper
5. Liquid D. Water boiling
into steam

IV. EVALUATING
 Ma’am Manalazar will give an Activity Sheet providing an assessment to students.
