 Infer that matter is made up of numerous tiny particles.
 Infer that there is an empty space in between the particles of matter.
The learner demonstrate an understanding of the particle nature of matter has basis for
explaining properties, physical changes, and structure of substances and mixtures.
The learner shall be able to present how water behaves in its different states with in the
water cycle
EXPLAIN THE PROPERTIES OF SOLIDS, LIQUIDS AND GASES USING THE
PARTICULATE NATURE OF MATTER

ELICIT
 Call a student randomly to identify the following sample whether it is a matter or
not
sample
Water
Stone
Air inside the ball
Leaves
Sugar granule
Heat
light
smoke
Follow-up questions:
 What similarities do you observe among the first five given samples? What are
common characteristics?
 Does each sample have a measurable mass?
 Do you think that each sample occupies space?
 How about smoke? Does it have mass? Does it occupy space?
 Do you think that heat and light have mass? Do they occupy space?
ENGAGE
Let the student do the activity: What is matter made of?
Guide Questions:
 What is the color of the food coloring solution used? What is the color of the
resulting solution?
 What can you observe about the color of the solutions in vials B, C, and D? Based
on your observation, is the food coloring still present in the solution contained in
vial D? Explained your answer.
 With your group mates, discuss and give your reasons behind the observation in
Q2?
EXPLORE
 The students will be group into 4 groups
 The students will perform the activity: squeeze me if you can
- Using the three plastic bottle, one with sand represented the
solid phase, another one with water represented liquid phase,
and the last is empty which represent gas phase. Squeeze each
bottle as you can and describe what happen.
Guide Questions:
  Which of the three bottles has the greatest compressibility?
 Which has a greater compressibility?
 Which has a less compressibility?
RUBRICS
Category Scoring criteria
Organization  Information is presented in a logical sequence.
(5 points)
Content  Presentation contains accurate information.
(15 points)  Answers are accurate to the result of their own
experiment and must be original.
 There is an obvious conclusion summarizing
the presentation.
Presentation Speaker maintains good eye contact with the
(10 points) audience and is appropriately animated (e.g.,
gestures, moving around, etc.).
Speaker uses a clear, audible voice.
Delivery is poised, controlled, and smooth.
Length of presentation is within the assigned time
limits.
Information was well communicated.
score Total points

F. Developing mastery EXPLAIN

(Leads to formative  The group will explain their output.
assessment 3)  The teacher will show the Phet Simulation to further explain the activity.

GUIDE QUESTIONS
1. Describe the compressibility of the 3 phases of matter
based on the simulation
2. Differentiate the spaces between the particles of each
of the 3 phases of matter?
3. How temperature affects the motion of the particles in
each of the phases of matter

G. Finding practical application of ELABORATE

concepts and skills in daily  The teacher will show video clip on particulate nature of matter.
living
H. Making generalization and
abstraction about the lesson
I. Evaluating learning EVALUATION
PAPER –PENCIL TEST
1. Its particles are far apart.
2. It has a definite volume and shape.
3. Have definite volume but no definite shape.
4. It is anything that occupies space and has mass.
5. Its particles are held very closed to each other.
J. Additional activities for EXTEND
application or remediation Let the students do the activity: Are the particle of matter moving?
