 Preface

This module is intended for Grade five pupils.

It can be used to fully understand the lesson regarding
changes that matter undergoes particularly the
physical and chemical change. Examples of these
changes are well explained in this module.

 Before we move further, here are some reminders on how to
use this module:
1. Handle this module with extra care so that it will
last long and more learners like you will also experience
this fun learning in Science
2. Read the lesson carefully so that you will
understand the lesson well and you will be able to answer
the given activities.
3. Read and follow the directions on every activities.
4. Be honest in answering the activities given for you.
5. Do not write on this module. Write your answer on a
separate sheet of paper.

vii
Here are the things that you are expected to do:
At the of the lesson, you should be able
to:
1. Differentiate physical change from chemical
change; and
2. Identify any evidence of chemical change

viii
 Everyday you see enumerable changes taking
place in things around us. Plants grow, fruits ripen, leaves
decay, water evaporates from wet clothes and many more.
At times, we deliberately bring about changes to
our advantage. For instance we add baking powder to the
dough to make to cook eggs, we ferment coconut water to
make vinegar, and we cook meat to soften and make it
palatable. Do you know how these changes happen? In
this lesson you will learn changes in matter.

 Before you proceed to the next activity answer
the pretest to find out how much you know about
the changes in matter

A. Fill in the blanks with the

correct answer.
1. A change in matter that
forms a new substance is
called _____________.
2. In a
__________________,
there can be change in
size, shape or state but no
new substance is formed.

 B. Study the pictures below. Classify the situations as
physical or chemical change on the table below.

Physical Change Chemical Change

Check your answer with your teacher. Then, proceed to “What

you need to know”

 In a physical change, there can be change in size, shape or state
but no new substance is formed.
 Substances often undergo changes that make them have a
dramatically different appearance, even though the chemical
composition of the substance remains unchanged. For example,
you can take a flat, smooth sheet of paper and crumple it into a
ball or fold it into an airplane. While it may look very different in
these three forms, it is still paper.
 When a substance undergoes a physical change it does not lose
its original properties when changing from one phase to another.
The types of physical changes can vary.

5
 There are six distinct changes of phase which happens to
different substances at different temperatures. The six changes
are:
1. Freezing: the substance changes from a liquid to a solid.
2. Melting: the substance changes back from the solid to the
liquid.
3. Condensation: the substance changes from a gas to a liquid.
4. Evaporation: the substance changes from a liquid to a gas.
5. Sublimation: the substance changes directly from a solid to a gas
without going through the liquid phase.
6. Deposition: the substance changes directly from a gas to a solid
without going through the liquid phase.

6
Examples of Physical changes (change in state)
1. Ice melting involves a change from a solid to
a liquid and the substances maintain the properties of
water because the molecules never change.
2. Water boiling is a physical change as water
molecules vibrate faster, they enter the gas phase and
become water vapor.
3. Rubbing alcohol left uncovered will
evaporate quickly into the air. It turns to a gas but
maintains the properties of alcohol.

Now that you have finished reading all about physical change.
Let’s see how much you have learned.

A. Direction: Choose the letter of the correct answer

1. Physical changes can be brought about by
a. Cutting
b. Bending
c. Dissolving
d. All of the following are correct.
2. All of the following processes cause physical changes in matter
except
a. Burning
b. Melting
c. Freezing
d. Boiling

9
3. Physical changes are
a. reversible
b. irreversible
c. permanent
d. temporary
4. Which of the following is an example of physical change?
a. Mixing baking soda and vinegar together, and this causes
bubbles and foam.
b. A glass cup falls from the counter and shatters on the
ground.
c. Lighting a piece of paper on fire and the paper burns up and
leaves ashes.
d. Baking a birthday cake for your mother. 2

10
5. What characteristic best describes what happen during a
physical change?
a. Composition changes
b. Composition stays the same
c. Form stays the same
d. Mass is lost

11
B. Provide answer for each box.

1. 2

12
 In all physical changes, no new substances are produced. The
particles of the substance remain the same. However, not all
changes of matter are physical changes. A change where new
substances are formed is a chemical change.
 When paper burns, ashes and smoke are produced. These
substances cannot be changed back into paper. It is not possible to
take out the flour, eggs, sugar, and milk that were mixed to make
and bake a cake.
 Chemical changes produce one or more new substances with
different sets of properties. A change in the chemical composition of
the material always takes place.

13
 Conditions That Bring About Chemical Change
There are certain factors that cause chemical changes to take place,
such as the following:
Heat- sugar when heated turns brown, then black. Food decays easily
when kept in a warm place.
Light- The exposure to light of photographic film will cause it to
darken. The film has a chemical that is sensitive to light.
Electricity- Electric current when passed through water, decomposes
water into hydrogen and oxygen gases. Electricity is also used to
charge storage batteries.
In many cases, however, heat, light, and electricity are
released or produced when a chemical change takes place.

22
14
There are five signs of a chemical
change:
1. Color Change
2. Production of an odor
3. Change of Temperature
4. Evolution of a gas (formation of
bubbles)
5. Precipitate (formation of a solid)
