LESSON PLAN GRADE 8 SCIENCE
3rd QUARTER
THE PARTICLE NATURE OF MATTER DATE:____________
OBJECTIVES
The Learners demonstrate an understanding of:
Content Standard the particle nature of matter as basis for explaining properties,
physical changes, and structure of substances and mixtures
The Learners shall be able to:
Performance Standard present how water behaves in its different states within the water
cycle
The Learners should be able to:
Learning Competency explain the properties of solids, liquids, and gases based on the
particle nature of matter;
DAILY TASK Infer that particles are moving
II. CONTENT Moving Particles

Additional Materials Materials to be prepared by the teacher: wax paper, cardboard, printed “Race
Drop Raceway” sheets/ may be drawn, water
Ask the question:
ELICIT
1. Does matter attract each other?
2. What are the different States of matter?
Let the students play the game:
Race Drop Raceway
ENGAGE (adapted)
Teacher Preparation
Print two “Race Drop Raceway” sheets for each group.
Procedure
1. Tape the Race Drop Raceway sheet onto a piece of cardboard to
give it support.
2. Tape a piece of wax paper over the “Race Drop Raceway!”
sheet.
3. Place 2–4 drops of water together to make one larger drop at the
“Start”.
4. As fast as you can, tilt the cardboard and guide your race drop
around the track to the “Finish”.
5. Try not to touch the edge of the track. The first to finish is the
winner.
Ask 5-6 volunteers to demonstrate how molecules behave in the
following states of matter:
Solid
Liquid
Gas
Essential Question:
Are the particles moving?
EXPLORE
Perform by group Activity #3: Are the particles of matter moving? What
is between them? pp 178-179 of the manual.
Students will present their findings in class through a class reporting
with the use of the table and guide questions. (Please refer to LM for the
EXPLAIN guide questions)
Key Questions:
1. What is matter made of?
ELABORATE 2. What can you say about its movement?
3. Describe the arrangement of particles of solid, liquid and gas.
Identify what state of matter is being identified:
WHO AM I?
1. I have a definite shape and a definite volume.
2. I may have a definite volume but I just follow the shape of my
container.
EVALUATE 3. There is very negligible attraction between me and others.
True or False
1. Matter is composed of tiny particles that do not move.
2. The particles of matter have the tendency to attract each other.
Make a particle model of matter on your own.
EXTEND You may use any material to show your creativity.
This is to be done next Friday. Kindly bring all your chosen materials.
