Teacher Sheryl B. Javar Learning Area Science of Materials
Teaching Date September 09, 2024 Quarter First
A. CONTENT STANDARD The particle model explains the properties of solids,
liquids and gases and the processes involved in
changes of state.
B. PERFORMANCE STANDARD By the end of the Quarter, learners recognize that
scientists use models describe the particle model of
matter. They use diagrams and illustrations to explain
the motion and arrangement of particles during
changes of state. They demonstrate an understanding
of the role of solute and solvent in solutions and the
factors that affect solubility. They demonstrate skills to
plan and conduct a scientific investigation making
accurate measurements and using standard units.
Suggested Performance Task:
Design and carry out an investigation to determine the amount
of salt in a sample of seawater.
C. LEARNING COMPETENCIES Describe the particle Model of Matter as “all matter is
made up of tiny particles with each pure substance
having its own kind of particles”.
D. UNPACKED LEARNING OBJECTIVES At the end of the forty (40) minutes session, the learners
can:
1. Describe the particle model of matter as “all matter is
made up of tiny particles with each pure substance
having its own kind of particles.
2. Describe the properties of solids, liquids and gases
based on the particulate nature of matter.

G. STRATEGIES “Interactive Powerpoint Presentation,Collaborative Learning
TEACHING AND LEARNING PROCESS
A. Activating Prior Knowledge (MINDS AND MOODS)
Priming Activities:
Greetings and Opening Prayer will be shown using multimedia presentation.
Setting of Mood
Setting of Classroom Rules and Standards
Setting of Classroom Routinary Activities
QUICK REVIEW:
Using a gamification application, the teacher reviews on the different types of models.
Learners identify the scientific model shown and the type of model.
B. Establishing Lesson Purpose (AIMS)
Using the shared slide deck, the teacher flashes a game called “GUESS THE WORD”
The words shown are MATTER, SOLIDS, LIQUIDS AND GAS.
Unlocking Content Area Vocabulary:
(Unlock the meaning of the words “MATTER” by identifying its synonyms)
Then, the teacher shows pictures with words, learners are called randomly using the name generator to identify which
words are the synonyms for matter.
Linking Statement:
Matter and energy make up the entire universe.
Matter is made up of very small particles called atoms. The substance that you eat, drink, breaths, and write o, sit on are all
made up of atoms. They are so small that only the most powerful microscope could see them.
As a result, in order to comprehend why substances behave the way they do, one first needs to understand what they are
composed of.
C. Developing and Deepening Understanding (TASK AND THOUGHT)
EXPLORE: Inquiry Based and Collaborative
BRAINSTORMING ACTIVITY: (THINK-PAIR AND SHARE)
The learners are instructed to select a partner they can work with for the activity.
Set Standards:
a. Follow instructions carefully.
b. Share useful ideas.
c. Work collaboratively and harmoniously with your team members.
c. Be conscious of the time.
The class will be given 8 minutes to finish their assigned task.
Afterwards, the teacher calls a pair randomly to answer the guide questions provided.
The following are the guide questions:
1. What is matter?
2. What is the particulate nature of matter?
3. What are the three states of matter?
4. What are the properties of these three states of matter?
5. How is the arrangement of particles in each of the three states of matter?
EXPLAIN: Ideational and Integrative
Let each pair that are selected randomly present their outputs to the class.
Afterwards, the teacher highlights and gives positive comments to groups that did exceptionally well.
The teacher processes the activity by asking questions and calling students randomly regarding the content of
their presentations and asks the following guide questions:
1. What is matter?
2. What is the particulate nature of matter?
3. What are the three states of matter?
4. What are the properties of these three states of matter?
5. How is the arrangement of particles in each of the three states of matter?
ELABORATE:
The teacher allows the learners to demonstrate their critical thinking skills by letting them identify and describe
two distinct properties of matter for each state: solids, liquids and gases.
D. Making Generalizations (ABSTRACTION)
Answer the following:
1. How can you explain the different behavior of solids, liquids and gases based on their molecular structure?
Provide examples to support your explanation.
2. Can you give five examples of each phase of matter (solid, liquid, gas)? Explain why each example belongs to
its respective phase, considering the observable properties and behaviors of the substances.
E. Evaluating Learning (TOOLS FOR ASSESSMENT)
