B. REVIEW
The teacher will ask the students some questions about the Five Senses.
C. MOTIVATION
The teacher will group the students and give them the instructions about the
game named “Where Do I Belong?”.
The teacher will let the students attach the given pictures of the objects to
where they belong.
D. LESSON PROPER
The teacher will ask the students what they notice about the activity.
The teacher will start the discussion about the States of Matter.
Matter
- In science, matter is defined as any substance that has mass and takes up
space. Anything you can touch, taste, or smell consists of matter.
Three States of Matter
- Solid, Liquid, Gas
Solid
- It is a state of matter with a defined shape and volume. Particles are packed
close together.
- Example: Door, Book, Comb
Liquid
- It is a state of matter with defined volume, but no defined shape. Space
between particles allows this form of matter to flow.
- Example: Water, Milk, Blood
Gas
- It is a state of matter without a defined volume or shape. Particles can
adjust to the size and shape of their container.
- Example: Hydrogen, Oxygen, Helium
IV. APPLICATION
The teacher will group the students into three groups.
The teacher will group the students and give them the instructions about their
group activity named “Give It All!”.
The teacher will spin the roulette wheel that consists of names Solid, Liquid, and Gas
for each group.
- Instruction: For the Group 1, when the teacher spins the roulette wheel and
the arrow stops in Solid, they will provide Solid substances as many as they
can.
Whoever gets the highest score wins.
V. GENERALIZATION
The teacher will generalize the lesson by asking the students through these
questions:
1. What is Matter?
2. What are the Three States of Matter?
3. What is Solid? Give some examples.
4. What is Liquid? Give some examples.
5. What is Gas? Give some examples.
