A Detailed Lesson Plan in Chemistry

Prepared by: Alimon, Carlyn S./BSNE-201

I. Objectives
At the end of the lesson, the students will be able to:
1. Define the meaning of physical and chemical change;
2. Discuss the difference between physical and chemical change; and
3. Write at least 5 examples of chemical and physical changes of matter.

C. Science Concepts:
Physical Change- is a type of change in which the form of matter is altered but one
substance is not transformed into another. The size or shape of matter may be changed,
but no chemical reaction occurs.
Chemical Change- The change in which new substance is formed and chemical
composition of a substance is changed is called a chemical change. A substance loses its
identity in a chemical change and cannot be get back into its original form.
D. Time Allotment: 1 Session

III. Procedure

Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity

A. Preparation
1. Prayer
Before we start, may I call on our (Prayer leader will open their cam and
prayer leader today? microphone to pray.)

2. Greetings
Good morning class. - Good morning teacher. Good morning
You may now turn off your classmates.
microphones. - Thank you, teacher.
 3. Checking of Attendance
Now, let us check the attendance.
Secretary, do we have absentees
today? - No one is absent today, teacher.

It is nice to hear that all are present

today.

B. Review
Last meeting, we learned about matter
and its classification. So as a sort of - Matter is anything that occupies space

Yes, Claire?

Very good!
What are the three classifications of - The three classifications of matter are
matter? solid, liquid and gas.
Yes, Noah?

Correct!
What is the difference between solid and - The difference between solid and liquid
liquid? is that solid has a definite shape and

volume and assumes the shape of the
container.

Very Good!
Now, Haw can we distinguish that a - We can distinguish that the matter is a

particles of gases are far from each
other.

Exactly!
So, is there any questions regarding our - None, teacher.
previous lesson?

C. Motivation
Class, I have here a piece of paper and
a candle with a matchstick. All you have
to do is to watch carefully what will (The students watch carefully as the
happen to the paper and the candle teacher conduct the activity)
while I conduct the experiment. After I
had performed the activity, try to
explain what happened to the piece of
paper and to the candle.
D. Presentation
This day, we are going to relate what
you have observed from what I have - Changes of Matter, teacher.
done. Based from the activity that was
conducted earlier, what do you think will
be our topic for this day?

Very good!
This day, we are going to discuss the two
changes of matter – the physical and
chemical change.

1. Discussion
Class, do you have any idea what is - Physical change is a change in the form
physical change is? of matter but not in its identity.

Very good!
It’s good to know that you already have - Physical change is a change in which

change? state, magnetic or electrical condition
but the molecular composition remains
totally unaltered.

Exactly!
How about chemical change? - Chemical change is a change in which
one kind of matter is changes into
different type of matter.

Definitely!
Class, I have here a melting ice and a
dissolved sugar in water. What changes - Physical change!
are taking place in these two examples?

How can you say that these two - The two examples undergo physical

there is no new product that is being
formed.

Exactly!
I also have another example – a rusting - Chemical change!
nail and a spoiling food. What changes
do these two examples undergo?

Why these two examples undergo - Those two examples underdo chemical

chemical properties, teacher.
Very good! - Physical change is a change in an
Now, who can compare physical from object’s physical properties such as size,
chemical change? shape, color, texture, state, etc. while
chemical change is a change in which a
new product is formed.

Absolutely! - None, teacher.

Is there any question regarding our topic
for this afternoon?

2. Activity Proper
Class, we will have an activity in relation
to our topic for this day. I want everyone
to participate in this activity. I have here
a list of Changes in Matter and all you
have to do is identify whether it is a
chemical or physical change. The first
one who press the raised hand button
will answer the question. Are you ready?

The first item is melting of ice cream. Is it

chemical or physical change? 1,2,3, go!
Yes Ms. __________?

Correct!
Next, burning leaves. Is it chemical or
physical change? 1,2,3, go!
Yes Mr. __________?

Correct!
Next, boiling water. Is it chemical or
physical change? 1,2,3, go!
Yes Mr. ____________?

Correct!
Next, freezing chocolate covered
banana. Is It chemical or physical
change? 1,2,3, go!
Yes Ms. ____________?

Correct!
Next, bleaching of hair. Is it chemical or
physical change? 1,2,3, go!

physical change? 1,2,3, go!
Yes Ms. __________?

Correct!
Next, Pouring milk in your oatmeal. Is it
chemical or physical change? 1,2,3, go!
Yes Ms. ________?

Correct!
Next, mixing salt with water. Is it

physical change? 1,2,3, go!
Yes Ms.__________?

Correct!
Last item, cutting of wood. Is it chemical
or physical change? 1,2,3, go!
Yes Ms._________?

Correct!
Thank you so much class for
participating. This will serve as your
recitation in this class.

IV. Generalization

Based on the lesson that we had, who - Physical change is a change in an

can now discuss the difference between object’s physical properties such as size,
a physical and chemical change? shape, color, texture, state, magnetic or
electrical condition but the molecular
composition remains totally unaltered.
Some examples of physical change are
breaking of a glass, separating sand
from gravel, and cutting woods. On the
other hand, chemical change is a change
during which the molecular composition
gets totally altered, that is change in
which a new product is always formed.
 Some examples of chemical change are
digesting foods, frying egg, and burning
of leaves.
Very good!
Who among you here can give other
examples of physical and chemical - There are some of the physical and
changes of matter that are happening in chemical changes in our environment.
your community? These are as follows: a rusting bicycle,
bleaching your hair, hammering wood
together to build a house, combustion of
fuel, heating of zinc oxide and freezing
of water.
Great job!
It’s good to know that you really
understand the lesson that we had
discussed today.
