 GUIDE FOR THE LEARNER, PARENT, GUARDIAN
AND LEARNING FACILITATOR

To You, Learner:

Welcome to (Science Grade 1) Self-Learning Module (SLM)

on (Matter)! This module was made to give you with fun and
meaningful time for guided and independent learning at your
convenience. You will be able to process the contents of this
Module while being an active learner.

To You, Parent/s, Guardian/s and Learning Facilitator/s:

This Module was collaboratively developed and reviewed

by the teachers, school heads and supervisors of DepEd Division
of Cabanatuan City to assist you in helping the learners meet the
standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum while overcoming their
different constraints in schooling.
As a facilitator, you are expected to orient the
learners on how to use this module. You also need to
keep track of the learners' progress while allowing
them to manage their own learning. Furthermore, you
are expected to encourage and assist the learners as
they do the tasks included in the module.
This Module is about (brief description of the les-
son and of the flow and sequence of the tasks in-

 Learning About Matter

Read the poem “ All Things Bright and Beautiful” and try to recite it
with your mother or father and put an action about it.

All things and objects mentioned in the poem are called MATTER.
Objects we see in the park, at home and in school, and objects all around
you is matter.
Objects have colors. Some are brown, green, orange, yellow and red.
Color is a property of matter. Matter has different colors. Rainbow colors are
red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.

6
 Materials may be round, square, rectangular or triangular. Shape is
a property of matter. Some materials have shapes of their own. Others
take the shape of the container.

Materials may be big or small, long or short, thin or thick. All objects
have size. Size is a property of matter.

Materials may be smooth or rough, and hard or soft. Texture, hard-

ness and softness are properties of matter.

Materials may also have odors and other materials have no odor or
odorless. Flowers and perfumes have scents while other are odorless.
Materials may have taste like foods. Sour, sweet, salty, bitter and
spicy. Other materials have no taste.
All matter have their similarities and differences in their properties.
They are similar or they differ in their colors, sizes, shapes, textures, odor
and tastes.
Comparing means finding similarities and differences between two
objects.

 When we observed the banana closely, you were able to describe its
characteristics. Now, observe the picture of the banana and the big ripe
mango. Compare these two fruits.

Look at the chart. In the chart are the characteristics of each fruit.

5. Taste sweet sweet

6. Odor fragrant fragrant

Answer the following questions:
In what ways are the banana and the mango different?

Vocabulary

Similar– means two or more things are exactly

like one another. ( Same or identical)
Difference– two things are unlike each other.

 WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED?

Matter has shape. Some are round, square, rectangular, triangle and
circle.
Matter has size. Some are big and small. Thick and thin, long and short.
Matter has color. Some are red, orange, yellow, green blue and indigo.
Matter has odor. Some are fragrant, some are foul.
Matter has taste. Some are salty, bitter, sweet and sour.
Matter has texture. Some are rough and some are smooth.

 Matter and Its Properties
There are may things around us that are beautiful and useful. All ob-
jects and things that surrounds us are called matter. Matter has different
characteristics and these are called their properties.
Matter has shape. Some are round, square, rectangular, triangle and
circle.
Matter has size. Some are big and small. Thick and thin, long and
short.
Matter has color. Some are red, orange, yellow, green blue and indi-
go.
Matter has odor. Some are fragrant, some are foul.
Matter has taste. Some are salty, bitter, sweet and sour.
Matter has texture. Some are rough and some are smooth.
Properties of matter such as color, shape, size, odor, taste and texture
have similarities and differences with one another.
Comparing means finding similarities and differences between two
objects.
In this SLM for Grade One SPED G learners is provided with varied ,
meaningful and some hands –on activities which will be guided with their
parents so they will utilize the science processes like observing, describing,
identifying, comparing and communicating. They are expected to learn
the competency of comparing materials according to observable prop-
erties, (e.g. color, shape, size, texture, odor, taste).
It is hoped that with these materials, the continuity of learning will be
applied, meaningful, fruitful and satisfying to learners.
