Topic MODULE 1: THE PARTICLE NATURE OF MATTER

Sub Topic ARE THE PARTICLES OF MATTER MOVING?
Time Allotment 50 minutes
Learning Competencies and Objectives
Content Standard: The learners demonstrate an understanding of the particle nature of matter as basis for explaining properties,
physical changes, and structure of substances and mixtures.
Performance Standard: The learners shall be able to present how water behaves in its different states within the water cycle.

Learning Competencies The learners should be able to explain the properties of solids, liquids, and gases based on the particle nature
and Code of matter (S8MT-IIIa-b-8)
Objectives: The learners should be able to:
1. differentiate the Solid ,Liquid, and Gas
2. Determine the particles of matter whether it is moving or not.
3. Observe what happen to the particles of matter when it is moving.

Key Points:
Matter has three states namely: solid, liquid and gas. Each state has different
arrangement of particles.
 Solid It has definite shape and volume because its particles are
closely packed together in a fixed position. These particles vibrate and
are held together by strong attractive forces. It is difficult to compress
the particles.
 Liquid It has a definite volume and takes the shape of the container.
Liquid flows easily because its particles have enough space and have
less attractive force. The spaces in the particles allows particles to be
compressed a little bit.
 Gas It takes the volume and shape of the container. Gas particles are
far from each other that is why they have the weak attractive force and
 can flow easily. They occupy the entire space available. The large
spaces in between particles allows particles to be compressed easily.

ELABORATE (10 mins) Materials/Assessment

Tools
Everything we see or even not seen in the universe is matter. Matter is anything Laptop and projector
that occupies space and has mass. Leaves, human hearts, toys, flour, smoke, and
air are examples of matter because they occupy space and have mass. Light and
sound are not examples of matter since they do not occupy space nor have mass.
Matter is made of tiny particles. These particles are arranged depending on their
states. The arrangement of particles of each state gives matter its own unique
properties. A solid material, a liquid material, and a gas inside a balloon can be
viewed sub-microscopically as substances composed of tiny particles.

a. Does it indicate special cases including but not limited to continuation of lesson Yes, I did not able to discuss the “EXPLAIN” part because I just

REFLECTION
1. Which teaching technique(s), strategy(ies), method(s) and approach(es) a. Collaborative learning and discussion – Students can
are: share there learnings to the group and coach the other
average learners.
a. Effective and why?
b. Ineffective and why not? B. Questioning- I should try to change my techniques in
creating a logical questions so that the students can
develop thinking skills.
2. What difficulties/challenges did I encounter today and how can I address or The same to my previous classes I’m still having difficulties
handle them? to manage my classroom, since my voice is not modulated
enough. I’m trying to practice the strategy and technique to
control the noises and other distracted movements of my
students.
3. What help do I need from my principal or supervisor to address the Since I’m still practicing my profession, I need more
difficulties/challenges I encountered? guidance to correct my ways on how to handle the
students.
