IV. PROCEDURES
A. Reviewing “Good morning, class! I hope you're all doing well today. As a quick reminder, in
previous lesson our last meeting, we finished discussing the concepts of matter and phase change.
or presenting Let's do a quick review before moving forward. Who can remind us of some key
the new lesson points we covered?” “That's correct! Matter can indeed exist in various states
Elicit depending on its temperature and pressure. Can anyone give an example of each
state?” “Excellent examples! Now, let's move on to phase change. Who remembers
what phase change is all about?” “That's right! Phase change involves the
conversion of matter from one state to another due to changes in temperature or
 pressure.” “Now, let's move our focus to a new topic for today: atoms. As some of
you may recall from our previous discussion, we touched upon the basics and
today, we'll discuss deeper into the structure of atoms and explore their
fascinating properties.”
“As we begin with discussion today, aside from the information that we have
tackled with the previous discussions, Have any of you heard about subatomic

lesson Neutrons play a crucial role in maintaining the stability of the nucleus. Now, let's
Engage explore further into the world of subatomic particles and their concepts.”
“Neutrons help stabilize the nucleus by balancing the repulsive forces between
protons.”
“Today, before we discuss our discussion, I'd like each of you to watch a brief video about
atoms. It will give us a foundational understanding of the topic.”

GUIDE QUESTIONS:
● What are the three main subatomic particles found in atoms, and what are their
charges?
● How do neutrons, protons, and electrons contribute to the structure of an atom?
● Can you explain the roles of neutrons, protons, and electrons in determining the
properties of different atoms? (Students will watch the Video played on the TV)
D. Discussing new “Let's quickly recap what we learned from the video we watched” “That's correct!
concepts and In the video, we explored the fundamental building blocks of matter: atoms. As
practicing new you all mentioned from the previous discussions, atoms are composed of three
skills #1 main subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons. “Let's proceed first
Explore with what an atom is! Can someone still remember?” “Indeed, An atom is the
smallest unit of matter that retains the properties of an element. Think of it as the
building block of everything around us, from the air we breathe to the food we eat.
Atoms are incredibly tiny, so small that you would need a powerful microscope to
see them.” “Great question! Atoms are composed of even smaller particles called
subatomic particles. The three main subatomic particles are protons, neutrons,
and electrons. Protons and neutrons reside in the nucleus at the center of the
atom, while electrons orbit around the nucleus, take a look at the photo”

“Protons have a positive charge, neutrons have no charge (they're neutral), and
electrons have a negative charge. These charges are what allow atoms to interact
with each other and form chemical bonds.” “Another great question! Scientists
have conducted experiments and observations to determine the structure of
atoms. Through techniques like spectroscopy and particle accelerators, we've been
able to probe the inner workings of atoms and understand the arrangement of
their subatomic particles.” “The protons and neutrons in the nucleus are held
together by strong nuclear forces. These forces are incredibly powerful and keep
the nucleus stable, despite the repulsive forces between positively charged
protons.” “The electrons orbit around the nucleus in specific energy levels or
shells. These orbits are like pathways that the electrons follow, similar to planets
 orbiting around the sun. The electrons are attracted to the positively charged
nucleus but are also kept in their orbits by their motion.” “Unfortunately, no.
Atoms are incredibly tiny, much smaller than the wavelengths of visible light, so
they can't be directly observed with a regular microscope. However, scientists have
developed powerful instruments like electron microscopes that allow us to
indirectly observe and study atoms.” “While we can't directly see atoms, scientists
use a combination of experimental observations, mathematical models, and
theoretical frameworks to understand their behavior and properties. Through
careful experimentation and analysis, we've been able to unlock many mysteries
of the atomic world” “No worries because we will further discuss that tomorrow!
We've had a great discussion about atoms and their structure. I hope you've all
learned something new! Before we wrap up for today, does anyone have any
burning questions or topics they'd like to discuss?” “Alright then, if there are no
more questions, let's conclude today's class. Remember to review your notes and
be ready for our next lesson. Have a great day, everyone!”
“Before we wrap up our discussion for today, I'd like to hear from you. Does
anyone have any real-life examples or thoughts that relate to our topic about
subatomic particles of an atom?” “Absolutely, Student 1! That's a great
connection. Electrons are one of the subatomic particles of an atom, and they play

skills #2 “Yes, definitely! Radiation often involves subatomic particles such as alpha
Explore particles, beta particles, and gamma rays. These particles are emitted from
unstable atomic nuclei during radioactive decay processes, and they can have
various effects on living organisms and materials.” “Now, if there are no more
questions or thoughts, let's wrap up for today. Remember to review your notes,
and I'll see you all in our next class.”
