1.2 Properties of Matter
SUBJECT: Science 8
DATE: JANUARY 29, 2024
TIME: 11:10 am -12:00 noon
I. OBJECTIVES At the end of the lesson the pupils should be able to:
1. Identify and categorize various properties of matter (such
as mass, volume, density, states of matter, etc.)
2. Conduct experiments or demonstrations to measure and
observe properties of matter.
3. Appreciate the importance of understanding the
properties of matter in explaining natural phenomena and
solving practical problems.
B. Reference/s
Review Motivation:
1) Teaching Strategy: Interactive Quizzes
Instructional Materials: Quiz questions, buzzers
- Conduct a quiz game where students answer questions about the properties of
matter. Use buzzers to make it more engaging.
ANALYSIS:
Activity 1 - Through the investigation of density, students were able to understand
the relationship between mass, volume, and density. They also learned how to
calculate density and apply it to different objects. This activity connects to the main
objective by allowing students to identify and categorize the property of density and
appreciate its importance in practical applications.
ABSTRACTION:
The main point of the objective is to identify and categorize various properties of
matter, conduct experiments or demonstrations to measure and observe these
properties, and appreciate the importance of understanding them in explaining
natural phenomena and solving practical problems. By understanding the
properties of matter, students can analyze and explain the behavior of substances,
make informed decisions, and solve real-world problems.
APPLICATION:
Task 1 - Role-Playing
Teaching Strategy: Role-Playing
Task: Students will act out scenarios where they apply their knowledge of matter
properties to solve practical problems. For example, they can role-play as scientists
investigating a crime scene and using forensic techniques to analyze substances
found at the scene.
Assignment:
1) Assignment Overview: Research Project
- Students will research a specific substance and its properties, such as water or
iron. They will create a report that includes an explanation of the properties,
practical applications, and its significance in explaining natural phenomena.
(Teacher's Guide)
- Assessment Question: Choose a substance and explain its properties, practical
applications, and how it can be used to explain a natural phenomenon. (Actual
