Quarter
Times September 12, 2024 Materials)

I.OBJECTIVES
A. Content Standards Learners learn that the particle model explains the properties of solids, liquids, and gases and the
processes involved in changes of state.
B. Performance Standards By the end of the Quarter, learners recognize that scientists use models to describe the particle model of
matter. They use diagrams and illustrations to explain the motion and arrangement of particles during
changes of state. They demonstrate an understanding of the role of solute and solvent in solutions and
the factors that affect solubility. They demonstrate skills to plan and conduct a scientific investigation
making accurate measurements and using standard units.
C. Most Essential Learning Learning Competency:
Competencies/Objective Explain the changes of state in terms of particle arrangement and energy
s changes:
a. solid → liquid → vapor, and
b. vapor → liquid → solid;

Lesson Objectives:
By the end of the lesson, students will be able to:
a. Describe the arrangement and movement of particles in solids, liquids, and gases.
b. Explain the changes of state (solid ↔ liquid ↔ gas) in terms of particle arrangement and energy.

II. SUBJECT MATTER

a. Topics CHANGES IN MATTER
b. References Exploring Life through Science Series 7 pp. 41-47
c. Materials Slide deck, learning activity sheet
III. PROCEDURES Motivation/Engagement:
a. Introduction Begin the lesson by showing students an ice cube, a glass of water, and a kettle with steam (or
images/videos if actual materials are unavailable). Ask:
 What do you observe about these three samples?
 How are they similar and different?
 What do you think happens to the particles as ice melts or water boils?
 What’s new?
“Word Search - States of Matter”
Direction: Find the underlined words
in the above find-a-word.

Development Key Concepts:

 The particle model explains the properties of solids, liquids, and gases by describing how particles
are arranged and how much energy they have.
 Changes of state (melting, freezing, evaporation, condensation) are physical changes that involve
energy transfer and re-arrangement of particles.
Discussion and Demonstration:
 Solid to Liquid (Melting):
o When a solid (like ice) is heated, its particles gain energy, vibrate faster, and eventually
break free from their fixed positions, becoming a liquid where particles can move past each
other.
 Liquid to Gas (Evaporation/Boiling):
o Continued heating gives particles enough energy to break all attractive forces, allowing
 them to move freely as a gas.
 Gas to Liquid (Condensation) and Liquid to Solid (Freezing):
o Cooling removes energy, slowing particles. They come closer together, first forming a liquid,
then a solid as movement becomes minimal and arrangement becomes fixed again.
Visual Aids:
 Draw or show diagrams of particle arrangements in each state.
 Use a simple table:

State Particle Arrangement Particle Movement Energy Level

Solid Closely packed Vibrate in place Lowest

Liquid Close, but can move Slide past each other Medium

Gas Far apart Move freely Highest

b. Engagement �Learning Progress Checkpoint
Activity 1: “What’s the Matter?”
Identify which state of matter is described in each item below. Explain each property in terms of the
particle nature of matter.
1. has a definite shape and definite volume. 3. has generally high density.
2. has a definite volume but no definite shape. 4. is highly compressible.

Activity 2: “Particle Model Simulation”

In groups, students act as particles:
 Stand close together and vibrate (solid).
 Move around each other but stay close (liquid).
 Move freely around the room (gas).
Discuss: How did your movement change as you gained or lost “energy”? What does this represent in real
substances?
Activity 3: “Cut, Stick, Sort — Let the Particles Lead the Way!”
 Activity 4:

c. Assimilation Check for Understanding:

Short quiz or exit ticket:

1. Describe what happens to the particles of water as it changes from ice to liquid to steam.

2. Explain why energy is needed for melting and boiling, and why energy is released during
condensation and freezing.

Reflection:

Ask: How does the particle model help you understand everyday changes in matter?
d. IV. ASSESSMENT Assessment: Changes in Matter (Aligned to Objectives)
Part A: Multiple Choice
1. In which state are particles packed closely together in a regular pattern and only vibrate in place?
a) Solid b) Liquid c) Gas
2. How do particles move in a gas?
a) They vibrate in place
b) They move freely and rapidly in all directions
c) They slide past each other but stay close together
Part B: Diagram Labeling
Below are three boxes representing solids, liquids, and gases. Draw and label the arrangement of
particles in each box.
Solid:
Particles are tightly packed in a regular, fixed arrangement.
Liquid:
Particles are close together but move past each other randomly.
Gas:
Particles are far apart and move rapidly in all directions.

Part C: Matching
Match the change of state to the correct description:

Change of State Description

1. Melting a) Particles lose energy and move closer, becoming fixed in place

2. Freezing b) Particles gain energy and move freely, spreading far apart

3. Boiling/Evaporation c) Particles gain energy and slide past each other, breaking fixed positions

4. Condensation d) Particles lose energy and come closer, moving past each other less freely
 Answers:
1→c
2→a
3→b
4→d
Part D: Short Answer
1. What happens to the energy of particles when a solid melts to become a liquid?
Answer: The particles gain energy, vibrate more, and eventually move past each other, breaking their
fixed positions.
2. Explain what occurs to the arrangement and movement of particles when water vapor condenses into
liquid water.
Answer: The particles lose energy, move closer together, and their movement slows so they can slide
past each other but remain in contact.
