as Solid, Liquid,
and Gas
Grade 3 Lesson 4
At the end of the lesson, you should be able to:
OUTCOMES
LEARNING 1 differentiate objects as solid, liquid, and gas;
*object in focus is
the can
REMEMBER
Matter does not remain the same,
instead it undergoes changes. One of the
changes that matter undergoes is the
phase change. It is the change in state of
matter. The different kinds of phase
change are freezing, melting, evaporation,
and condensation.
Are you curious about new
things? A lot of people
when they encounter
something new they try to
identify the object using
their senses.
When it is food, people
observe, smell, and taste
it. When it is a new toy,
children take time to
study and feel how the toy
works.
As you have learned,
objects can be classified
as solid, liquid, and gas.
Your senses will be your
best tools to do this task.

1. What happens when
EXPLAIN
you pour milk tea into an
empty glass with cheese
cloth on top? Identify the
solid material and liquid
materials in step A.
Interactive
Components of the milk tea

are separated. The solid
materials are the pearls.
The liquid material is the
liquid mixture of milk and
tea.

EXPLAIN 2. Which of the objects fall
under solid? Liquid? Gas?
Interactive
EXPLAIN
Solid – pearls
Liquid – liquid mixture of
milk and tea
Gas – none

EXPLAIN
3. What are the things you
considered in grouping the
objects?
Interactive
EXPLAIN
I considered the following:
- ease of flow
- whether the material is
compact or not
- whether it has its own
shape or none
Interactive
Matter may be
classified into solids,
liquids, or gases.
Understanding the
properties of each state
of matter will help you
in grouping them.
Grouping Solids

An example of solid material includes:
steel
Grouping Liquids
There are two things you need to observe when you try to identify
liquid objects.
(1) a liquid takes up space; and
(2) liquids can fill the shape of any container they poured in.
When you transfer a liquid to a different container, it will fill the bottom first
until it takes the shape of the container. However, if the new container is
larger than the first one, it will only fill the same amount of space it took up
before. Liquids also move in a steady stream. It can also make objects wet
because when it is poured in an open space it will scatter and try to occupy
the space that is available.

Most gases are visible to
the eye.

Solids have different
types of texture.

Gases spread out equally
to fill the space of a
container.
Read each statement carefully. On the blank,
