UNIT1
In this first unit, students will l
earn the concept
of matter, their characteristic
s, classifications,
and the changes they under
go. By observing
different objects, they will bec
ome aware of the
different characteristics such a
s shape, weight,
definiteness of volume, and ea
se of flow. Using
their characteristics, they will be
able to group the
objects into solids, liquids, and
gases. Also, using
the knowledge of the characte
ristics of the states
of matter, they will investigate wa
ys in which these
states change as affected by te
mperature.

the students explain the meaning of each term. Discuss their
explanations. Correct misconceptions if there are any.
16 Ask the students: Is the change in the state of matter temporary or
permanent?. Discuss their answers.17 Tell the students that matter is made up of particles, and the difference
in states depends on how the particles are far apart from each other.
18 Explain the differences of states of matter using paper plates and
marbles. Describe how near or far the particles are in solid, liquid,
and gas. Using the same set-up—marbles and plates—describe
how heat and temperature affect matter and cause change in state.

UNIT1
In this unit, students will learn the concept of matter, their characteristics, classification, and the changes they undergo. By observing different materials, students will become aware of the different material characteristics such as shape, weight, definiteness of volume, and ease of flow. Using these characteristics, they will be able to group matter into solids, liquids, and gases. Knowing the characteristics of the states of matter will enable students to understand better how state changes due to change in temperature.

Learning Goals
At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:1 classify matter into solid, liquid, or gas based on its properties; and2 describe proper ways of handling solids, liquids, and gases.
Teaching Notes
Key Concepts
1 Matter can be classified into solids, liquids, or gases.2 A solid has a definite shape, size, and volume.3 Solids can be circle, rectangle, square, triangle, or irregular. They
can be small or big. They can occupy small or big spaces.4 Solids vary in hardness, texture, brittleness, ductility, and malleability.5 Hardness refers to the ability of a solid to resist scratching.6 Texture refers to how the surface of an object feels when touched.
The texture of a solid is described as smooth or rough.7 Brittleness is a measure of how easily a solid material breaks into
several pieces. 8 Ductility refers to the ability of a solid material to be pulled or stretched
into thin wires.9 Malleability refers to the ability of a solid material to be flattened or
hammered into thin sheets.10 A liquid has no definite shape. However, it has a definite volume.11 The volume of a liquid can be measured using instruments such as
