Unit Overview
Unit Title
Matter in Action
Unit Summary
The Matter can be seen everywhere. Students will observe different objects and materials. Students will
now become aware of their different characteristic such as shape, weight, definiteness of volume and ease
of flow. Students is now ready to grouped objects and materials through their characteristic into solid,
liquid, gas. And aside from being grouped into solid, liquid, or gas students will now know that it can be
grouped according to their ability to float or sink, and whether they decay or not.

Assessment Summary
Page 4 of 7
The unit was introduced to the student using various tools and activities that makes students experience the
different forms and properties of matter. The teacher will discuss what students experiences and learned
during the activities and test. Through this it enable students to have strong foundation and knowledge
towards the unit topic. In this case, the students have the full knowledge they will be asked by the teacher
to organize their own science fair and create their output. But before this big event students are given
enough time and supervision to make the event successful. After all of the activity, students will rate their
own members in their contribution and teachers will give the final remarks to students output/experiments.
In this process, students will have more concrete learning and strong foundation of the knowledge after
this unit ends.

Instructional Procedures
Week #1
Introduction of the unit and determining students knowledge
The teacher will start the unit through anticipation guide activity, to help the teacher know the expectation
and the background knowledge of the students towards the unit. This activity will also help students
determine for themselves what they wanted to learn in the unit. The teacher will introduce the unit through
a film viewing activity about the topic. After the film viewing students will answer a reaction paper on
what they learn or realized after they watched the film. The teacher will discuss the different vocabulary,
terms, and concepts that are essential in learning the unit topic.
Week #2 & #3
Nature trip, group conference3 and brainstorming/research
The students with the supervision of some teachers will have a trip around the campus to be able for the
students experience the different forms and properties of matter. After the trip, students will answer a
reflective journal to determine students learning in the trip. To understand more the unit students will
organize a science fair with the supervision of the teacher. Students will be divided into small groups to
make them brainstorm about what project they wanted to have or showcase during the said event. The
students will show an experiment that will show the changes on the forms of matter, for example: solid to
liquid, liquid to gas. The students are also given time to go to library to make a research for their final
output for the end of the unit.
The teacher will give the required projects of the students in the whole unit such as slogan making using
software in the computer that allows students to draw or create the slogan. A PowerPoint presentation or
reporting activity about their final output and a video clip presentation that will supports their final output
on experiment should be prepared for their final presentation of their project. The teacher will discuss the

guidelines and mechanics of the project/output. A rubrics will be given that will serve as a tool for the
teacher to assess students work.
Week #4
Laboratory Experiment
The teacher will show a sample experiment that will give the students an idea on how to create their own
output or experiment. After the sample experiment activity students will execute their planned
experiment/output.
Week #5
Science Fair and Reflection
Students will present their planned experiment or output and their other projects such as slogan,
PowerPoint presentation, and the video clip. The teacher will give the final remarks towards the students
output/experiment by using the rubrics which was given presented to the students.
After the activity the leaders of their own respective groups will grade the participation of each members.
Each students will answer a reflection log towards their journey in the entire unit and their personal
experience in organizing an event which is the science fair.
Accommodations for Differentiated Instruction

Create a list of websites to gather information from for the research projects.
Give students a handout to visually reinforce how the bibliography should look.
Allow the students to see examples and rubrics and to ask questions before
starting the major tasks in the unit.
