III. PROCEDURES

A. Reviewing
previous lesson ELICIT:
or presenting Have you ever wondered what composes the things around you? Did you ask
the new lesson yourself what is really inside those objects? What do you think it is?
(5minutes)
B. Establishing a ENGAGE:
purpose for the Activity 1. Which is matter, which is not?
lesson
(10 minutes) Objectives:
C. Presenting
examples/ After performing this activity, you should be able to:
instances of the 1. identify common properties of matter;
new lesson 2. distinguish properties of matter from those of non-matter; and
3. demonstrate the skill of measuring mass.

Materials Needed:

1 teaspoon sugar in a plastic cup or small beaker ½ cup tapwater 1 piece,

stone or small rock 1 piece, ball (basketball, volleyball, or small beach ball) 3
pieces of leaves (from any plant or tree) 5 small wide-mouthed bottles or cups
or 150-mL or 200-mL beakers 1 platform balance or weighing scale 1 small air
pump

Procedure:
Is this matter? 1. Among the materials displayed in front of you, which do you
think is classified as matter? Put a check () under the appropriate column in
Table 1. You may make a table similar to the one below. With your group mates,
discuss the reason to explain your answer for each sample. Write your answer in
the last column.

Q1. What similarities do you observe among the first five given samples? Write
these common characteristics.

Q2. Does each sample have a measurable mass? Prove your answer by
demonstrating how you measure the mass of each sample. Record the mass
you got for each sample.

Q3. Do you think that each sample occupies space? Write the reason(s) for your
answer.

Q4. How about smoke? Does it have mass? Does it occupy space? Explain your
answer.

Q5. Do you think that heat and light have mass? Do they occupy space?
Explain your answer.

F. Developing EXPLAIN:
mastery  Lecture-Discussion Method
(Leads to  The students will answer the following questions:
Formative 1.What are the common properties of matter?
Assessment) 2. Based on the activity, Do they have the same characteristics? Why? Or Why
(15 minutes) not?
2.Why heat and light are not considered matter?
G. Finding practical
applications of
concepts and
skills in daily
ELABORATE:
living
Let the students draw the arrangement of particles in solid, liquid and gases.
(10 minutes)
H. Making
generalizations
and abstractions
about the lesson
I. Evaluating EVALUATE:
learning A. Identify the following samples whether it is matter or non- matter. Put
(5 minutes) check (√) if it is matter (X) if it is non-matter.
_____1. Pencil
_____2. Oxygen
_____3. Sound
_____4. Cooking oil
_____5. Smoke

B. Distinguish matter from non-matter:

6. The teacher uses a pen in checking papers. Is the pen a sample of matter or
non-matter? Why do you think so?
J. Additional EXTEND:
activities for Write ten objects or anything that you can find in your home. Identify whether if
application or it is matter or non-matter.
