 INTRODUCTION

This strategic intervention material is create to help in attaining the

Content Standard which is “ The learners demonstrate an understanding of
the particle nature of matter as basis for explaining properties, physical
changes, and structure of substance and mixtures”, the Performance
Standard which is to “ The learners shall be able to present how water
behaves in its different states within the water cycle”, and the Learning
Competencies “ The learners should be able to (a) explain the properties of
solids, liquids, and gases based on the particle nature of matter na (b) explain
physical changes in terms of the arrangement and motion of atoms and
molecules

The activities focuses on the particle nature or molecular concept of the

matter like the water in different phases or states of matter.

Moreover, this SIM also helps in developing the cognitive, affective,

and the psychomotor domain of the learners thru promoting creative and
critical thinking skills and other higher order thinking skills, picture analysis,

 Activity 2: I Gain When I Lose!
In this activity, you will identify the phase changes that releases energy
or that requires energy in order to change from one state of matter to another.
Start from letter A then write your answer on the space provided.

________A. In the water cycle, sometimes it happens that a solid

precipitation in the form of snow falls on the ground due to a
very low temperature of the atmosphere.
________B. Water is liquid at room temperature, but can become solid when
its surrounding is zero degrees centigrade.
________C. Water droplets is formed on a surface of cold object
________D. Ice releases energy if its surrounding is relatively warm. The ice
has low energy which requires it to gain from the warmer body
causing it to change to liquid.
________E. When your mother boils water, you observe that smoke comes
out from the surface of the boiling water. The water gains energy
from the heat that causes some molecules to escape the liquid
phase.
________F. It is observed in mothballs when this substance changes directly
from its solid to gas phase, the reason why we don’t see any
liquid.

Were you able to name the letters A to F?!

 ASSESSMENT CARD

Activity 3: Fill In The Table!

In this activity, you will be able to classify the six phase changes and
determine which requires energy and which releases energy.

A Phase Change that Requires Energy absorbs energy in the form of

heat (thermal energy) like ice that melt and liquid boiling water that turns to
vapor.

A Phase Change that Releases Energy loses or gives off its thermal
energy to a body or object that has lower temperature.

 Activity 4: Transform Me! (Performance)

In this activity, you will use an egg tray and stones. The egg tray will
serve as the substance and the stones will represent the particle-nature of a
matter.

Directions:

1. Prepare 4 egg trays and 50 stones

2. Fill in the first egg tray with 24 stones, label it as the solid

3. Fill in the second egg tray with 12 stones, one space apart, then
label it as the liquid

4. Fill in the third egg tray with six stones, label it as the gas

5. Label the fourth egg tray as New Phase that represents the new
phase of the substance

SOLID LIQUID GAS New Phase

(Extra Egg Tray)

6. Melting is the process of phase change from solid to liquid, your

task is to remove 12 stones from solid and put it on the extra
egg tray by skipping one space alternately .

Q1. Take a look at the New Phase, what is the new state of
the substance?

7. From the twelve stones in the extra egg tray, remove the six
stones and what are left will characterize as the new phase.

Q2. Is it true that the new phase is gas? If not, what is the
new phase?

6
8. Return the stones to the Liquid substance then get the four stones from the
Solid substance (first row). Give three to four spaces for the distribution of
the stone on New Phase.

Q3. Gas is the New Phase of the substance, what type of phase
change is characterized by the immediate change from solid to
gas?

Q4. If you will return the stones to the Solid Substance, what phase
change takes place?

9. If the temperature is low, its kinetic energy decreases. Compressed the

stones in the liquid phase in the first three rows. As the particles
compressed, phase changing occurred.

Q5. What is the final Phase of the Liquid Substance after its particles
were compressed?

9. Use the third egg tray, the gas substance. Arrange the stones from row
1 to row 3 (one space apart). When gas particles are exposed to low
temperature, its kinetic energies will decrease, thus a phase change occurs.
Q6. What is the process of phase change from gas to liquid?

Science Concept: Intermolecular-forces

- The higher the Kinetic Energy, the farther the particles from one
another. The lower the Kinetic Energy, the closer the particles
from one another.

- Solid has the lowest Kinetic Energy, the gas has the highest
Kinetic Energy

Quarter III; Particle-Nature of Matter – Phase Change
Read and analyze the Concept/Principles below

Synthesis:
I. Phase Change that Requires Energy
1. Melting:
 Why does ice melt?
 When ice is placed in a glass of water, it melts. Because water
has a higher temperature than ice
 Heat energy flows from the water to the ice
 Heat transfer transpires from an object with a higher
temperature to an object with lower temperature
 The heat absorbed by the ice is used to break the hydrogen
bonds holding the water molecules together in the ice crystals
 When the molecules on the surface of the ice absorb enough
to break the hydrogen bonds, they move apart and enter the
liquid phase.
2. Vaporization:
 Once all the ice has melt, additional energy added to the
system increases the kinetic energy of the liquid molecules.
 Particles that escape the liquid enter the gas phase
 For a substance that is ordinarily a liquid at room temperature,
the gas phase is called gas or vapor
 Vaporization is the process by which a liquid changes to gas or
vapor.
 When vaporization occurs only on the surface of a liquid, the
process is called evaporation.
 Even at cold temperatures some water molecules have enough
energy to evaporate. As the temperature rises, more and more
molecules achieve the minimum energy level required to
escape from the liquid.
3. Sublimation:
 Solid iodine and solid carbon dioxide (dry ice) change directly
from solid phase to gas phase.
 Mothballs, which contain the compound naphthalene or p-
dichlorobenzene, sublimate.
 The process where substance changes from solid phase to gas
phase is called sublimation.
9
II. Phase Change that Release Energy
Examples of phase change that release energy to the surrounding are
the morning dew.
4. Condensation:
 When energy is lost by water molecules, its velocity is reduced.
 The formation of hydrogen bonds signals the change from the
vapor phase to the liquid phase
 Liquid molecules are denser than the vapor molecules.
 The process by which a gas or a vapor becomes liquid is called
condensation.
 Dew is the formed liquid droplets when water vapor condenses
on the leaves of grass
5. Freezing:
 Freezing is the reverse of melting
 The process of phase change from liquid to solid
 The freezing point is the temperature at which the liquid is
changed into crystalline solid.
6. Deposition:
 When water vapor comes in contact with a cold window glass
in winter, it forms a solid deposit on the window glass called
frost.
 Deposition is the process by which a substance change from a
gas or vapor to a solid state without first changing into the
liquid state.
 Deposition is the reverse of the sublimation.
 When water vapor high up in the air changes directly into solid
ice crystals, you get the snowflakes. Energy is released as the
crystal forms.

1. Activity 1: The Perfect Match

2. I Gain When I Lose!

Deposition a. In the water cycle, sometimes it happens that a solid

precipitation in the form of snow falls on the ground due
to a very low temperature of the atmosphere.

Freezing b. Water is liquid at room temperature, but can become

solid when its surrounding is zero degrees centigrade.

Deposition c. Water droplets is formed on a surface of cold object

MeltingU d. Ice releases energy if its surrounding is relatively

warm. The ice has low energy which require it to gain
from the warmer body causing it to change to liquid.

Vaporization e. When your mother boils water, you observed that

smoke comes out from the surface of the boiling water.
The water gain energy from the fire that causes some
molecules to escape the liquid phase.

Sublimation f. It is observe to a mothballs when this substance

changes directly from its solid to gas phae, the reason
why we don’t see any liquid.
