Changes that Matter Undergoes

Detailed Lesson Plan

Grade 5

I. Objectives:
At the end of the lesson the students should be;
a. Able to classify the changes of matter undergoes when given a description of the shape
and volume.
b. Able to describe the change that matter undergoes when given the name.
c. Able to identify examples of each change of matter when given either a description or the
name of matter.

II. Content:
Changes the Matter Undergoes: melting, evaporation, condensation, freezing, sublimation,
deposition.

Time Allotment: 1 hour

III. Learning Resources:

PowerPoint Presentation
Projector

IV. Procedure:

Teacher Students
Good morning class! Good morning ma’am!

Okay, Let us all stand and pray. (Students stand)

(Praying…) (Praying…)

Let me check first your attendance. As I call your

name say present.

(Checking the attendance…)

Now, let’s proceed to our new lesson. Which is the Yes, Ma’am!
Changes that Matter Undergoes. But first, do you
know what matter is?

Okay, who can give me the definition of matter? (Students raising their hands)
Okay, Chelsea? Matter is anything that has mass and takes
Up space.
Very Good!

Matter has different states. These are the solid, liquid and
Ma’am, solid has definite shape, and definite
gas. Do you have any idea what are these three volume while liquid has indefinite shape, and
means? definite volume and lastly, gas has indefinite
shape and indefinite volume.
Very Good!

Scientists study different changes that shape the

world around us. Let’s take a closer look at the states
of matter to see how those changes shape the world
around us.
Can someone give an example of a change in states Ma’am, for example when you get an ice in
of matter? the refrigerator. The ice will melt and turn
into liquid due to high temperature.
Very Good!
When something such as water turns from being
water to being ice, it is called change of state. There
are different changes that can take place.

For example, what do you call when a liquid changes Freezing, ma’am!
to a solid?

That’s right! How about when a solid changes to a That’s melting, ma’am!
liquid?

You’re right, again! And when liquid changes to a gas, Evaporation, ma’am!
this is what we call, what?
How about when gas changes into liquid? That’s condensation, Ma’am!

Now, let’s take a closer look at the causes of changes

in the states of matter.
One of the causes of changes in matter is energy.
When energy is applied to a solid, the tightly packed
particles of matter begin to move around, flowing
each other. The result is the movement of liquid. The
shape becomes indefinite. The volume, however,
does not change, because the particles are still part
of one another.

And when energy is applied to a liquid, the particles

That make up a liquid begin to move about so rapidly,
that they can no longer hold themselves together.
The result is the movement of gas. The shape is
 indefinite, and volume becomes indefinite. The
reverse happens to gas when energy is taken away.
Water vapour, for example begins to liquefy as it
cools. Remember the cool mornings when fog is
dense and close to ground? What happens? Dewdrops form, ma’am! The water vapours
in the air cool to form liquid drops on water.
Very Good!
When energy is taken away from liquid; the particles
in the liquid slow down to low movement. The
resulting solid, has definite shape and definite
volume.

Application:

I have an activity that you will be answering together (Listening…)

with your group mates.

You will be separated into groups for your mini lab

assignment. Each group will be given a box with an
object. The task is to hypothesize how the object(s)
can be changed from one state to another, what
element would be needed to change the object, and
if it would be permanent change or not. You must
work as a group to accomplish the task, and complete
a detailed report to be pass on our next meeting.

Evaluation:
Okay. That’s all for today. I will collect your activities
tomorrow.

Do you have any questions? (Students may asked or may not)

Closure:
Okay, class. Let’s continue our discussion next
meeting. You can now use the remaining time to talk
about your take home mini-lab activity. See you all
next meeting. Good bye! Good bye, ma’am!

V. Reflection:

Matter can undergo many changes such as melting, evaporation, freezing, sublimation, and deposition.
The changes in state matter may be temporarily or permanently. In this lesson it indicates how matter
undergoes different changes.
