lesson or presenting activity sheet before the class starts.

ELICIT
Conduct a review about matter. Ask the following questions:
(3 min)
1. What is matter?
2. What are the three states of matter?

B. Establishing a Show an example of each of the three states of matter: chalk (solid),
purpose for the water (liquid), and air (gas). Ask the class: Have you ever wondered
lesson how do these states of matter look like in terms of their particles?
C. Presenting

#2
Ask the groups to answer the questions that follow at each task and
draw the diagrams for each station.

F. Developing mastery Conduct a post-activity discussion about the “Characteristics of

Matter” activity using the guide questions stated in the activity sheet.

During discussion, emphasize to the students the following

EXPLAIN characteristics of matter:
(20 min) a. Matter is made up of tiny particles.
b. The particles of matter are moving all the time.
c. These particles have spaces between them.
d. The particles of matter attract each other.
