Lesson Plan in Science

Name of Teacher: Lyka Jane Y. Castillote

Subject: Science
Topic: Matter Grade level: Grade 8 Quarter: Module: 1
Lesson Title: The Particle Nature of Matter Duration: 1 hr
Competency: Explain the properties of solids, liquids, and gases based on the particle nature of
matter.
Key Understanding to be Developed: All matter is particulate in nature.
Learning Objectives: Knowledge Explain the particulate nature of matter
Skills Create situations that matter is particulate in nature
Attitude Infer the particulate nature of matter
Resources Needed Sugar, water, plastic cups, food coloring, manila paper, pentel pen,
balloon
Elements of the Plan Methodology
Preparations Introduction
Who among you here loves to do the laundry? Or let
-How will I make the me rephrase it, who among you here has washed
learners ready? their clothes either by hand or machine?
-How do I prepare
the learners for the Ever have a nasty stain on your shirt that won’t come
new lesson? out in the wash, no matter how many times you try,
-How will I connect and yet that same stained shirt comes back from the
my new lesson with dry cleaner looking like new?
the past lesson?
Why do you think this is so? (Let students give their
answers and the teacher writes them down on the
board.) Ok let us check your answers through this
activity.

Students will be grouped.

Activity Part I Sugar and Water

1. In a clean and dry plastic cup, mark the volume of the
water with the pentel pen.
2. Add sugar to the cup. Stir thoroughly. Mark again the
volume of the solution.
3. Then taste the water.
4. Write or draw your observations on the manila paper.

Part II Food Coloring and Water

Add a few drops of food coloring to a plastic cup of clean
water. DO NOT STIR. Observe what happens. Draw one
“particle picture” showing the particles of food coloring
and water immediately after you added the coloring, and
 another “particle picture” showing them after a couple of
minutes.

Part III
Pass the balloon around and let each group member smell
it.
Analysis 1. What is the taste of the water after adding sugar?
2. What is now the volume of the water after adding the
sugar?
3. What changes do you observe in the sugar and/or
water?
4. Can you identify the “mystery substance” inside in
part3?
5. How do your observations provide evidence that the
“mystery substance” is made of tiny particles that are in
constant motion?
6. From your observations, what can you infer about the
rubber material of the balloon?
7. How do your observations provide evidence that matter
is composed of discrete particles?
8. What can you infer about the nature of these particles?

Abstraction What is matter?

Practice Application I see….
I feel…
-What practice I think….
exercises/application I will….
activities will I give to
the learners?
