this TV screen. All you have to do is watch

clearly and identify the names of each object.

the balloon?

Very good. We call all those things as matter.

Wallet, bottled water and balloon teacher.

Rectangle

Yes

Yes.

It is colorful teacher.

There is air inside the balloon.

Matter.

t is anything that

occupies space and has weight/mass. (Repeat

after me)

All the things around us is a matter. Even the

air that we inhale and exhale is also a matter.

What do we call the things around us?

Children, there are three phases of matter.

These are solid, liquid and gas.

The first one is solid. Solids have definite

shapes that occupy definite spaces. Solids can

be held and seen. (Teacher holding the wallet

presented a while ago.) Please come in front

and touch the wallet. Describe what you feel.

What is its shape?

Very good Steven. Now, can you please get a

solid object inside your bag? Come here in

front and show it to your classmates.

What is the shape of the notebook?

Is it soft or hard?

Is it heavy or light?

Is it a solid?

clap.

So, solids have definite shape. It can be held

Now, the second phase of matter is Liquid.

Ask a pupil to show his/her water jug to the

class.

I have here an empty glass. Will you fill the

glass with the liquid from the jug? (Ask the

pupils to describe the shapes of water being

poured.) What happened to the water inside

glass? Does it take the shape of the glass?

and has weight/mass.

Matter

It is smooth teacher.

Rectangle teacher.

Teacher, this is a notebook.

Rectangle teacher.

Hard

Light

Solid

Pupils will repeat the meaning of solid.

The pupil will tell his/her classmates what the

jug contains.

It only shows that liquid takes the shape of

the container.

(Teacher holding the bottled water and

balloon) From these two remaining objects,

which do you think is liquid?

Show the last remaining object.) What am I

holding?

What is inside the balloon?

Very good. This inflated balloon is filled with

air and air is an example of a gas.

Can you see the air?

Air cannot be seen because it is colorless. But

it can be felt. Air is a matter in a gas/gaseous

state.

There are also gases that can be seen such

smoke and clouds. (Pictures of smoke and

clouds to be presented.)

(The teacher will ask a pupil to deflate a

balloon and feel the air coming out from it.)

Does the shape of the balloon changed?

So, Gas takes the shape of its container;

therefore, it does not have a definite shape.

Let us have more examples so that you can

really differentiate and identify the states of

matter. You are going to have a group

activity.

(The teacher will explain the group activity.)

SOLID LIQUID GAS

Yes.

Pupils will repeat the meaning of liquid.

The bottled water teacher.

Balloon.

There is an air inside the balloon.

No.

Yes teacher.

Pupils will repeat the meaning of Gas.
