Matter and its Properties

By the end of the lesson, the learners are able to:

1. recall the basic properties and some special properties of matter

2. tell the importance of the properties of matter in relation to its usefulness

The learners are able to:

1. classify the properties and matter of liquid, solid and gas

REMINDERS: PLEASE BRING SCIENTIFIC CALCULATOR 

POWER POINT PRESENTATION 

Starting the lesson by asking the pupils if they can still remember what matter is.

The teacher will show pictures with the word "Solid, Liquid, Gas" and will proceed in showing pictures and let them identify what type of matter is that. The teacher will give short review of what matter is. Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass.

Everything is made of matter: the food you eat, the clothes you wear, the water you drink, and even the books, magazines, and gadgets you use. 

After, the teacher will now proceed in digging further by discussing the properties of the three (solid, liquid and gas).

The general properties of matter include mass, volume, and density.

1. Mass

Mass is the amount of matter present in an object. Despite differences, solid, liquid, and gas have mass. The mass of solid objects can be easily measured using instruments like a platform balance or a weighing scale. An object’s mass is the same no matter where it is placed. This is unlike weight that depends on the object’s

location. For instance, a ball’s mass is the same on Earth and on the moon, but its weight on Earth is actually different than on the moon. This is due to the ball’s mass that is affected by the gravitational force exerted by Earth that is also different on the moon. Thus, weight is the mass of an object relative to a place’s gravitational

force or gravity.

2. Volume

    Volume is the amount of space occupied by matter. It is easy to determine how much space solid and liquid objects take up. The volume of gases, on the other hand, is a little harder to measure. However, it can still be observed. The boy in Figure 1.2 increases the volume of the balloon as he blows air into it.

                              Volume (V) = mass/density   

3. Density

    Density is the amount of matter (mass) present in a given volume of a substance. Density is the same for all similar substances. Thus, even if the mass and volume of two pieces of a similar type of wood are different, their densities could be the same. Density is, therefore, a constant value derived from the mass of a substance per unit of volume.   

Values - giving importance to the surroundings or things around us
