This learning plan outlines a science unit for 3rd grade students on the topic of matter. The unit includes 7 activities to help students understand the three states of matter - solid, liquid, and gas - and observe their characteristics. Students will learn to classify objects as solids, liquids or gases, describe changes of state when matter is heated or cooled, and identify safety hazards in a laboratory. The final learning competency focuses on having students demonstrate their understanding by creating a video showing common household items and their different states of matter.

4. Form 102 OAL
INSTRUCTIONS:
You are an inspector of school laboratories. You are asked by a principal to ensure
safety of the school laboratory. He sends you a picture of the laboratory ( picture
found in science book page 10)
Identify three hazards you see in the picture. Through this form;
REFLECTION:
Write a short paragraph about the key concepts that you have learned from the
lesson. Write it in the box.
Learning Competency TRANSFER
LC 5: Create a video
that shows the
common things found
at home according to
their states.
Learning Targets:
I can discuss the
different states of
matter
Transfer Goal: The studentson their own in the long run will be ableto sharetheir
knowledgeabout thethreephasesof matterits characteristics and properties..
PERFORMANCE TASKS:
You are a TV Host The school principal asked you to host a science show in celebration
of the schools Science Week. In the show, you will present the differences and
similarities of liquids and gases. You have 3 minutes for your presentation.

Value Integration:
By becoming familiar with the laboratory you're working in and always following
proper safety procedures, you can help to prevent or eliminate hazards. You will also
know the proper steps to take in the unfortunate event that something does go
wrong.
