1. The lesson plan describes a science lesson for 5th grade students about physical and chemical changes in matter. 2. Students are divided into groups to observe and compare physical changes in matches and paper through breaking, burning, and tearing. 3. The teacher then explains that physical changes alter the object's form but not its internal composition, while chemical changes result in a new substance through changes in molecular composition. Examples of each type of change are discussed.

IV. Procedure:
A. Motivation:
Teacher’sActivity Pupils’ Activity
Good Morning!
Please observeyoursurroundingsandany
piecesof messyousee putit onthe trash,and
alignedyourchairsproperly.
VeryGood!You may nowbe seated.
Last weekwe discussed all aboutmatter.May
I knowwhocan recall what matteris?
Good MorningSir!
(pickingpiecesof paperoranydirt andaligningthe
chairs)
(pupilswillbe ontheirseat)
Student#1:matteris anythingthathas massand
takesup space

2. Another?
VeryGood
Please give them3claps
Before we startto our lessontoday,Iwould
like togroupyou into two (2).Firstgroup are on
my leftside andthe secondgroupwill be onmy
rightside.Youmay nowgroup yourselveswhile
youare singing“The more we get together...”and
simultaneouslymake awide circle onyourgroup’s
place.
I have here samplesof twoobjectconverted
intotwo differentforms.
I wouldlike youtoobserve changeshappened
by comparingitinterms of size,colorand texture.
Understood?
In groupone,the task will be Matchesonits
original composition,BurnedandBroke into
pieces.
In grouptwo,will be Papersonitsoriginal
composition,BurnedandTear intopieces
You may start now!
Student#2:Matter is anything,suchasa solid,liquid
or gas that has massand occupiesspace.
(unitingeverygroupwill singing“The more we get
Together”)
“The more we gettogether,together,together.The
more we get togetherthe happierare we.
Andyour friendsare myfriendandmyfriendsare
your friends
The more we gettogetherthe happierare we.”

Yes,Sir!

3. Okay,Time isup.
Please stopwritingand postall yourwork on
the board.
Choose two representativestoexplainwhat
youhave observed.
VeryGood.
Please give Group1 an ANGEL CLAP.
VeryGoodalso.
Give Group 2 an OISHICLAP.
(everygroupwill posttheirworksonthe board)
Group 1 Rep.:
The matchesthat broke intopieceshave smallersize

veryfar fromits characteristicsintermsof size,color

B. Presentation:
You all have verygoodanswerand your
answersare much closedtoeach otherbut
differentvariables.
In Group One,Matchesand inGroup Two
Paper.
A while ago,twoof your classmate defines
whatmatter is,and one of themanswerthat
matterhas itsstates.
Who can give me one state?
Another?yes
and lastone.
Verygood,please give them 4claps
(Listening)
Student#1:Solid
Student#2: Liquid
Student#3: Gas
Class:4x clap

4. Andmattersmay alsochange.
Changesinmattermay occur whena force or
energyapplied inanobject.
For example (getapiece of paper)
I will tearthispaperintopieces.
What changeddidyounoticed?
Verygood.The size,itbecame smallerthan
the original
AndWhy do youthinkso?
Verywell said
I tear itwithmy twohands,it will neverbe
tearingintopiecesuntil someone or
somebodywill doright?
How aboutthe lightedmatches,what
changeddidyounoticed?
Okayanother. How aboutthe color?
Verygood,and last
VeryGoodpupils.
Give yourselvesaYES CLAP.
What we didearlier(MatchesandPapers
activity) undergochanges,
Andmay be classifiedintoPhysical or
Chemical change.
(listening)
Student#1:it became smaller.
Student#2:because youexertedforce forittobe
transformedinto pieces.
Student#1:it became ashes
Student#2:the color became black
Student#3:became rougherbecause of itssize.
(Clap) 1 2 3
(Stampyourfeet) 1 2 3
YES...
Physical Change Chemical Change
- An objectmaychange inform but
not inthe kindof moleculesithas
- The moleculesof anobject
changedintoanotherkindof molecules
and a new substance withnew properties
isformed.
Examples:
logschangedintowoodchips
Examples:
rust inirons

5. a fruitslicedintopieces
bigrocks change intosmall rocks
waterchange intoice
ice or water intowatervapour

tear paper

spoiledfood
Whenwe say Physical Change, the internalmake-
up of the object(molecules) staysthe same,even
afterthe change — onlyitsform changes.
Justlike the paperI tear intopieces.Onlythe size
and shape changedbutnot itsinternal component.
Physical Change isalsocalledReversible change
where inthe resultingelementcanbe opposite into
the objectbefore.Changesthatcanbe reversed.
Take a lookat thischange.
What state of matterthe ice is?
Verygood.
Andwe all knowthat when we put the ice intoa
hotterplace it melts.Butthe compositionof the ice
isthe same as the water,onlythat itchangesit
form.Understood?
Do youthinkwe bringback the waterintoitsearlier
form?How?
(Listening)
(Listening)
Student#1:Solid
Class:Yes.
Student#1: Yes,we can putit on the colderplace
such as refrigerator.

6. OkayVeryGood.
Andwhenwe say Chemical Change, the internal
make-up(molecules) of the objectchanges.
Unlike aphysical change,chemical changescannot
be reversed.Changesthatcannotbe reversedare
calledNon-reversible Change.We cannotbringit
back to itsoriginal form.
Everyday, we experience chemical changesin
manythingsaroundus.
How aboutyou.
What youhave noticedto the burnedmatches
fromactivity.
Okay,youmay be seated.
Thinkof the drywoodin the fireplace.Whenwe
lightthe woodup,it burnsgentlyandaftera while
it turnsintoashes.Asit burns,itproducesheat,
lightandsmoke whichescapesthroughthe air.The
heat,light,fire andsmoke are all good
characteristicsof a chemical reaction,whichresult
ina completely new matter—ashes.
Note that the ashesfromthe burningwoodhave an
entirelynewmolecularcomposition.Itcannever
be turnedback intowoodagain.
Understood?
Okayhere are the otherexample of Physical change
(Callingthe studenttostandupand answerthe
question)
Student#1: it became asheswhenlighted,the
coloris differenttothe original anditstexture is
rougher.
(Listening)
Class:YesSir.
Physical Change

7. Andon the otherhand,the Chemical Changed
Chemical Change
Who can give me otherexamplesinPhysical
Change?
VeryGood,Another?
Okay,good.
How aboutChemical Change.
Excellent.Lastone.
Wow,veryexcellent.
Student#1: blendedfruits
Student#2: crumplingpaper.
Student#3: spoiledmilk
Student#4: digestingfood.
C. Application:
I have here an activitythatyouwill be answering
togetherwithyourgroups.
You will goinfrontone byone and give examples
on the followingchangeswe tackled.Alternately
give example on the Physical ChangeandChemical
change.
Understood?
