CURRICULUM STATEMENT
To get an awareness about the content or concept Physical
Changes through discussion, observation, experiments and evaluate
through group discussions and asking questions.
CONTENT ANALYSIS
New terms
Useful and harmful changes
Natural and artificial changes
Slowly and quickly produced
Controllable and uncontrollable changes
Physical changes
Facts
All the things in the world is changed every moment
When water changes into water vapour the
arrangement of water molecule has changed
Water becomes water vapour when it is heated
Matter has mainly three states
Water is seen in three states of matter as solid, liquid
and gas
Rock is converted to sand is a useful change
Bomb blast is an artificial change
Physical changes are temporary changes
No new compounds are formed in physical changes
Physical changes are irreversible

CONCEPT
Matter is seen in solid, liquid and gaseous states.
When matter is change temporarily and there is o new product is
formed then such type of changes are known as physical changes.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
Enables the pupil to develop
Remembering :
Remembering different types of changes happening around
him
Retrieving the changes that happening around him in past
Listing the major changes happens in daily life
Understanding :
Understanding the facts and concepts related to the topic
changes
Classifying the different types of changes on the basis of
their characteristics
Inferring the ideas about changes through experiments and
discussions
Applying :
Applying the ideas attained about changes to a new and
unfamiliar situation
Using the knowledge about changes in daily life situations
Analyzing :
Differentiating the various features and characteristics of
physical changes
Evaluating :
Detecting the positive and negative consequences of
physical changes
Scientific attitude :
By showing curiosity towards natural changes
Process skills :
The pupil develop process skills like
Observing the experiment showing how physical changes
occurs
Experimenting skill though doing various experiments
related to physical changes
Classifying the different types of changes on the basis of
their characteristics
Comparing the figures showing the arrangement of
molecules in different states of water
PRE-REQUISITES
Matter has three states; solid, liquid and gas

CLASS ROOM INTERACTION
PROCEDURE
EXPECTED PUPIL
RESPONSE
Preparation
Teacher making a friendly conversation with
students.
Teacher shows two pictures to students. One
picture is of a village which is 30 years ago and
the second one is the present day situation of
that village.
What things you observation these figures?
Yes. Now we can study about the various
changes.

Presentation
Divide the students into groups.

Activity 1
Pupil lists many changes are taking place around
them.

Discussion point
Did you classify the listed changes into useful
and harmful changes?

Generalisation
Many changes happening around us are be
useful and harmful in our daily life.







Students observes the figures.

The village is changed to a
city.



Decay of vegetables, Rock is
converted to sand, Milk
becomes curd, Sun rises, Iron
rusts, Bomb blast, Raining
Useful
changes
Harmful
changes
Milk
becomes
curd
Rock is
converted
to sand
Raining
Decay of
vegetables
Iron rusts
Bomb blast

Activity 2
Pupil classify the changes into natural and
artificial.

Discussion points
Did you classify the listed changes into natural
and artificial?

Generalisation
Most of the artificial changes are harmful in our
nature.

Activity 3
Pupil trying to convert water into steam and
back into water.

Discussion points
Can you transform water into steam and
vice versa?
What happened when ice is melted?







Yes.
On heating, ice melts to give
water.







Natural

Artificial
changes
Decay of
vegetables
Sun rises
Raining
Rock

Breaking of
rock to black
stones
Bomb blast
Heating of
limestone
Generalisation
When temperature changes, water is converted
from one state to another. Phase change of
water is the result of absorptions and liberations
of heat energy. Because ice, water and steam
are chemically one and the same. But the
intermolecular distances, energy etc. are
different in each state which depends on the
quantity of heat energy given. Thus these
changes are temporary. Such changes are known
as physical changes. In physical changes no new
compounds are formed.

Activity 4
Ice when heated is converted into water. Water
on heating is converted into steam. Steam when
cooled gives water. Water on cooling gives ice.
Teacher gives students to the still picture of
water and water vapour at the molecular level.
Showing still pictures.

Discussion points
Which is the major factor in these
changes?
Is the changes are temporary?
What happened to the intermolecular
spaces?

















Water.
Yes.
The intermolecular distance
increases or decreases.


Generalisation
On heating, ice melts to give water and then
water is converted water is converted to steam
water is converted to steam. On cooling, steam
is converted to water and water is converted to
ice. All these changes are temporary.

Review questions
What is physical change?
Giving example for physical changes.
