This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help you
master
Whatchanges
I Need in properties of materials when exposed to certain condition. The
scope of this module permits it to be used in many different learning situations.
to language
The Know used recognizes the diverse vocabulary level of students. The lessons
are arranged to follow the standard sequence of the course. But the order in which
you read them can be changed to correspond with the textbook you are now using.
The module focuses on achieving this learning competency:
Describe changes in the properties of materials when exposed to certain
condition such as temperature or when mixed with other materials (S4MT-lg-
h-6)
After going through this module, you are expected to:
1. describe what happens to materials when heated or cooled;
2. describe what happens to solid materials when mixed with other solid
materials;
3. describe what happens to solid materials when mixed with liquid materials;
and
4. describe what happens when two liquid materials are mixed.

Choose the letter of the best answer. Write the chosen letter on a separate sheet of
paper.

 Modul
e Changes in Properties of
3 Materials
This module focuses on the study of different processes such as mixing, heating
and cooling that can change materials and their properties. After learning more
about these processes, students will develop ideas on how these materials can be
useful as the new properties may be better suited for particular purposes.
The main objective of this unit is to engage students in simple activities to explore a
useful way to start thinking about matter as different materials, or substances,
that it can be made into.
Here are some key questions for you to ponder after finishing this module:
1. What happens to materials when heated or cooled?
2. What happens to solid materials when mixed with other solid materials?
3. What happens to solid materials when mixed with liquid materials ?
4. What happens when two liquid materials are mixed?

What’s In

Let’s recall your understanding of concepts in the state of matter using the
situation depicted in the picture below:

When ice cubes are frozen, they are

solids, but can easily melt into liquids if
left outside of the freezer. Likewise, if that
ice cube is in a cup that stands on the
counter for a number of days or weeks,
you will notice that the water evaporates
because it turned into a gas that entered
the air!  https://www.vecteezy.com/vector-art/359314-diagram-showing-how-water-changes-forms

What’s NewIn the succeeding activities, you will do inquiry-based study to help you
define and recognize changes that materials undergo when exposed to certain
conditions. Meanwhile, let’s read the comics strip below to provide us information
about the properties of some materials that surrounds us.
Like other materials, solids have different properties
such as size, shape, color, texture and others. The
atoms in a solid are closely packed together and contain
the least amount of kinetic energy. It could also undergo
changes when exposed to certain condition such as
temperature or when mixed with other materials.

On the next activity, we

will try to describe
changes in the properties
of material when exposed
to certain condition such
as temperature or when
mixed with other
materials.

What is it?

Solid materials change in size, shape, and texture when

heated or cooled. They change in form from solid
materials to liquid when exposed to high temperature,
when cooled they change into solid.

Adding or removing heat causes change in the state of

matter. Solid changes into liquid through
melting. Liquid changes to solid through
freezing. It also changed its size, shape
and texture.

 What happens to solid materials when mixed
with other solid materials?

When two or more materials are combined, a mixture is formed. Solid

materials can be mixed/combined with other solid materials. Mixed materials can
be classified depending on the appearance of the resulting mixture.
When the solid material is mixed with other solid material and each of the
combined/ mixed materials can be easily identified from one another. Such mixture
is called heterogeneous mixture. If the resulting mixture cannot be distinguished
from each other and the same throughout, such mixture is called homogeneous
mixture.

What happens to solid materials when mixed with liquid

materials?

Solid materials can be

mixed/combined with liquid materials. Some
solid materials completely dissolved in the
liquid materials, but others do not. Some
settled at the bottom of the container, while
others stayed within the liquid. Some solid
materials spread out evenly in the liquid
materials, but some do not. When mixed
with the liquid, some solid materials
changed their size, shape, and color, but
some do not.
The particle model can provide a simple
representation of dissolving in terms of mixing to
show what happens when a solid dissolve. This
figure shows mixing a solid and a liquid

What happens when two liquid materials are

mixed?

Liquid materials can be mixed with other liquid materials. While some
liquids completely mix with the other liquids, some do not. Two liquids that
do not mix form two layers like what you see with oil and water.

What I Have
Learned
1. Adding or removing heat causes change in the state of matter. Solid
changes into liquid through melting. Liquid changes to solid through
freezing. It also changed its size, shape and texture.
2. When two or more materials are combined, a mixture is formed.
3. When the solid material is mixed with other solid material and
each of the combined/ mixed materials can be easily identified
from one another. Such mixture is called heterogeneous
mixture. If the resulting mixture cannot be distinguished from
each other and the same throughout, such mixture is called
homogeneous mixture.
4. Some solid materials completely dissolved in the liquid
materials, but others do not. Some settled at the bottom of the
container, while others stayed within the liquid. Some solid
materials spread out evenly in the liquid materials, but some do
not. When mixed with the liquid, some solid materials changed
their size, shape, and color, but some do not.
5. Some liquids completely mix with the other liquids, some do
not. Two liquids that do not mix form two layers like what you
see with oil and water.
