III.   METHODOLOGY / PROCEDURE

   
Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity
3.1.   Daily Activities  
A. Elicit
3.1.1. Greetings & Prayer

“Good morning, class.” “Good Morning, Ma’am!”

“Let us pray first. Lead us in prayer
(Calls student) …”
(One student will lead the prayer)
“Lord, help us in our work today give us
concentration so that may we listen,
understand, learn and have a peaceful mind and
may we always remember that Jesus Christ is

1
 always with us.

Amen...”

3.1.2.   Checking of Attendance

“Who are absent today?” “None, Ma’am”

“I am glad to say that no one is

absent today.”

3.1.3.   Checking of Assignment

“Ok class, who has no assignment, (No one raises their hands)
please raise your hand.”

“I am happy to hear that all of you

has made your assignments. Now pass your
papers to the front on the count of 10.”

“1, 2, … 10. All papers in?” “Yes Ma’am.”

“Very good.”

3.2.   Preparatory Activities

B. Engage

3.2.1.   Review the definition of matter

“What is matter?”
“Matter is anything that has mass and occupies
(Calls students) space.”

“Brilliant!”

3.2.2.   Motivation:
C. Explore
(Point out the different and similar
characteristics shared by the students of the
class.)

(Everyone in the class is a student of

the same school; all are in first year, etc.
Unique characteristics may vary from talents,
habits, hobbies, etc.)

“Can we say that matter, like us, has “We thinks so Ma’am”
properties which may be different or same with
another?”
2
“We’ll try to see about that.”

3.3.   Lesson Proper

D. Explain
3.3.1 Introduction

“A single matter has its unique set of

properties. Just as people are distinguished by
their physical attributes and traits, matter is
distinguished by its properties. Today, we’ll be
discussing about properties that are present in
all kinds of matter.”

3.3.2.   Presentation of the lesson  (The students will listen attentively and raise
their hands if there’s a question.)
General properties – are the
properties that are common to all types of
matter.

Mass - is the amount of matter

present in a body, object or substance. It is a
property that will not change under all
conditions.

Weight - is the measure of the

gravitational force acting on a body or an
object. The value of gravity of any object on
the earth’s surface is constant; 1 kg of mass
weighs 9.8 newtons.
“A person with more mass has more gravity,
therefore, weighs more.”

Volume - is the amount of space

that an object or body occupies. Solids occupy
a definite space, while liquids and gases take
the space of their containers.

Volume of regular solids can measured using

the formula V = l x w x h. Volume of irregular
solids are determined using the water
displacement method (to be demonstrated
later).

Density - is the ratio of an object’s

mass to its volume. Density is measured using
the formula D = M/V and is expressed in g/cm3
or kg/m3.

 3.3.3 Comparison and Abstraction
E. Elaborate
“When you go to a higher surface, or “Yes.”
on another planet, will your weight change?”

“If your mass here on earth is 50 kg, “No.”

will your mass change if you go to the moon?

“Differentiate mass and weight.” “Mass is the amount of matter present in a

body while weight is a force that results from
the gravitational pull to an object. Mass does
not change under all conditions, weight varies
with location and strength of gravity on an
object.”

“Can mass and weight be “Weight and mass can be used interchangeably
interchanged?” as long as we are on the earth’s surface. “

“What’s the difference between mass “Mass is the amount of matter in an object
and volume?” while volume is the amount of space that an
object occupies.”

“How does density relate to an “Density is obtained by dividing the mass to its
object’s mass and volume?” volume.”

3.3.4.   Application
F. Evaluate
Volume of a regular solid (The students will follow the procedures while
1. Measure the length, width, and observing results and answering questions.)
thickness of a book using a ruler.
2. Multiply the three measurements taken
to get the volume of the book.

Volume of an irregular solid

1. Pour water into the beaker up to the
middle. Note the reading.
2. Drop the stone in the water. Note the
reading again.
3. Compare the two readings taken. The
increase indicates the volume of the
stone.

“What do you call the method used to measure

the volume of irregular solids?”
“Water displacement method.”
Mass and Weight
Using a platform balance, compare the weights
of different things that can be found inside the
classroom.

“How do we measure the mass of an object?”
“A scale measures how much gravity a mass
Density has. A matter with more mass has more

water. Take note of the part submerged
in the water.
2. Put another wood with a different mass.
Compare the submerged parts.

“What property of matter was demonstrated?”

“Density.”

“What is the ratio of an object’s mass to “Density.”

its volume?”

“These measurements of the general (Students’ answers may vary.)

properties of matter are important in everyday
living. Many fields of expertise that have daily
applications require accurate measurements.
The concept of density is important to the
production of aircrafts, ships, etc. How do
these properties affect your daily life?”
