LP Science g8 q3 Week1 Jan16
To show two pictures to the class (one matter and one non matter).
(Example:nonmatter: picture of light from a torch, heat from the fire, sound from the police siren
(forms of energy);
Matter: picture of any solid, liquid or gaseous substance.
Let the students cite the differences between the two and write them on the board.
There are three words that are important to recall as you begin this lesson: mass, volume,
matter. Mass is
___________________________________________________________________. Volume is
________________________________________________________________. Matter is
_________________________________________________________________.
Write a statement that connects the three words (mass, volume, matter) together. The pictures
above can be categorized as _________. Can we say that all the things surround us are
examples of matter?

Matter
Everything we see or even not seen in the universe is matter. Matter is
anything that occupies space and has mass. Leaves, human hearts, toys, flour,
smoke, and air are examples of matter because they occupy space and have mass.
Light and sound are not examples of matter since they do not occupy space nor have
mass.
Matter is made of tiny particles. These particles are arranged depending on
their states. The arrangement of particles of each state gives matter its own unique
properties. In the pictures below, a solid material, a liquid material, and a gas inside
a balloon can be viewed sub-microscopically as substances composed of tiny
particles.
Students will be divided into groups of 5. With the use of materials found on the module, they
should be able to fill in the table classifying if the sample is matter or not.
(Activity #1: Which is matter, which is not?) pp. 172-173
Q1. What similarities do you observe among the first five given samples? Write these common
characteristics.
Q2. Does each sample have a measurable mass? Prove your answer by demonstrating how
you measure the mass of each sample. Record the mass you got for each sample.
Q3. Do you think that each sample occupies space? Write the reason(s) for your answer.
Q4. How about smoke? Does it have mass? Does it occupy space? Explain your answer.
Q5. Do you think that heat and light have mass? Do they occupy space? Explain your answer.
Based on your observations, you have just described some characteristics of matter. As you
were observing each sample of matter in Activity 1, you were focusing on particular
characteristics. These characteristics that describe a sample of matter are called properties.
Matter can have different properties. You measured the mass of each sample of matter using a
balance or a weighing scale. The mass of an object is a measure of the amount of matter the
object has. You observed that the mass of each sample of matter in Activity 1 is different from
the mass of the other samples. You also found out that each sample of matter occupies space.
The measure of the space occupied by an object is called volume. All matter have mass and
volume. There are other properties of matter such as hardness, texture, color, flexibility,
malleability, and electrical conductivity which vary from one sample to another.
B. Directions: Draw ☺ if the sample occupies space and ◌ if not. Write your answers on
your notebook.
C. Directions: Write √ if the sample is matter and X if not. Write your answers on your
notebook.
