A Semi-detailed Lesson Plan in Science 8
Properties of the Three States of Matter
I. Objectives:
explain the properties of solids, liquids and gases based from the particle nature of
matter (S8MT-IIIa-b-8);
classify materials as solids, liquids and gases; and
explain the four basic aspects of the particle nature of matter.
II. Subject Matter:
Task 2: Discussion
The teacher will show a video presentation to the students and will ask questions afterwards.
Based on the activity What’s Inside the House the students will give examples of solid,
liquid and gas.
The teacher will discuss the properties of solid, liquid and gas.
The teacher will explain the basic aspects of the particles of matter.
Generalization
Activity: Complete My Parts
Direction: Complete the table by providing the properties of matter.
Application.
Activity: Who Knows’ the Most?
Direction: The students will identify if the given statement is right or wrong.
1. When the body breaks down food, carbon dioxide is produced as a waste product.
Carbon dioxide is in the liquid state of matter.
2. The particles of gases have the highest kinetic energy.
3. Gases are easier to compress than solids.
4. The particles of a solid are packed closely together and cannot move around, but they
can vibrate.
5. Matter is anything that has no density.
C. Values Integration
It is important for you to know the properties of matter because all things are made up
of matter. Each type of matter has different physical characteristics, and you need to know and
understand these characteristics to make calculations.
The main physical characteristics of matter are mass, volume, weight, density, odor, and
color. These are the characteristics that help us to see
matter, feel matter, and taste matter.
III. Evaluation
I. Direction: For each item, write the letter of the correct answer.

2. Three states of matter exist – solid, liquid, and gas. Which of the following are the
common properties of liquid?
A. It has no definite shape or volume.
B. It has definite shape and no definite volume.
