Very good. We call all those things as matter.
Everybody say matter.
Matter.

When we say matter It is anything that

occupies space and has weight/mass. (Repeat
after me)
Matter it is anything that occupies space
and has weight/mass.
All the things around us is a matter. Even the
air that we inhale and exhale is also a matter.
What do we call the things around us?
Matter
Children, there are three phases of matter.
These are solid, liquid and gas.
The first one is solid. Solids have definite
shapes that occupy definite spaces. Solids can
be held and seen. (Teacher holding the wallet
presented a while ago.) Please come in front
and touch the wallet. Describe what you feel.
It is smooth teacher.
What is its shape?
Rectangle teacher.
Very good Steven. Now, can you please get a
solid object inside your bag? Come here in
front and show it to your classmates.

Children. Let us give him/her a clap.
So, solids have definite shape. It can be held
and seen. Such as
Pupils will repeat the meaning of solid.
Now, the second phase of matter is Liquid.
Ask a pupil to show his/her water jug to the
class.
The pupil will tell his/her classmates what the
jug contains.
I have here an empty glass. Will you fill the
glass with the liquid from the jug? (Ask the
pupils to describe the shapes of water being
poured.) What happened to the water inside
glass? Does it take the shape of the glass?

Yes.
It only shows that liquid takes the shape of
the container.
Pupils will repeat the meaning of liquid.
(Teacher holding the bottled water and
balloon) From these two remaining objects,
which do you think is liquid?
The bottled water teacher.
Show the last remaining object.) What am I
holding?
Balloon.
What is inside the balloon?
There is an air inside the balloon.
Very good. This inflated balloon is filled with
air and air is an example of a gas.
Can you see the air?
No.
Air cannot be seen because it is colorless. But
it can be felt. Air is a matter in a gas/gaseous
state.
There are also gases that can be seen such
smoke and clouds. (Pictures of smoke and
clouds to be presented.)
(The teacher will ask a pupil to deflate a
balloon and feel the air coming out from it.)
Does the shape of the balloon changed?
Yes teacher.
So, Gas takes the shape of its container;
therefore, it does not have a definite shape.
Pupils will repeat the meaning of Gas.
Let us have more examples so that you can
really differentiate and identify the states of
matter. You are going to have a group
activity.
(The teacher will explain the group activity.)
SOLID

LIQUID GAS

The pupils will arrange the pictures and place

it under its proper column: solid, liquid or
gas.
D. Application
Teachers Activity
Let us have another exercise.
Connect column A with column B

Pupils Activity

SOLID

LIQUID

GAS

Great! What about the state of matter that

takes the shape of their container and can also
