Good morning Class! Good morning Teacher!
Rica, how are you doing today? I’m doing great Teacher.
It’s good to hear Rica.
I hope you’re doing good, you’re doing safe
and most importantly feeling healthy.
Once again, I would like to welcome you here
in our fun learning session in science class.
A.2 Singing the Philippine National
Anthem
Okay Class before we start let us sing the
Philippine National Anthem. Please stand (The students will sing)
straight. Put your right hand in your left chest
and let us sing.
(The teacher will Play the Philippine National
Anthem
Okay Class be seated.
A.3. Prayer
Ana Marie, please lead us in our prayer for
today. The students will lead the prayer
(The teacher will play the video for prayer)

your turn to speech
3. Raise your hand if you want to say
something
4. Stay seated
5. Don’t do other task while the class is

Is that clear, give me a thumbs up! the classroom rules.
Okay, Very Good!
A. ELICIT
Teacher’s Activity Students’ Activity
In Grade 6 you have performed activities like
science experiments. For example, you add sugar
to water and when you observed the mixture
appears uniform in appearance.
What do you think is the role of experiments in To give answer in a problem or to provide evidence.
scientific inquiry?
That’s right!
Experimenting help, us to understand things and
the world around us.
B. ENGAGE
Teacher ‘s Activity Students’ Activity
Before we proceed to our topic for today, Let’s
have a short game entitled “A mystery Sound”.
I have here a box, inside the box is a mystery
object. I will make a sound using the materials
inside the box and guest what it is? Is it clear
class? Give me a thumbs up if it is clear.
The students will try to guest the object inside the box
Objects may include inside the box
1. Rock
2. Spoon
3. Scrupled paper
Very Good, Class.
When I was a child I have so many questions like
why is the sky blue? How does plant grow?
How about you class, do you have any questions
in life that that you didn’t know the answers yet.
Nathan, do you have a question in mind that you Is man coming from monkey.
want to share?
Very Good question.
Another question, class. Why fireflies emit light?
That’s a good question.
C. Explore
Teacher’s activity Students’ activity
Class I’m going to divide you into two groups.
For every group please assign your own leader,
secretary, time-keeper, presenter, and material
manager.
Please bring out the materials needed in our
activity.
Are all materials needed in our activity is
complete? Yes Sir!
So, are you already in your respective groups?
Now class we will proceed to our activity.
The teacher will distribute the activity sheets.
What is the title of activity number 3?
Very Good!
The title of the activity number 3 is “Are the particles

The objectives of our activity are: (1) infer from

Now, together with your group you will create the (The student will read the procedures written on the

Correct scientific term for every needed
Observation.)
Example:
Particles
Compressibility
Fluidity
There is little difference between the
How do you compare the compressiblity of solid, compressibility of solids and liquids,
liquid and gas? but gases are easily compressed
Very good!
Liquids can take the shape of the
Can liquid take the shape of its container? containing vessel.
Very Good! No. Solids have their own shape.
How about solid, can liquids take the shape of the
container?
Excellent!
In your activity, what do you notice when you When the glass is under the water it
pushed the inverted glass down the water? remains ‘empty’ as the trapped air
keeps the water out.
Excellent! Its show that the air is a substance.
To give you a visualization of the particles of The students will watch the animation.

E. Elaborate
Teacher’s activity Students’ activity
To further understand what is between the
particles of matter, let us have a demonstration. I
have here 50 ml hot water and 10 ml sugar. I will
call someone to add the sugar to water.
When we add 50 ml water and 10 ml sugar the final
What did you expect the final voluime to be? volume is 60 ml.
Good Idea!
The students will add the sugar.
Who wants to add the sugar into the hot water?
Be careful while adding the sugar in how water.
Sir it is less than 50 ml.
Please observe the container. What is the final
volume?
Very Good! The final volume should be 60 ml,
but is in fact less than this.
The spaces in particles of water filled up with the
What explanations could there be for the actual particles of sugar.
result?
Excellent! This activity gives you a hint that there
are some gaps or spaces between the particles of
water.
The three states of matter are solid liquid and gas.
There are three states of matter and what are
those?
Because the particles are closed together.
Why can’t you compressed the particles of solid?
Very good! Cannot be compresses because the
particles in solid are very close together without
any gaps. Its held by strong forces.
Solid has a definite shape and volume.
Because the particles in liquid are close together but
Why liquids can be poured and can flow without there are some spaces between them.
changing its volume?
Excellent! The particles in liquid are close
together, but may have some gaps because the
particles held together by weak forces.
A liquid has a definite volume, but its shape can
change. It can be poured and can flow, but
cannot be compressed.
The particles are very far apart and have large
spaces between them because the particles are
held together by quite strong force.
.
A gas has no definite shape or volume. It will fill
the space available. It can flow and it can be
compressed.
F. Evaluation
