SEMI-DETAILED LESSON PLAN IN SCIENCE V
I. OBJECTIVES
At the end of the lesson, learners should be able to:

b. Discuss the difference between physical change and chemical change;
c. Give an examples of chemical and physical change
II. SUBJECT MATTERS

B. MATERIALS:
Laptop, projector, paper, match, disposable cup, disposable spoon, water, salt,
vinegar, baking soda

D. SCIENCE CONCEPTS:
Physical Change-is a change in shape, size, or state of matter in substance. No new
substance is formed, and the change can often be undone.
Chemical Change- a change in which one substance reacts with another to change its
chemical composition resulting in the formation of new substances. These changes
are permanent and usually cannot be undone.
E. PROCESS SKILLS:
Defining, Differentiating, Appreciating, Observing, Comparing, Discussing,
Collaborating and Integrating
F. VALUE INTEGRATION:
cooperation, and collaboration during the teaching-learning process
To appreciate the importance of change.
G. TEACHING STRATEGIES:
Discussion, Demonstration and Cooperative Learning
III. DEVELOPMENTAL TASK
A. Preliminary Activities
Prayer
Greetings
Settling Down and setting of standards
Checking of attendance
B. Review
Review previous lesson.
C. Motivation
Showing and identifying the objects (show objects and let the pupils to
identify)
Ask two pupils to volunteer to do the activity.
Volunteer number 1 will tear the paper into four small pieces, and volunteer
number 2 will burn the paper.
Let the remaining pupils observe as the two pupils perform the activity.
D. Lesson Proper
Let the pupils think of the new lesson based on the activities.
Ask the pupils what they have observed.
Is there any change in the property of the paper? (No, as the
paper is still a paper, only the size is changed.)
Is any new substance formed? (No)
Is there any change in the property of the paper? (Yes, it is now
ashes.)
Is any new substance formed? (Yes)
Ask the pupils if they have any ideas about the lesson and ask them to share
their ideas.
Video Presentation
What is a Physical Change?
Physical Change-is a change in shape, size, or state of matter in a substance.
No new substance is formed, and the change can often be undone.
Example: chopping of wood, folding paper, breaking glass
What is Chemical change?
Chemical Change- a change in which one substance reacts with another to
change its chemical composition resulting in the formation of new substances.
These changes are permanent and usually cannot be undone.
Example: rusting nails, rotten fruits, digestion
Present a picture of a melting ice.
What change is taking place in the example?
How can you say that this example undergoes a physical change?
Present a picture of burning wood.
What change is taking place in the example?
How can you say that this example undergoes a chemical change?
Let the pupils explain and compare the two changes of matter.
E. Activity Proper
Read the safety precautions.
1. Always listen to the teacher.
2. Follow instructions carefully.
3. Avoid skin and eye contact with all chemicals.
4. Keep yourself and others safe.
5. Wash your hands afterward
Divide the class into five groups. Let every group select its leader. The leader
will be the one to report the findings based on the group observation.
Provide the group with the activity kit and activity sheet to write down their
observation.
Activity # 1 Salt and Water Experiment
Give each group an activity kit labeled Activity#1 Salt and Water
Experiment.
Materials needed:
One tablespoon of salt
one cup of water
spoon
disposable cup.
Instructions: Put one tablespoon of salt into the disposable cup, add
one cup of water, and stir. Wait for 15 seconds and observe what will
happen. Write down your observation in the activity sheet.
Activity # 2 Baking soda and Vinegar Experiment
Give each group an activity kit labeled as Activity#2 Baking soda and
Vinegar Experiment
Materials needed:
one tablespoon of baking soda
1/2 cup of vinegar
spoon
disposable cup.
Instructions: Put 1/2 cup of vinegar into the disposable cup, then add
one tablespoon of baking soda. Observe what will happen. Write
down your observation in the activity sheet.
F. Post Activity
Each group leader will present their observation about the activities and
explain them in class.
Asks them the following questions:
Activity #1 Salt and Water Experiment
What happened when the water is added to the salt?
(Expected response: Salt dissolved in water.)
Did a chemical or physical change happen?
(Expected response: A physical change has occurred as salt and water can be
separated by evaporation.)
Activity #2 Baking soda and Vinegar Experiment
What happened when one tablespoon of baking soda was added to ½ cup
of vinegar?
(Expected response: Bubbles started rising in the cup. Tell the pupils that this
is carbon dioxide gas).
Did a chemical or physical change happen?
(Expected response: A chemical change occurs because a new substance is
formed.)
IV. GENERALIZATION
What is a physical change?
What is a chemical change?
Who can discuss the difference between a physical change and a chemical
change?
Who can give other examples of physical and chemical changes that are
happening in the community?
V. EVALUATION
Assess pupils learning by asking them to answer the following assessments.
A. Answer the following questions.
1. What is a physical change?
2. Give at least 3 examples of physical change.
3. What is a chemical change?
4. Give at least 3 examples of chemical change.
5. What is the difference between physical and chemical change?
B. Identification: Identify the following example. Write A for Physical Change
and Write B for Chemical Change.
1. cutting of paper
2. a melting ice cube
3. burning fire
4. boiling water
5. digestion
6. rotten fruits
7. exploding fireworks
8. chopping of wood
9. breaking of glass
10. shredding paper
VI. ASSIGNMENT
Find three examples of chemical and physical changes in everyday life. Explain
why each of these changes is either chemical or physical.
