LESSON SCRIPT: CHANGES IN STATES OF MATTER
Most Essential Learning Competency:
Describe changes in materials based on the effect of temperature: solid to
liquid, liquid to solid, liquid to gas, and solid to gas.
Grade Level: 3 Quarter: 1 Week 3-5 Code: S3MT-Ih-j-4
Scene 1:
Teacher:
Hi, everyone! Today, we’re going to talk about something really cool – the
changes in the phases of matter!
Have you ever noticed how ice melts into water, or water turns into steam when
it boils? Let's find out how this happens!
Scene 2: A graphic showing the three states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas.
Matter can exist in three different states: solid, liquid, and gas.
Solid:
When matter is in the solid phase, like ice, it has a fixed shape. The particles are
packed closely together and don’t move around much.
Liquid:
When matter is in the liquid phase, like water, it takes the shape of its container.
The particles are more spread out and move more freely.
Gas:
When matter is in the gas phase, like steam, the particles are far apart and move
very quickly.
Scene 3: An animation of changes of matter from one phase to another.
Now, let’s see how matter changes from one phase to another.
Voice Over: A change in state happened when we heat or cool water.
Teacher: If we take ice, which is a solid, and heat it up, the ice melts and turns
into liquid. This process is called melting. It happens because heat makes the
particles move faster, and they start to break apart. Examples of melting are
melting a wax candle and melting an ice cream.
Scene 4: A video of water boiling and turning into steam.
Teacher:
If we keep heating the water, something even more interesting happens – the
water starts to boil and turns into steam, which is a gas. This is called
evaporation. The heat gives the particles even more energy, and they move so
fast that they escape into the air!
Scene 5: A graphic showing gas being cool down.
Teacher:
But what if we cool down the steam? It will change back into water! This is called
condensation. You might have seen it when water droplets form on the outside of
a cold glass.
And if we cool water even more, it will turn back into ice. This is called freezing.
The particles slow down and stick together to form a solid.
Closing Scene:
Teacher:
That’s it for today’s lesson! Next time you see ice melt or water boil, you’ll know
exactly what’s happening. Thanks for learning with me today and remember –
science is all around you!
See you next time!
