I. Objectives
A. Content Standard
Demonstrate understanding of the particle nature of matter as basis for explaining
properties, physical changes, and structure of substances and mixtures.

B. Learning Competencies and Objectives

Explains the properties of solids, liquids and gases based on the particle nature of
matter (S8MT-IIIa-b-8)

At the end of the lesson, students should be able to:

b. differentiate the characteristics of particles in the three phases of matter;
c. draw the particle models of the three phases of matter.
II. Content
Chemistry – Movement of Particles of Matter

Gas

F. Evaluation
Let the students draw the particle model of the phases of matter.
G. Extend
