III. Learning Development
Teacher’s Activities Student Activities
A. Recall
Yesterday, you’ve learned about the first state of Gas is a state of matter with
matter which is gas. Class, can anyone define what particles that are very loosely
gas is? What are the properties of gas? packed which makes it move
very fast.
Gas has no definite shape and
volume, diffuse easily, flows,
can be compressed and exerts
pressure.
B. Motivation
Today, we will discuss about liquids. The students will answer by using a
concept map.
Let us start with what you know.
Water

What comes into your mind when you hear the word State of
wet
matter
liquid?

colored Liquid fluid

milk flows

clear

C. Development of the lesson

Based from the words that you have given, can you Liquid is a state of matter
now define what a liquid is? which may be clear or colored
and is characterized by
wetness. Some of its examples
are water and milk.
Now, let us talk about its properties.
For that, we have prepared some materials for a series
of activities that we will be conducting.
For the first activity, we have here some oil, water, and
a bowl.
May I ask for two volunteers in the class to do the (The two volunteers will go in
activity? front.)
What you need to do is to pour the water and oil in
separate bowls slowly.
Guide questions:
What you observe about the flow of water? Oil? The water flow faster than the
oil.

Why do you think the water flowed faster than the oil? It is because the oil is
somewhat syrupy.

Yes, that’s right and that is what we call a liquid’s

viscosity. Viscosity is the resistance to flow. The
stronger the molecular attraction, the more viscous a
liquid is.
Did water take the shape of the container? Yes, Ma’am/Sir.
How about the oil, did it take the shape of the container, Yes, Ma’am/Sir.
too?
As you observed in the activity, liquids can flow out of a
container and can be poured into another while maintaining
their volume. This happens because there are attractions
among the particles of liquid which hold them together
although not in fixed positions. These attractions also make
it possible for liquids to have a definite volume.
Hence, we can say that liquids have the ability to flow and
can have a definite volume.
Is that clear to you class? Yes, teacher.
Now, let’s proceed to our next activity. Again, may I ask a (A selected volunteer will go
volunteer from the class? in front.)
We have here a dye and a glass of water. What you need to
do is to drop a small amount of dye in a glass of water.
What happened to the dye and the water? The color of the dye slowly spread
in water after a few seconds.

Good. The particles of liquid are loosely-packed which

makes the color of the dye spread slowly.
That property of liquid is what you call diffusion. The
particle of liquids move around each other.

For the third activity, we have a glass of water and a razor

blade. All we need to do is to place the razor blade on the
surface of the water carefully and observe what will happen.
May I call on ____________ to do the task? (The student will go in front and
perform the activity.)

What did you notice when the razor blade was put in the It floated in the water, ma’am/sir.
water?
Yes, that’s right. That is because of surface tension. The
molecules in the interior of a liquid are attracted by their
neighbors on all sides. On the other hand, have only
neighbors below and at the sides. As a result, the surface
molecules experience a net attraction downward and are
pulled toward the interior. Thus, a liquid tends to minimize
the number of molecules at the surface which results as
surface tension. Surface tension is a phenomenon in which
the surface of a liquid, when the liquid is in contact with
gas, acts like an elastic sheet covering the interior.
Do you have any question class? None, Ma’am/Sir.
Ok then, let’s now proceed to our next activity. I need two (The boys will go in front and
boys to do the activity. Let us have some boys at the back. perform the task.)
In this activity, one of the student will place a thin straw in
a juice drink.
Meanwhile, the other student will submerged the tip of a
paper in water.
Guide question:
What happened to the water when the straw was placed in The water moved up the straw
the glass? When the tip of the paper was submerged? even without doing something.
The water slowly went up the
paper and turned it wet.

That property of water is what we call capillary action or

capillarity. Capillarity is the movement of water up the
tubes called capillary tubes. That was presented in the straw
in a glass of water activity. In nature ad everyday life, this
thin tubes are not always obvious which is in the case of the
paper submerged in water.
For the last activity, may I ask a volunteer from the class? (A selected volunteer will go
in front.)
Get a glass and pour some alcohol in it. Observe what will
happen after some time.
Meanwhile, put some alcohol in the palms of your hand.
Guide questions:
What happened to the volume of the alcohol in the It disappeared.
container? In your palm?
What did you feel as the alcohol slowly disappears from I feel cooled.
your hand?
Where do you think might be the alcohol go when it Ma’am/Sir, I think it went to
disappeared? the air.
Why did you say so? Ma’am/Sir, I think it undergo
through a process called
evaporation.
You got it right!
The reason behind the disappearance of the alcohol as well
as the cooling of the palms is evaporation or we can call it
vaporization.
Now, can you define what evaporation is? Evaporation is the process by
which liquid goes to the air
That’s right.
and is transformed into a gas.
Evaporation or vaporization is the transformation of a liquid
into a gas. If vaporization takes place in an open container,
as in the alcohol in the cap, the molecules diffuse away from
the surface of the liquid and evaporate.
Since molecules with most energy (fast moving) escape and
molecules with less energy are left behind, the remaining,
liquid becomes slightly cooler than the surroundings. That
is why evaporation has a cooling effect.
Did you get it class? Clearly, Ma’am/Sir.

D. Generalization
(Done through a class recitation.)

What is liquid? Liquid is a state of matter

which may be clear or colored
and is characterized by
wetness.

What are the properties of liquid?
The properties of liquid are ability
to flow, has a definite volume,
surface tension, diffusion, capillary
action, and evaporation or
vaporization.

What is diffusion? Diffusion is a property of liquid I

which particles of water move
around each other.
What is surface tension? Surface tension is a phenomenon
in which the surface of a liquid,
when the liquid is in contact with
gas, acts like an elastic sheet
covering the interior.

What is evaporation? Evaporation or vaporization is

the transformation of a liquid
into a gas. It happens when the
particle of the liquids escaped
into the air.

Very good class! I think you’re now ready to take a

short quiz. Keep your things away from your desk. Only
ball pens and the test papers are on your desk.

(The teacher will distribute the test papers.)
