Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity
A. Preliminary Activities
a. Prayer
Okay, everyone please stand up. I will lead

c. Checking of Attendance

None, Ma’am.
d. Recalling of previous lesson
So, what was our lesson last time?
It was all about the properties of matter.
And what are those?
Solid, Liquid, Gas!
Okay, very good!
Can anyone give me an example of a solid
object? Yes, Rhea Mae?
That table is a solid object.
And it is solid because?
It has shape and volume.
Very good!
How about water? Is it solid, liquid, or gas?
Liquid!
And why?
Because it only has volume and no shape.
Excellent!
How about gas? What is gas?
Gas has no shape and no volume.
Great job, grade three!
Now, I have here a song. The title is “The
Matter Song”.
e. Motivation
Alright pupils, do you know the song, “If
you’re happy and you know it, clap your
hands.”
Yes, Ma’am.
Okay, that is the tune of our song for today.
Let’s sing together, shall we?
The Matter Song
(In the tune of “if you’re happy and you know
it, clap your hands”).
Oh, a solid keeps its size and its shape
Yes! Yes!
And a liquid keeps its size, not its shape
Yes! No!
But the one that’s not the same,
Has three letters in its name
Gas does not keep its size, nor its shape
No! No!
Okay, everybody sit down. So what was our
song all about?
Solid, Liquid, Gas.
Very good.
Now, before we proceed to our main lesson,
we are going to have a short activity. I will
group the class into two groups. Row 1 will
be the group 1 and Row 2 will be the group
2.
B. Activity
I have here two bond papers and each
group will look for what is given in each
number.
Rubrics:
Accuracy – 6 points
Cleanliness – 4 points
Timeliness – 5 points
Cooperation – 5 points
Total Score – 20 points
(The teacher must provide further
instructions). Grade three, do you
understand?
Yes, Ma’am.
Okay, I will give you 5 minutes to do your
activity. You may start.
(The pupils will do their activity).
C. Analysis
Alright, time is up. Let us check your
activities. Group 1 will go first.
What is your number 1?
Something rough.
What is your something rough?
Very good! Rock.
2 points. Next, something long.
Correct! Pencil.
Another 2 points. Next, something square.
Excellent! Box.
Please give me your answer sheet so I can
grade your total score. Okay, Group 2, what
is your number 1?
What did you put in your number 1? Something soft.
Very good! Cotton balls.
2 points. Next is number 2, something short.
Correct! Eraser.
2 points. What is your number 3?
What is your something rectangle? Something rectangle.
Brilliant! Table.
2 points for that. Now, please give me your
answer sheets.
So, class, what have you observed in each (The pupils will do as told).
items?
Are all of them the same? Yes, Mia? Solid objects, Ma’am.
No, Ma’am. There is something long and
Yes, correct. something short.
Anyone else? Yes, Noemme?
Very good. There is square and rectangle.
Now, class, those are characteristics of solid
objects.
D. Abstraction
Solid objects have a few key characteristics
that make them different from liquids or
gases.
Shape: Solids keep their shape. Like a toy
block or a book, it doesn't change shape
unless you change it.
Volume: Solids stay the same size. A teddy
bear doesn't get bigger or smaller on its
own.
Hardness: Solids are usually hard. You can't
put your hand through a table because it's
solid.
Can't be squished: You can't make a solid
object smaller by pushing on it. It's like
trying to squish a rock - it just doesn't work!
Texture: Solids can feel different when you
touch them. This is their texture. A smooth
glass and a rough sandpaper are both
solids, but they feel very different, right?
Weight: Solids have weight. When you pick
up a solid object, you can feel how heavy it
is. A feather is much lighter than a brick,
even though they're both solids.
Length: Solids have length, width, and
height. These are measurements that tell
you how big the solid is. A pencil is longer
than it is wide or tall, for example.
E. Application
Okay class, let’s have another activity. I
have here six paper bags with solid objects
inside. I will choose pupils to go here in front
and try to guess what is inside the paper
bag. You have to describe what shape,
texture, whether it is long or short and if it is
Yes, Ma’am.
light or heavy. Understood?
(The teacher will assist the activity and
check if the pupil’s answer is correct or
wrong).
IV. Evaluation
Describe every solid objects by their characteristics. The first one is done for you.
Example: ballpen – blue, long, smooth

V. Assignment
Look for solid objects around your house and list it down. Make sure to describe
what they look like, how they feel, and how they weigh.
