Key Concepts
From the idea that matter is made up of particles you were creating your own mental picture
and constructing models, which are diagrams that represents of what is happening at a level beyond
what your eyes can see. This is what we call the sub-microscopic model of representing an idea
and concept which you cannot observe with your senses or even aided by a simple microscope.

PHYSICAL CHANGES IN MATTER
1. Boiling - uses heat to change liquid to gas. This occurs when the liquid reaches the boiling
point.
2. Condensation – when substance condenses from a gas to liquid state. (ex. The cloud
formation where water vapor in the sky condenses into water droplets)
3. Dissolving – a process of a solid of liquid forming a solution in a solvent. (ex. Pouring sugar
into a hot cup of coffee)
4. Freezing – when a liquid turn into solid state.
5. Liquefaction – a process of converting a gas or solid into a liquid.
6. Melting – resulting the solid to change into a liquid. (ex. Ice left out on the table)
7. Evaporation – changes from liquid state to gas state, but it is still a water; it has not
changed into another substance.
8. Sublimation – conversion of a substance from the solid to gas state without becoming
liquid.
Activity 1: Place Me!
Directions: List down different examples of solid, liquid and gas that you can find around your area
and describe its properties. Use separate sheet of paper.

Activity 2: Perform Me!
Directions: Perform home-based activity given the following procedures and answer the guide
questions below. Use separate sheet of paper.
Materials:
▪ Small piece of ice
▪ Transparent glass
Procedure:
1. Put the small piece of ice on a transparent glass.
2. Observe what happens to the ice after 5 minutes.
3. Draw an illustration to show how the particles of water behave as ice changes to a liquid.
Guide Questions:
1. What changes take place when ice turns into liquid water?
2. Explain what is happening to the particles of water in ice as it turns to liquid using the
particle illustration of matter.
3. Explain what will happen to the liquid on the transparent glass if it is transferred into a small
container and left inside the freezer after a few hours.
Activity 3: Appreciate Me!
Directions: Give five (5) examples of physical changes of matter happen in daily life experiences.
Example: Butter melts on a warm bread
