What I Need to Know
Hi kids! It’s time to unlock a new chapter of adventure as we learn science. Are
you excited? I’m sure you are. In this chapter we will continue learning the world of
MATTER. We know for a fact that everything around us is made up of matter, right?
Can you still remember the three states of matter? That’s right! We have solid, liquid
and gas. Like other materials, solids have different characteristics/properties such as
size, shape, color, odor, texture, and others. The solid materials could also undergo
changes when exposed to certain conditions such as force, pressure, temperature or
when mixed with other materials. Are you ready to find out how to change solid and
what are the changes that takes place? Sit back, relax and let our adventure begins.
What I Know
Are you excited to unlock the first level of our adventure? I’m sure you are. In
order to do so, you are going to take the pre-test before proceeding to the lessons.
Be sure to read the questions carefully and answer with all honesty. Good Luck!

Lesson
Matter is all around us. But it doesn’t always stay the same. It can change in
many different ways. In this module, we are going to take a closer look at the
changes that occur in solid materials.
What’s In
In your previous lesson, you were able to classify materials based on their
different abilities. Before we move on to our next lesson, let us recall what are those
abilities? Try to arrange the scrambled letters to reveal the word. After forming the new
word, find the letter below that gives its meaning and write it on the right side portion.
“ ARRANGE TO REVEAL”
Good Job!
7
I am very sure that you really enjoyed discovering new concepts while doing
your previous activities about matter and its phases or forms.
Don’t you know that the three phases of matter possess different characteristics
such as size, shape, color, texture, and weight? These all describes its physical
properties and all of these may undergo change.
Things around us are always undergoing change. Have you asked yourself why
does everything change? In this lesson, we will understand how things change.
What’s New
I’m sure you are excited to learn more. We are on our way in unlocking the
second level of our adventure. Are you ready for our first activity? But before that, let
me ask you this?
Can you identify what state of matter is this? You’re right! It is an example of solid.

Do you think we can do something to change the characteristics/properties of this
paper? What can we do?
For today’s lesson, you will think of some ways by which you could change the solid
materials, and then observe the changes that happened to each material.

SOME WAYS OF
CHANGING SOLID
18
There are many kinds of materials found on Earth. These materials provide
us countless useful ways but all these materials undergo certain changes and
one of the changes is Physical Change. Physical change is one of the changes
that matter undergoes. It is a change in size, shape or state without changing
their composition or no new material is formed.
As you can see, the molecules of solid are very close to each other
compared to gas and liquid. That is the reason why solids are hard and why
we can hold them. It has definite size, shape, color, texture & etc. but it can
be change in so many ways like: cutting, tearing, bending, twisting, pressing,
crumpling, hammering, melting & others. Although the size, shape, texture
and other physical characteristics/properties change, still there is no new
material formed because it only undergoes Physical Change.
