Make a detailed 7E's lesson plan (elicit, engage, explore, explain, elaborate, evaluate, extend) for grade
8 students topic phase change. Given the Objectives: at the end of the lesson students should be able
to: enumerate the different physical/phase changes in matter; explain the physical changes of matter in
terms of the arrangement of atoms and molecules; and appreciate the practical application of the
different changes .
Matter undergoes phase changes. The phase change is a change from one
state to another without changing the chemical composition of a substance. There
are six phase changes that matter can undergo.
Figure 6. Phase changes
Melting is the change of matter from solid state to a liquid state. When liquid
state changes back to a solid state, this phase change is called freezing/
solidification. Evaporation is changing matter from the liquid state to gas state, while
condensation is the change from the gaseous state to liquid state. When solid state
directly changes to gas without passing the liquid state, it is called sublimation. In
addition, deposition is the change from a gaseous state directly to solid state.
Increasing the temperature will result in the increase of kinetic energy
(motion) of particles and this will affect the current arrangement of the particles in
solid, liquid and gas. As the temperature and the kinetic energy are both increase,
the tiny particles move, resulting to a farther distance between the particles.
Decreasing the temperature will result in the decrease of kinetic energy
(motion) of particles, leading to a closer distance between the particles. The lower
the temperature and the kinetic energy, the closer the particles are together.

Grade 8 Science Lesson Plan: Phase Changes
Objective:
At the end of the lesson, students should be able to:
Enumerate the different physical/phase changes in matter.
Explain the physical changes of matter in terms of the arrangement of atoms and molecules.
Appreciate the practical application of the different changes.
Materials Needed:
Whiteboard or chart paper
Markers
Visual aids (diagrams or illustrations of phase changes)
Examples of phase changes in everyday life (e.g., boiling water, melting ice)
Duration:
60 minutes
Engage (10 minutes):
Begin by asking students if they have ever noticed changes in the state of matter around them, such as
water turning into ice or steam.
Show visual aids or provide examples of different phase changes in everyday life.
Encourage students to share their observations and experiences with phase changes.
Elicit (10 minutes):
Introduce the concept of phase changes, explaining that they are changes from one state of matter to
another without changing the chemical composition.
Display Figure 6 depicting the six phase changes (melting, freezing, evaporation, condensation,
sublimation, deposition).
Ask students to name each phase change and briefly describe what happens during each one.
Explore (15 minutes):
Divide the class into small groups and provide each group with a set of scenario cards describing
different phase changes.
Instruct students to read the scenarios and identify which phase change is occurring in each one.
Circulate the room to observe and assist students as needed.
Explain (10 minutes):
Lead a class discussion to review the scenarios and confirm the correct identification of phase changes.
Explain how changes in temperature affect the arrangement of atoms and molecules in different states
of matter.
Emphasize that increasing temperature increases the kinetic energy of particles, causing them to move
farther apart, while decreasing temperature has the opposite effect.
Elaborate (10 minutes):
Provide examples of practical applications of phase changes, such as how evaporation is used in cooling
systems or how freezing is used in food preservation.
Ask students to brainstorm other real-world situations where phase changes are important.
Facilitate a discussion on the significance of understanding phase changes in various industries and
everyday life.
Evaluate (5 minutes):
Distribute a short quiz or worksheet to assess students' understanding of phase changes and their
applications.
Review the answers as a class, addressing any misconceptions or questions that arise.
Extend (5 minutes):
Assign a homework task for students to research and present on a specific phase change and its practical
applications.
Encourage students to continue observing phase changes in their surroundings and to discuss their
findings in the next class.
Conclusion:
By engaging in this lesson, students have gained a deeper understanding of phase changes, their
significance in various contexts, and their practical applications in everyday life.
