MODULE IN SCIENCE 8
THIRD QUARTER / WEEK 3 /DAY 1

OBJECTIVE:
At the end of this module, you are expected to differentiate physical from chemical change.

LESSON: Physical and Chemical Change

KEY CONCEPTS!
❖ Physical Change is the change in the appearance or state of matter (solid, liquid, and gas) but the kind of
matter in the substance does not. This means that the nature of the substance, the particles that make it up
and the number of particles remain the same. It has no effect on the molecular structure of a substance. It
is a reversible change to recover all the original material, even if it does not resemble exactly the same. In
other words, the molecules prior to and according to the change remain the same.

Read and understand the following examples to gain a more complete understanding of the concept.

Examples:
1. Melted candle (solid to liquid to solid). On heating, candle wax melts and form liquid wax. Since it again turns
into solid wax on cooling, it had a similar appearance to the initial product.
2. Drying of wet clothes. When left hanging outside, the water will evaporate, thus, have not changed the
composition of the clothes and have not turned into something else.
3. Boiling water. When water is heated, the molecules vibrate faster and evaporate, then, they escape into the
atmosphere as water vapor, condenses and goes back to earth in the form of rain.
4. Cutting of piece of paper. The size of the paper changed but the composition is still the same.
5. Bending a silverware. The shape changed but the composition of which the silverware is made off did not
change.

Now, what is the difference of chemical change? This time let’s read and understand how it
differs with physical change. Read the concept below

• Chemical Change is the change in the kind of matter and at least one new substance with new properties
is formed that results from a chemical reaction. It also takes place when the original substance is taken apart
and put back together into new combination of substances which are different from the original combination
of particles and the number of which can change. Moreover, the original material may not be recovered.
Examples:
1. Baking a cake. When you bake, you combine baking powder or baking soda, eggs, flour, sugar, butter and
other ingredients. Each ingredient has its own set of properties. If you mix them together and place it in the
oven, heat helps produce tiny bubbles of gas which make the cake light and fluffy. You cannot separate the
ingredients of the cake after it has been baked.

2. Color change in leaves. Those beautiful colors of fall aren’t happening by chance. Typically, leaves are
green due to chlorophyll used for photosynthesis. However, before trees take their winter nap, chlorophyll in
the leaves breaks down. As the chlorophyll breaks down, the carotene and anthocyanins naturally in leaves
all summer long take center stage creating those beautiful red and yellow colors.

3. Souring Food. Milk goes bad because of fermentation. This is where the lactose is transformed into lactic
acid by bacteria surviving pasteurization.

4. Burning Wood. When wood burns, it becomes ash. The reason wood burns is due to combustion.

5. Rising Bread. The yeast causes the bread to rise. It breaks the starches in the bread dough down into sugars,
and those sugars metabolize into carbon dioxide and ethanol. The carbon dioxide makes the bread rise.

Now that you have learned the difference between a physical and chemical change, can you now
recognize the chemical and physical changes that happen all around us? To check this, try to do the
first activity.

Activity 1: Can you recognize me?

Instructions: Tell whether the situation is physical or chemical change. Write P if it is physical and C if it is
chemical change.

No. P/C Situations

1 An ice cube is placed under the sun. After a while, there is a puddle of water. Later the puddle
is gone.
2 Two chemicals were mixed together and a gas is produced.
3 A bicycle changes color as it rusts.
4 A solid is crushed to a powder.
5 Two substances are mixed and light is produced.
6 A piece of ice melts and reacts with sodium.
7 Mixing salt and pepper.
8 Chocolate syrup is dissolved in milk.
9 A marshmallow is toasted over a campfire.
10 A piece of wood is cut in half.
11 Silver necklace tarnishes in an acidic person.
12 Paper towels absorb the water in the table.
13 The learners make an artificial volcano by combining baking soda and vinegar.
14 Mother made a pancake for breakfast.
15 A tire is inflated.

REMEMBER…If you change the way something looks, but have not made a new substance, a
physical change has occurred. If the substance has been changed into another substance, a
chemical change has occurred.

Activity 2: Let’s Cut and Paste!!!

Instructions: Cut out each picture and glue it on the column for physical or chemical change.

MODULE IN SCIENCE 8 - MATTER

THIRD QUARTER/WEEK 3/DAY 2

OBJECTIVE: This module is intended to explain physical changes in terms of the arrangement and motion of
atoms and molecules. Specifically, it aims to enumerate and discuss the different physical/phase changes in
matter (Evaporation, Condensation, Sublimation, etc.)

Key Concepts

➢ A phase change, or transition, occurs when a substance undergoes a change in state on a molecular
level. In most substances, changes in temperature or pressure result in a substance phase change.
➢ There are several processes of phase changes, including condensation, vaporization or evaporation,
freezing, melting, sublimation and deposition.
1. Condensation occurs when a substance changes from a vapor to a liquid. In a vapor, there are
molecules with high and low kinetic energy that often collide with surfaces and each other. When
molecules with low kinetic energy collide, intermolecular forces cause them to stick together. As
temperature decreases, the kinetic energy of the molecules also decreases causing the molecules
to stick together and resulting in condensation.
2. Vaporization or evaporation is the process by which molecules undergo a spontaneous transition
from a liquid phase to a gas phase.
3. Freezing is the process through which a substance changes from a liquid to a solid. All liquids
except helium undergo freezing when the temperature becomes sufficiently cold.
4. Melting is the process by which a substance changes from the solid phase to the liquid phase.
5. Sublimation occurs when a substance changes from a solid into a gas. Increases in temperature
causes the kinetic energy of particles to also increase. This allows the particles to overcome the
intermolecular forces and become mobile. Low pressure also increases the particles' kinetic energy.
As the particles escape the solid and disperse as a gas, sublimation occurs.
6. Deposition happens when the substance changes directly from a gas to a solid without going
through the liquid phase.

MODULE IN SCIENCE 8 - MATTER

THIRD QUARTER/WEEK 3/DAY 3

OBJECTIVE: This module is intended to explain physical changes in terms of the arrangement and motion of
atoms and molecules. Specifically, it aims to enumerate and discuss the different physical/phase changes in
matter (Evaporation, Condensation, Sublimation, etc.)

Key Concepts

Changes of state such as freezing to melting are physical changes and are generally easy to reverse
though the end product may not always look exactly the same as the original material, this process is
accompanied by phase change. The particles stay the same, only their arrangement, energy and movement
changes. Each substance has three phases in which it can undergo transformation: solid, liquid or gas at
specific temperature. Every substance is in one of these three phases at certain temperatures. The
temperature and pressure at which the substance will change is very dependent on the intermolecular forces
that are acting on the molecules and atoms of the substance.

There are six distinct changes of phase which happens to different substances at different temperatures.
The six changes are:

• Freezing: the substance changes

from a liquid to a solid.
• Melting: the substance changes back
from the solid to the liquid.
• Condensation: the substance
changes from a gas to a liquid.
• Vaporization: the substance changes
from a liquid to a gas.
• Sublimation: the substance changes
directly from a solid to a gas without
going through the liquid phase.
• Deposition: the substance changes
directly from a gas to a solid without
going through the liquid phase.

See the figure inside the box for a

better understanding of the concept.

GENERALIZATION

A phase is a distinctive form of a substance, and matter can change among the phases. It may
take extreme temperature, pressure or energy, but all matter can be changed.
There are six (6) phase changes taking place in a matter.
• The process of liquid water changing to solid ice is termed as freezing.
• The process in which a solid change to a liquid is called melting.
• The process in which a liquid boils and changes to a gas is called vaporization.
• The process in which a gas changes to liquid is known as condensation.
• The process in which solids directly change to gases is known as sublimation.

MODULE IN SCIENCE 8 (MATTER)
Third Quarter / Week 3 / Day 4

OBJECTIVE: Show how phase changes in matter are affected by change in temperature
of molecular level (video clips, role-playing, etc.)
Your lesson for today: PHASE CHANGES IN MATTER
KEY CONCEPTS:
❖ Comparison of the three main phases of matter:

SOLID LIQUID GAS

Particles packed closely, Particles closely packed, Particles are far apart from
often rigid, bonded to one but able to flow; have each other, thus can move
another; have definite indefinite shape (takes the fast and freely in any
shape and volume shape of the container); direction; have indefinite
have definite volume shape and volume

❖ Phase change: Transformation from one phase of matter to another.

❖ Temperature has a direct effect on whether a substance exists as a solid, liquid or gas. Generally,
increasing the temperature turns solids into liquids and liquids into gases; reducing it turns gases into
liquids and liquids into solids.

❖ Temperature is a quantitative measure of how hot or cold something is. In Chemistry, the temperature of
a substance refers to as the average kinetic energy (energy in motion) of all the atoms or molecules of
that substance.
❖ There are six distinct changes of phase which happens to different substances at different temperature.
They are reversible changes that do not involve changes in matter’s chemical makeup or chemical
properties. The six phase changes are:
Freezing the substance changes from a liquid to a solid
Melting the substance changes back from the solid to the liquid
Condensation the substance changes from a gas to a liquid
Vaporization the substance changes from a liquid to a gas
Sublimation the substance changes directly from a solid to a gas without going through the liquid phase.
Deposition the substance changes directly from a gas to a solid without going through the liquid phase.

If heat is added to a substance, such

as in melting (solid to liquid), If heat is removed to a
vaporization (liquid to gas), and substance, such as in
sublimation (solid to gas), the process freezing (liquid to solid),
is endothermic. In this instance, heat condensation (gas to
is increasing the speed of liquid), and deposition
molecules causing them to move (gas to solid), the
faster. process is exothermic.
In this instance, heat is
decreasing the speed
of molecules causing
them to move slower.

▪ The amount of heat needed to change a substance from solid to liquid is the same to reverse from liquid
to solid. The only difference is the direction of heat transfer.
