INSTRUCTIONAL PROCEDURES

PERIOD 1: States of Matter

NOTE

Matter

Matter is a substance made up of various types of particles that occupies physical space

An atom is the basic building block of chemistry. It is the smallest unit into which matter can be divided without the release of electrically charged particles. It also is the smallest unit of matter that has the characteristic properties of a chemical element.

There are three states of matter: solid; liquid and gas.

Properties of the three states of matter

Solids

1. Solid are characterized by structural rigidity and resistance to changes of shape or volume.
2. Unlike a liquid, a solid object does not flow to take on the shape of its container
3. it does expands to fill the entire volume available to it like a gas

Examples of Solids

1. Gold.
2. Wood.
3. Sand.
4. Steel.
5. Brick.
6. Rock.
7. Copper.
8. Brass.

Liquids

1. Liquids have fixed volume, but not fixed shape. ...
2. Particles of Liquids are closely to each other (but not as close as solids)
3. Liquid does not fill container completely like gases. ...
4. Liquids are able to flow easily as particles are able to slide over each other.

Examples of Liquids

1. Water.
2. Milk.
3. Blood.
4. Urine.
5. Gasoline.
6. Mercury (an element)
7. Bromine (an element)
8. Wine

Gases

Properties of gases

1. they are easy to compress
2. they expand to fill their containers
3. they occupy far more space than the liquids or solids from which they form.

Examples of gases include

1. Hydrogen.
2. Nitrogen.
3. Oxygen.
4. Carbon Dioxide.
5. Carbon Monoxide.
6. Water Vapour.
7. Helium.
8. Neon.

Concept of evaporation, condensation, melting and freezing

Evaporation happens when a liquid turns into a gas. It can be easily visualized when rain puddles “disappear” on a hot day or when wet clothes dry in the sun. In these examples, the liquid water is not actually vanishing—it is evaporating into a gas, called water vapor.

Condensation is the process where water vapor becomes liquid. It is the reverse of evaporation, where liquid water becomes a vapor

Melting means the definition of melt is to turn from a solid to liquid as a result of exposure to heat. An example of melt is what an ice cube does when exposed to the sun.

Freezing is the process when a liquid turns into a solid. Freezing occurs when heat is lost from an object, which causes the molecules to slow down and form tighter bonds. One example of freezing is when water turns into ice. Freezing is the opposite of melting

EVALUATION:    1. Explain the meaning of Matter

2. Explain the meaning of atom as it relates to matter
3. Mention the three states of matter
4. Describe two properties each of
5. solids
6. liquids
7. gases
8. Give three examples each of
9. solids
10. liquids
11. gases
12. Explain these concepts
13. evaporation
14. condensation
15. melting
16. freezing

CLASSWORK: As in evaluation

CONCLUSION: The teacher commends the pupils positively

Apparatus activities in gymnastics

In women’s competition, the other events are balance beam, uneven bars, and the vault. In men’s competition, the other events are parallel bars, pommel horse, still rings, and the vault.

Online safety

Online safety refers to the act of staying safe online

Ways we can use the internet safely

1. Protect your personal information with strong passwords.  
2. Keep personal information private.
3. Make sure your devices are secure.
4. Pay attention to software updates.
5. Be careful about wifi.
6. Set up two-factor authentication.
7. Back up your personal data.

Online threats

Online threats, are a category of cybersecurity risks that may cause an undesirable event or action via the internet

Common Online threats

1. Computer Viruses. Computer viruses are the most common among internet security threats out there.
2. Malware
3. Phishing
4. Botnets
5. Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS)
6. Trojan Horse.
7. SQL Injection Attack.

EVALUATION:    1. List five floor activities in gymnastics

2. List two apparatus activities each both for men and women in gymnastics
3. Define
