3.3.1 Introduction
A single matter has its unique set of properties. Just as
people are distinguished by their physical attributes and
traits, matter is distinguished by its properties. Today,
well be discussing about properties that are present in
all kinds of matter.
3.3.2. Presentation of the lesson
General properties are the properties that are (The students will listen attentively and raise their
common to all types of matter
hands if theres a question.)
Mass - is the amount of matter present in a body,
object or substance. It is a property that will not change
under all conditions.
Weight - is the measure of the gravitational force
acting on a body or an object? The value of gravity of
any object on the earths surface is constant; 1 kg of
mass weighs 9.8 newtons.
A person with more mass has more gravity, therefore,
weighs more.
Volume - is the amount of space that an object or body
occupies. Solids occupy a definite space, while liquids
and gases take the space of their containers.
Volume of regular solids can measured using the
formula V = l x w x h. Volume of irregular solids are
determined using the water displacement method (to be
demonstrated later).
Density - is the ratio of an objects mass to its volume.
Density is measured using the formula D = M/V and is
expressed in g/cm3 or kg/m3.
3.3.3 Comparison and Abstraction
When you go to a higher surface, or on another planet, Yes.
will your weight change?
If your mass here on earth is 50 kg, will your mass No.
change if you go to the moon?
Differentiate mass and weight.
How does density relate to an objects mass and Density is obtained by dividing the mass to its
volume?
volume.
3.3.4. Application
(The students will follow the procedures while
Volume of a regular solid
observing results and answering questions.)
1. Measure the length, width, and thickness of a
book using a ruler.
2. Multiply the three measurements taken to get
the volume of the book.
Mass and Weight
Using a platform balance, compare the weights of
different things that can be found inside the classroom.
How do we measure the mass of an object?
By using a scale or balance.
Density
1. Put a block of wood on the beaker with water.
Take note of the part submerged in the water.
2. Put another wood with a different mass.
Compare the submerged parts.
What property of matter was demonstrated?
Density.
3.3.5. Generalization
What do you call the properties common to all types
of matter?
General properties.
What is the amount of a matter present in a body,
object or substance?
Mass.
What do you call the measure of gravitational force
acting on a body or object?
Weight.
What is the amount of space that an object occupies?
What is the ratio of an objects mass to its volume?
Volume.
These measurements of the general properties of

matter are important in everyday living. Many fields of
expertise that have daily applications require accurate
measurements. The concept of density is important to
the production of aircrafts, ships, etc. How do these

Answer: a. 50 kg
V. ASSIGNMENT
1. Calculate the mass of a block of Iron (p=7.86 g/ml) with dimensions 52.8cm x 6.74cm x 3.73cm.
2. Calculate the density in g/ml of a piece of metal that has a mass of 12g and occupies a volume of
1.6 ml.
3. A cube of lead measures 3.0 on each edge and has a mass of 308g. Calculate the density in g/cm3.
