SCIENCE V QUARTER 1 MODULE 3
Brief Introduction
Matter around us changes in many ways. Some of the changes happen very fast like
breaking of glass which changes its shape and size. While other changes take time to happen like the
ripening of fruits or rusting of iron nails. Changes in matter are classified as physical or chemical
change.
Learning Competencies (Essential Competencies)

Investigate changes that happen in materials under the following conditions:
1. presence or lack of oxygen
2. application of heat(S5MT-Ic-d-2)
Objectives
Describe physical and chemical change operationally
Identify the characteristics of physical and chemical change
Differentiate physical change from chemical change
Investigate changes that happen in the presence and absence of oxygen
Let’s Recall (Review)

Directions: Identify the property of each given material. Encircle the
correct answer from the words inside the parenthesis.
1. blanket (thermal conductor, transparent, absorbent)
2. detergent powder (soluble, heat insulator, absorbent)
3. silver (biodegradable, flammable, malleable)
4. gasoline (flammable, conductor, biodegradable)
5. insecticide (toxic, corrosive, reactive)
Let’s Understand

Matter is constantly experiencing changes. It may change in size, shape, or state
without changing the identity of the materials. It may be a change in its composition
resulting in the production of new substances. Physical changes occur when matter
changes its properties like texture, shape and size, color, without changing the chemical
composition of the materials.
The rubber band changed in size and in shape when it was stretched. Once
the force exerted upon it was released, the rubber band returned to its original size and
shape.

In the same manner, the cutting of paper has changed its shape and size. The identity of
the paper remains the same after it changed its size and shape.
Chemical change differs from physical change. In chemical change, new and different
materials are formed. The new materials formed have different properties from the original
materials. For example, when you burn logs, ashes are produced. The logs react with the
heat and oxygen causing it to burn and produce ashes. Ashes have different materials from
logs. Water and carbon dioxide were released during the chemical change. As a result, the
composition of the original material changed. The product (ash) can no longer return to its
original form (logs).
Burning of logs turns it into ashes. Ash is a new substance

formed from burning.
The following are characteristics observed when a physical change is happening:

• During a physical change only the physical properties (such as size, shape,
color, andstate) changes.
Composition of rock particles remains the same.
• During a physical change no new substance is formed.

When you place an ice cream on a table, you will observe shortly that it is starting to
melt. Melting process does not change the composition of the ice cream. It changed its state
or form, but the composition of ice is still water.
The same composition even they change in state.
• It is a reversible change. Substance can return to its original form.

The following are characteristics observed when chemical change is happening.
During chemical change there is a change in appearance and composition of the
substance. A new material is formed.
Iron is a very hard material. When iron combines with oxygen and moisture in the
air, rust is formed. Rust is soft and powdery. When a material undergoes a chemical
2
change, the new material formed cannot be brought back to its original form.
Iron materials develop rust due to oxygen exposure.
Release of heat and light

An example of this is burning of wood. As it burns, it releases heat, light, and
carbondioxide.
Changes in color
A continuous change in color is a sign that a chemical change happened.
Example is rusting of iron. From the grey color of iron, slowly changes its color to reddish
brown.
A Marked Odor
Another sign that a material undergoes a chemical change is the release of odor
different from its original smell. The rotten meat starts to release a terrible smell as it
starts to spoil.
Formation of bubbles
Another obvious sign that a chemical reaction occurs is the release of bubbles. When
you mix vinegar with baking soda, bubbles of carbon dioxide will be formed.
baking soda with vinegar releases bubbles of carbon dioxide
The presence of oxygen has various effects on matter. Oxygen in the air is a very reactive
chemical and is important in many chemical reactions such as combustion, rusting and the reactions by
which we get energy from the food we eat. Combustion is the process of burning in the presence of
oxygen, giving off heat and light. For fire to occur, there should be heat, fuel and oxygen.
Oxygen, heat, and fuel are needed to produce fire.
Another example affected by the presence of oxygen are fruits. Some fruits like apple, turnips,
mango, etc. and some root crops like sweet potato, carrots etc. have enzymes which when combined
with oxygen give its brown color, a sign of spoilage.

The browning of fleshy part of an apple is due to exposure to oxygen.
