BRIEF INTRODUCTION

LESSON

1
How Can I Change Solid Materials?

LET’S LEARN
Animated Objects. This is Mr. Pencil. He is here to help you understand, learn and
explore the different properties of solids.

Hi! Kids, good day to all of you! It’s me your friend Mr.
Solid Pencil. Welcome to the world of matter.
As you can see, I am in a solid form. Solids are known to
hold their shape and they don't flow like a liquid. A rock will
always look like a rock unless something happens to it.

3
Solids can hold their shape because their molecules are
tightly packed together. Just like this!

Look all around your room. Try touching

and analyze the things that you can see.
All the materials inside your room now
that you can hold and see are most likely
solids. Can you try using your senses with
these materials? Can you see, touch, and
smell them? And can you also feel if it is
hard or soft?
• All solids can take up space and has
a mass.
• Solids also has a shape of its own.
(Fallaria, Rebecca R. Et al., Science
Spectrum;2004)
When you see them and touch them, you
can easily describe their characteristics or
properties.

Do you also know that solids like me have

different characteristics or properties like our
size, shape, texture, and also color? We can
alter these characteristics by making changes
like bending, pressing, hammering, and
cutting. I know you have ideas in your mind
about what materials you can change the
properties. You can grab your pen and paper
then list them on.
Are you now ready to answer some activities?
Now let us go to the next section of this
module to understand more about the
properties of solid.

REMEMBER

• A Solid has definite shape and volume. You can hold solids.
• Sloid materials have different characteristics or properties such as size, shape,
color, texture, weight, etc.
• Solid materials can be changed through many ways: by cutting, tearing, folding,
twisting, bending, stretching, pressing, coloring, crumpling, melting, and others.
• Such actions may change the material’s size, shape, texture, color, and other
characteristics or properties. Science Learner’s Material 4;(2015) Lexicon
Press, p. 30

BRIEF INTRODUCTION

LESSON
What Happens to Solids When Bent, Pressed, and

2 Hammered?

LET’S LEARN
Do you wonder what might happen to solids when we bend, press or even use a
hammer on it? Let us know from this friendly community helper.

Hi kids! My name is Cart. Do you know what I do for a living?

Yes you guessed it right! I am a carpenter. Today I am going to
make a pretty house. Could you help me out? Okay! Let’s go!

When we are building anything, we are dealing with different kinds

of solid materials. But hey! Before we can make something out of
these solids, we change their characteristics by bending, pressing
or even hammering them.
We learned in the previous lesson that solid materials have
different characteristics that we can change. Can you give
some examples of these characteristics?
To make a house, we need to bend some
materials. Bending is making a straight object
into a curved one. Now, can you find a small
metal just to try it out? let’s say a paper clip.
What have you observed about the paper clip
when you bend it?

Also, we need to press some materials. What is Pressing?

Pressing is apply pressure to (something) to flatten, shape, or
smooth it. (Merriam-Webster). Can you think of any situation
wherein you can use pressing to change the properties of a
material?

What do you think is the difference between bending and

pressing?
That is correct! When you bend a material, the straight form
becomes curved, and when you press a material it becomes
straight or flatten.

7
 We are almost done with our project. Whew! But before that
we should also know what is hammering. When we
hammered a material we use to beat, strike or pound the
object.
As a carpenter, we use tools like a hammer to strike
materials to change its properties.
Now we are done. Hurray!!! You are now ready to answer
the activities in this lesson.

Activity 2.1. Change is in!

Objective: Describe what happens to solid materials when bent and pressed.
Direction: Pair with a friend. Try to BEND and PRESS each material. See which of them
can be bend or press then put a check-mark in the appropriate box and write what
change happen.

 Activity 2.2 Pound It Up!
Objective: Describe what happens to solid materials when
hammered.
Direction: Hammer each of the given materials. Record your
observations on a separate sheet of paper. Be careful in using the
hammer and don’t forget to ask help from an older person in doing this
activity.

hammered?

Activity 2.3 Let’s Compare!

Objective: Differentiate changes in the materials when bent and
pressed.
Direction: Using a Venn Diagram, compare the changes in solid
materials when we Bend and Press them.

REMEMBER

• Solid materials can be bent. When bent, these materials may change their size
and shape. No new material is formed. Only the physical appearance of the
material is changed.
• Solid materials can be pressed. When pressed, these materials change their size
and shape sometimes even texture. but no new material is formed and only the
physical appearance is changed.
• Solid materials can be hammered using a hammer tool. When hammered, they
may change their size, shape, and even texture. However, no new material is
formed because only the physical appearance is changed. Science Learner’s
