Science 6 — Can You Get It Back?
A physical change can be undone because the material is still there. A chemical change cannot, because a new material now exists. The week's whole difficulty is that those two statements are not quite the same thing — and a shattered glass is the case that proves it. The honest test is not whether you can undo it. It is whether something new was made.
The set for this week
Every item is one file. It opens with a double-click, works with the Wi-Fi off, and copies to a phone or a USB stick.
Course Syllabus
For the teacher. The full year on the three-term calendar. All 37 CG competencies across four domain quarters, with the quarter's required performance task given its own week.
Lesson Plan — ILAW
For the teacher. The whole five-day week in the format DepEd prescribes for filing. Day 3 is the shattered glass — the case where the textbook test and the real test give different answers.
Lesson Plan — Lesson Exemplar
For the teacher. Day 1 at teaching depth. A saucer of salt water goes on the windowsill in minute four and is not mentioned again until Friday. Seven anticipated misconceptions.
Assessment Pack
For the teacher. A Table of Specifications, two tests with keys, a weekly check, and rubrics for all four quarterly performance tasks — which the Science guide requires rather than suggests.
Class Record
For the teacher. Raw scores in, grade out, at 20 / 50 / 30 under DO 015 s. 2026. Transmutation is a year switch, not a constant. Nothing is stored and nothing is sent.
Slides
For the class. Fifteen slides. The change-of-state flowchart is the one the curriculum asks for by name, drawn once and used all quarter.
Can You Get It Back?
For the class. Three rounds of escalating demand. Round 3 stops asking for the label and starts asking which separation technique would actually recover the material — which is where the idea earns its keep.
Offline Activities
For the teacher. Three individual and two group activities needing nothing but salt, sand, water, cloth and a windowsill. Every group member has a named role, and both group activities work in a class of 45.
Learner Worksheet
For the class. One A4 page per learner. Every row asks for the label and the evidence, and the last item is the one where the two tests disagree.
Get It Back
For the class. A different route to the same competency, not a shorter one. Four tasks, each with a worked example above it, starting from things the learner has actually recovered rather than from the two words.
Wall Chart
For the class. A4 landscape, printable and laminatable. The two changes, the evidence for each, and the separation techniques — legible after a black-and-white photocopy.

+What Good Work Looks Like
For the class. The standard, stated to the learner before the task rather than after.
+Get It Back — Science 6
For the class. Science 6, Term 1 · Week 3. A4, photocopy-safe, answer key screen-only.
+Ten Minutes at Home: The Saucer on the Windowsill — Science 6
