Step 4. Do the same for each material.

Material What happened when you squeezed the material? Put a if the material absorbs water or if
it does not.

cotton balls
face towel
rubber balls
rug
sponge
t-shirt
tissue paper
rubber slipper
plastic mat
bond paper
D. Discussing new concepts and practicing new skill #1 (Explore)

There are different materials in our environment that can be classified according to

their properties. They can be classified based on their ability to absorb water. Some materials can

absorb water more than others.

Porous materials are materials having small holes that allow air or liquid to pass through

COTTON is very porous which make it a natural absorbent of water.

Non-porous materials are materials that do not allow air or liquid to pass through.

PLASTIC is a non-porous material which does not allow water to pass through.

ABSORB- to take in something, such as liquid in a natural or gradual way

Guide Questions:

1. What are the examples of materials that absorbs water?

2. Describe what happened to the material when it absorbs water.

3. What comes out as you squeeze the sponge?

4. How do porous and non- porous materials differ?

 2

G. Finding practical application of concepts and skill in daily living

______1. Flower vase

______2. Plastic cup

______3.Basket

______4.Bamboo stick

______6. Stones

______7. Metal Spoon

______8. Plastic Bottle cup

______9. Drinking glass

______10.Closed empty plastic bottle

Study the picture. Click on the names of the materials that float.

Choose the correct answer.

Directions: Study the pictures below. Write D if the materials will undergo decay in a short time and N if it will not.

2. Which do you think are the materials that will decay fast and

which will decay slowly?

3. What are the characteristics of the materials that undergo

fast decay?

statement is false change the underlined word/s with porous, nonporous, absorb or does not absorb. Do this in your Science

notebook.

_____1. Plastics are porous materials.

_____2. Non-porous materials are materials having small holes that

allow air or water to pass through.

_____3. Cotton is a porous material.

_____4. Materials made out of cloth do not absorb water.

_____5. Wood is a material that absorbs water.

B. Directions: Write A for absorbent if the materials absorb water

and NA for non-absorbent, if the materials do not absorb water.

C. Directions: Read each question carefully. Write the letter of

the correct letter on your notebook.

1. An object should float in a liquid if it is

a. heavy b. lighter than metal c. shaped like a ball d. less dense than the liquid

2. A tiny piece of sand is very light but sinks in water. This is because

a. sand is heavy b. sand is a solid c. sand is denser than water d. there is more water than sand

3. A candle floats in water but sinks in alcohol. This is because

a. water is lighter than alcohol b. water is heavier than alcohol

c. the candle is lighter in alcohol d. water and alcohol are both liquids

4. A carrot floats in salt water but sinks in fresh water. This is because

a. the carrot is lighter than saltwater b. fresh water is heavier than saltwater

Ask the learners to read their Module. Let the learners accomplish the listed activities on a separate sheet of paper.

A. What’s In p. 11
Directions: Look at the pictures. Which of these will float or sink in water? Write your answer in your notebook.

B. What’s New, p. 18

Note to the Parent / Learning Facilitator: Guide your children

in doing this activity. Remind them to be careful in handling the

materials while performing the activity.

Directions: Copy and record all your observations of the activity

as indicated in this module in your Science notebook.

Activity 1: “Floating…Sinking...”

What you need:

rubber ball metal spoon 1 L empty bottle Styrofoam pencil stones pail or basin

What to Do?

1. Gather all the needed materials for the activity.

2. Measure 1 L of water and put water into the pail or basin.

3. Put the materials one by one into the pail/ basin of water.

4. Observe what happens.

5. Check (√) if the materials float in water or (X) if it sink.

Guide Questions:

1. Which of the materials floated in water?

2. Which of the materials sank in water?

3. Does the weight of an object affect its ability to float?

4. What makes some of the materials float in water?

Activity 2: “Name it”

Directions: Study the pictures below. Be able to identify each name and write it on the given table. Check the proper column which classify materials based on their ability to
float and sink.

C. What Is It, p. 14
Points to Remember: For better understanding of the activities, read and understand the information below.

MATERIALS THAT FLOAT AND SINK

• Sink means to fall to the bottom of water, float means to stay on top.

• Some things float on top of water, some things stay submerged partway down, and some things sink.

• Some things sink fast and some things sink slowly. • An object’s weight can affect its ability to float, but some materials float no matter what their weight or size such as
Styrofoam and balsa wood. If the material is less dense (lighter) than the liquid, it will float.

D. What’s More, p. 14-15

Directions: Activity 1. “Float or Sink” Directions: Look around your home, find at least two materials that floats and another two that sinks. Draw it in your Science
notebook.

Activity 2. “Vocabulary” Directions: Write F if the sentence describes the property of floating in water and S if it describes sinking. Do it in your Science notebook.

_______1. stays on top of water

_______2. settles at the bottom of water
