Materials that Absorb Water, Float and Sink, Undergo Decay
Background Information for Learners
Matter has different properties, some absorb water, sink and some
undergo decay.
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. Absorb means to take in something, such
as liquid in a natural or gradual way. Some materials can absorb water
more than others. Porous materials are materials having small holes that
allow air or liquid to pass through. For example cotton is very porous,
which makes it a natural absorber of water. While plastic is a non-
porous material, it does not allow water to pass through.
Some materials float or stay on top of water, while some

submerge partway down or sink. Sink means to fall to the bottom of
water while float means to stay on top. Some sink fast, others sink
slowly. Their ability to float or sink depend on their ability to absorb
water.
Matter also undergoes decay which means to be slowly destroyed

into bits. The factors that contribute in the decaying process of the
materials are sunlight, water, soil and the action of bacteria and other
microorganisms. Not all materials decay at the same time. Plants and
animals undergo the decaying process or decomposition. The organic
matter in soil is derived from the decayed parts of plants and animals that
enhance the fertility of the soil.
In this Learning Activity Sheets, this will s help you master the
properties of matter its ability to absorb water, float, sink and undergo
decay.

Changes in Solid Materials
Solid has definite shape and volume. It has different

characteristics/properties such as size, shape, color, texture, and mass. It can be
changed through many ways like cutting, tearing, folding, twisting, bending,
stretching, pressing, coloring, crumpling and melting.
Solid materials can be bent, pressed, hammered and cut. When bent,
pressed, hammered and cut these materials may change their size and shape. No
new material is formed. Only the physical appearance of the materials is
changed. Bending, pressing, hammering and cutting of solid materials is applied
in situations like bending of steel bars/iron in industry, jewelry making, making
of kitchen utensils and the like.
Describe changes in solid materials when they are bent, pressed,

hammered or cut (Quarter 1, Week 2-3) S4MT-Ie-f-5

Changes in the Properties of the Materials when Exposed to Different

Temperatures and When Mixed with Other Material
A material undergoes changes when exposed to a certain condition such as

temperature or when mixed with other materials.
Temperature is the degree or intensity of heat present in a substance or an

object, especially as expressed according to a comparative scale and shown by a
thermometer or perceived by touch. Some materials may change their size,
shape, texture and form when heated. When heated, solid materials change to
liquid. When cooled, liquid materials are change to solid. The materials
(crayon/chocolate/butter and margarine) change their form from solid to liquid
when heated. They also change in size, shape and texture. The materials change
back to their form from solid to liquid when cooled.
Mixture is formed when two or more materials are combined. It can be
classified into heterogonous and homogenous mixture. Homogenous mixture
is formed when solid and liquid materials mixed with other solids and liquids,
cannot be distinguished from each other and the resulting mixture looked the
same throughout, like mixing a table spoon of salt in a glass of water and
combining iodize salt and refined sugar.
When solid materials mixed with liquid it dissolved completely, some spread
evenly and changed their size, shape and color. When two liquid materials
combine some mix completely.
In heterogonous mixture solid and liquid materials are mixed with other
solid and liquid, each of the mixed materials can be easily identified or
distinguished from one another such as halo-halo or pinakbet. While when
water and oil combine their properties do not change but form two layers. The
oil particles are suspended on top of the water.

Changes in Materials that are Useful or Harmful to One’s

Environment
Some changes in the materials are useful to the environment, while others
are harmful. Useful changes include cutting of piece of cloth for handkerchief
and clothes, cutting and shaping pieces of wood or lumber into chair, changing
wood into charcoal for cooking. Harmful changes include burning of old tires
and plastic or trash, throwing of kerosene and detergents into the sewage and
others
When garbage materials such as empty bottles, plastics, toxic wastes,
chemical from factories and others are dumped into the soil or land and water,
they become polluted.
Polluted land serves as breeding places for flies, cockroaches, and rats.
These pests carry germs that cause diseases, hence hazardous to one’s health.
Growing plants is not also possible in polluted lands.
Likewise polluted water is contaminated with germs, and can cause
diseases. It can also affect the living organisms such as water plants and aquatic
animals.
When the surrounding air is blanketed with smoke from factories and
motorized vehicles, ashes and other dust particles, it becomes polluted. Polluted
air causes skin itchiness, lung infections, cancer and other respiratory diseases.
Some changes in the materials are harmful to the environment. They may
pollute land, water and air. To keep our surroundings clean and to prevent or
minimize pollution in our environment, people are encouraged to do 5R’s
(Reduce, Re-use, and Recycle, Repair, Rot).
Burning of garbage such as plastic materials, rubber, and other wastes is
also harmful to the environment. Many items in household garbage when
burned release dangerous chemicals. These pose health risks for people
particularly those with asthma and other heart and lung ailments.
Because the smoke is close to the ground, it can also settle on fruits and
vegetables making them not good for humans and other wildlife. The smoke and
toxins that enter the air also contribute to the greenhouse effect and global
warming. To prevent or minimize the effect of burning of garbage or wastes,
21
waste segregation should be done, and the 5 R’s should be practiced.
22
This, in turn, changes weather patterns, which leads to other
environmental concerns. Cutting down of trees also causes soil erosion. Many
animals native to forests also lose their habitats. Cutting down of trees is
prohibited. To solve the problem on deforestation, planting of trees
(reforestation) should be done.
Identify changes in materials whether useful or harmful to one’s

environment (Quarter 1, Week 6-7,) S4MT-Ii-j-7
Activity 1: What are the changes in the Materials that are Useful and
Harmful to the Environment?
Direction: Complete the chart below by putting a check in the proper

column.

burning of old tires
throwing of detergents into the

Activity 2: Useful or Harmful?
Direction: Read the following statements carefully. Draw a happy face

when the change is useful to the environment and sad face if harmful.
1. cutting a piece of cloth to be made into face mask

2. making compost from fruit and vegetables peelings
3. kaingin or burning of forest
4. cutting of wood/lumber into chair
5. changing wood into charcoal for cooking
6. throwing of dead bodies of animals in the river
