NATURALLY OCCURRING SOLUTIONS

Examples of solutions that occur naturally are natural bodies of water

like the seas and ocean, blood plasma, air, and some mineral ores.

Many materials in nature can be used efficiently only when these are
in the form of solutions. For example, plants cannot absorb minerals from
the soil unless these minerals are in solution. Components of the food that
you eat go into solution during digestion. The nutrient particles in solution
can pass through the digestive tract and dissolve in the blood.

Seawater is a solution having a higher percentage of salt and minerals

than other sources of water like ground water or rivers. Rainwater is a
solution containing dissolved gases like oxygen and carbon dioxide. The
water you drink contains dissolved minerals like sodium, potassium,
magnesium and calcium and dissolved gases like oxygen and carbon
dioxide.
 Air is a mixture of gases. Dry air consists of about 78% nitrogen, 21%
oxygen, 1% argon, about 1% water vapor, 0.04% carbon dioxide and traces
of argon, helium, neon, krypton, and xenon. Water vapor is present in
different amounts depending on the location. Air above big bodies of water
contains more water vapor than air above deserts. Humidity is a measure of
the amount of water vapor in the air.

PROPERTIES OF METALS

In the earlier grades, you segregated objects according to the material

they are made of. You did this when you were starting the habit of 5Rs -
recycle, reuse, recover, repair, or reduce. Look around you. Which objects
are made of metal? What made you say that they are metals? Perhaps, you
have been identifying a metal based on its appearance.
Most of the time, metals are shiny. They exhibit a luster which is the
reason that they are used as decorations. Many metals are ductile. This
means that metals can be drawn into wires. An example is copper. The
ductility of copper makes it very useful as electrical wires.
 Gold is also a metal that is ductile; however, it is rarely used as an
electrical wire. What could be the reason for this?
Some metals are malleable. This means that they can be hammered
or rolled into thin sheets without breaking. An example is aluminum. It is
passed into mills and rolled thinly to produce the aluminum foil used to
wrap food. Most soda cans are made of aluminum, too.
Some metals are magnetic. This means that they are attracted by a
magnet. The common ones are iron, nickel and cobalt. Get a magnet. Try
them in different metals in your home or school. Were they all attracted to
the magnet?

1. What does ‘5Rs’ stand for?

a. Recreate, Reuse, Recover, Repair, Reduce

INTERACTIONS

The environment is a collection of living and nonliving things. Mosses

growing on rocks, garden snails gliding on garden fences, and fish
swimming in water are just a few examples of how living and nonliving
things interact. The living components of the environment are also called
organisms. The nonliving components make up the physical environment of
these organisms.
 Organisms that belong to the same species and live in the same place
form a population. The moss that grows on rocks makes up a population.
Populations that live in the same place and interact with each other form a
community; goats grazing on grass, chickens feeding on grains, and lizards
preying on insects make up a community.
Interactions between organisms and their environment are also a
familiar sight: carabaos helping farmers till the soil, earthworms burrowing
in the ground, and birds using twigs to build their nests. Organisms interact
with each other and their environment to meet their basic needs and
survive.
Some interactions are beneficial; others are harmful. There are also
interactions in which populations of organisms are neither benefitted nor
harmed. All these interactions take place in ecosystems.

1. Where do mosses grow?

a. Garden c. water
b. Rocks d. Trees

2. What is the term for organisms that belong to the same species and
live in the same place?
a. Environment c. Community
b. Population d. Ecosystem

3. What is the term used to describe the collection of living and nonliving
things in an area, including organisms and their physical
environment?
a. Ecosystem c. Organism
b. Community d. Habitat

4. Why do organisms interact with each other and their environment?

a. To eat.
b. To function in their community.
c. To deliver them from any harm.
d. To meet their basic needs and survive.

5. How are communities formed in the context of organisms and their

interactions?
a. By the presence of a single species in an area.
b. By populations that live in different places.
c. By populations that live in the same place and interact with each
other.
d. By individual organisms that interact with their environment.

PREDATION
Animals kill and eat other animals. This interaction is called
predation. An animal that kills and eat other animals is called a predator.
An animal that is killed and eaten by its predator is called a prey. Prey
animals are usually smaller and less powerful than the predator that eats
them.

In a given community, predators compete with other predators for

prey animals. In the wild, a predator's prey may be another prey's predator.
This means that while an animal hunts and feeds upon another animal, it
can also become prey to a larger and stronger predator.

When two populations use the same resource, they participate in a

biological interaction called competition. Resources for which different
populations compete include food, nesting sites, habitat, light, nutrients,
and water. Usually, competition occurs for resources in short supply.

SPEED AND DIRECTION

 Speed is defined as distance travelled divided by the time of travel.
The units of speed can be miles per hour (mi/h), kilometers per hour
(km/h), or meters per second (m/s).

In describing the motion of an object, we do not just describe how fast

the object moves. We also consider the direction to where it is going. Speed
with direction is referred to as velocity.

Whenever there is a storm coming, we are notified of its impending

danger in terms of its speed and direction. Aside from this, we are also
informed about its strength. Do you know that as the storm moves, its
winds move in circles? The circular speed of the winds of the storm
determines its strength. Different storm signals are given in places
depending on the circular speed of the winds of the storm and the distance
from the center.

SOUND

Sound is an example of a longitudinal wave. It is also classified

as a mechanical wave. Thus, there has to be matter for which sound should
travel and propagate. This matter is better known as medium.

When we talk or make any sound, our vocal cords vibrate. When
there are no vibrations felt, no sound is produced. This means that sounds
are caused by vibrations. Vibrations of molecules are to the to-and-fro or
back-and-forth movement of molecules. Vibrations are considered as a
disturbance that travels through a medium. This vibratory motion causes
energy to transfer to our ears and is interpreted by our brain. Sound waves
are examples of longitudinal waves. They are also known as mechanical
waves since sound waves need medium to propagate.

Sound waves can travel in air. When they come in contact with
our eardrums, the vibrations of the air force our eardrums to vibrate which
is sensed and interpreted by our brain.

Sound cannot travel in a vacuum. Remember that sound is a

mechanical wave which needs medium in order to propagate. If no matter
exists, there will be no sound. In the outer space, sound would not be
transmitted.

HUMAN EAR

When you were in your earlier grades you studied about the human
ear. Our ear and that of animals are the very sensitive sound detectors. The
ear is a part of the peripheral auditory system. It is divided into three major
parts: the outer ear, the middle ear and the inner ear.

The outer ear called the pinna collects the sound waves and focuses
them into the ear canal. This canal transmits the sound waves to the
eardrum.

The ear canal is the eardrum membrane or the tympanum. It

separates the outer and the middle ears physically. Air vibrations set the
eardrum membrane in motion that causes the three smallest bones
(hammer, anvil and stirrup) to move. These three bones convert the small-
amplitude vibration of the eardrum into large amplitude oscillations. These
oscillations are transferred to the inner ear through the oval window.

1. Which part of our body are sensitive sound detectors?

a. head c. ear
b. brain d. mouth

SOUND WAVES

Sound waves are mechanical waves than need for a medium for sound
to propagate. Vibrations of the medium create a series of compression and
rarefaction which results to longitudinal waves. Sound can travel in all
media but not in vacuum.
Sound is fastest in matter that is closely packed like solid and slowest
in gas. Speed of sound is dependent on factors like temperature, humidity
and air pressure. High temperature brings much faster sound. Increased
humidity, on the other hand makes sound travel slower. As pressure is
increased, speed is also increased. Inertial and elastic properties of the
medium also play an important part in the speed of sound.
Solids tend to be highly elastic than gases and thus sound travel
fastest in solids. In a single phase matter however, the inertial property
which is the tendency of the material to maintain its motion also affect
speed of sound. Humid air is more massive and is more inert than dry air.
This condition brings lesser molecular interactions and eventually slower
sound. Sound, just like other waves do have characteristics such as speed,
frequency, wavelength, amplitude, phase and period. Like any other wave,
sound exhibit properties like reflection, refraction, interference and
diffraction. Other properties are loudness and pitch. Pitch is dependent on
the frequency of sound wave. The higher frequency the higher the pitch of
the sound produced.

Organisms like us are capable of sensing sound through our ears.

Just like other organism, our ears do have parts that perform special tasks
until the auditory signals reach and are interpreted by our brain.
Frequencies beyond the audible to human are known as ultrasonic (beyond
the upper limit) and infrasonic (below the lower limit). Intensity and
loudness are quantitative and qualitative descriptions of the energy carried
by the wave. High amplitude waves are intense and are sensed as loud
sound. Low amplitude sound waves are soft sound. Music is a special sound
that forms patterns and are appealing to our sense of hearing.

LIGHT

Sir Isaac Newton believed that light behaves like a particle while
Christian Huygens believed that light behaves like a wave. A 3 scientist, Max
Planck came up with what is now known as the Dual-Nature of Light. He
explained that light can be a particle and can also be a wave. To complete
our knowledge about the nature of light, James Clark Maxwell proposed the
Electromagnetic Theory of Light.
While these scientists dig deep into the nature of light and how light
are propagated, let us be more familiar with ordinary materials we use as
common sources of light. The Sun for example is known as a natural source
of light. Sun is also considered as a luminous body (an object capable of
producing its own light). Other sources are the lamps, bulbs, and candles.
These are the artificial sources. Energy transformation is needed to convert
or transform forms of energy to light or other forms. In bulbs, electric
potential is converted to light. In lamps, chemical energy is transformed to
light.
