Later on we will discuss each one of them.

So now, what do you think is our topic this Our topic is all about soil and its type.
morning?

Great! Our topic for today is all about the soil and
its different types

b. Discussion

We are going to learn about the soil and its types.

The earth is composed of three parts namely soil,
water and air with the interaction of the sun as
the main source of energy on earth.

We have to just focus on the soil as one of the

important natural resources on earth.

Let us define what is soil?

Soils are complex mixtures of minerals, water,

air, organic matter, and countless organisms that
are the decaying remains of once-living things. It
forms at the surface of land – it is the “skin of the
earth.” Soil is capable of supporting plant life and
is vital to life on earth.

Different types of soil have different physical

characteristics. Each soil type differs in color,
texture, odor and it’s ability to hold water

There are three types of soil namely: clay,

loam and sand.

Types of Picture Characteristics

Soil
A.Clay -Particles are
packed together
tightly.
- It is sticky in
wet and has a
finest texture.
-Clay soils may
be a reddish
brown or darker
brown color and
 shiny when wet.
B.Loam It is a mixture of
sand and clay.
-It contains large
amount of
decaying plants
and animals.
- It has a fine
texture.
- The color of
loamy soil can
vary depending
on the type of
organic matter
present, but it’s
typically a rich,
dark color.

C.SAND -Particles are

coarse and
loose.

-Sandy soil will

generally be a
pale brown,
beige, or gray
color but the
color can be
darker. Sandy
soil has the
largest particle
size of all the
soils.

c. Enrichment Activity

As you grasp the content of our lesson

today, we’ll move forward to an activity
to assess your understanding of the
lesson.

Direction: Write True if the statement is correct

and False if it is not.

and loam.

d. Generalization

Let us review of what we have discuss

while ago.

What is soil again?

Bravo!

What type of soil that the particles are

coarse and loose? The three types of soil are clay, sand, and loam.

How about the type of soil that is sticky in

wet and has a finest texture? Sand

What type of soil that contains large Clay

amount of decaying plants and animals?

Very good class.
