BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR LEARNERS:

The materials that exist around us are made up of matter. They

can be solids, liquids, or gases. There are different materials in our
environment which can be identified and described according to their
characteristics or properties. They can also be classified based on
their ability to absorb water, float, or sink, and undergo decay.

Materials that Absorb Water

Absorb means to take in something such as liquid in a natural

or gradual way. Sponge is a porous material that can absorb water
because it has small holes that allow air or liquid to pass through.

On the other hand, plastic is a non-porous material which does not

absorb water. Its surface is smooth and sealed which does not allow
air or liquid to pass through.

Materials that Float and Sink

1
 Float means to rest or remain on the surface of a liquid while
sink means to fall to the bottom of a liquid. Some materials float on
top of the water. Some materials stay submerged partway down the
water. Some materials sink fast and some sink slow. Everything can
either float or sink. There are some objects that are heavy, but they
float. Other objects are light, but they sink. The reason some objects
float, and others sink because of the object’s density. The less
density an object has the easier it will float in the water. The more
density an object has, the easier it will sink in the water.

Materials that Undergo Decay

Decay means to be slowly destroyed into bits in the presence of

water, air, and soil. Plants and animals do not decay at the same
time. Decaying materials are things that are rotten, and it can be
decomposed because of bacteria that it absorbed or it has. Some of
the decaying materials are as follows: fruit peelings, leaves, dead
bodies, paper, and food. Decaying materials become organic
fertilizers that enriches the soil. Many factors contribute to the
processes of decomposition, including temperature, amount of light,
aeration, moisture, type of material that is decomposing, and the
source of bacteria and fungi. Refrigerating leftover foods avoid or
delay spoilage because microorganisms that break down food do not
grow fast in cold temperature.

(Q1_LP2)

BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR LEARNERS:

Solid materials have definite shape and volume. They have

different characteristics or properties such as: size, shape, color,
texture, and weight. They can be changed by cutting, tearing, folding,
twisting, bending, stretching, pressing, coloring, crumpling, melting,
hammering and others. These actions may change the size, shape,
texture, color, and other characteristics or properties.

Materials that Can be Bent

Bend means to force or shape an object into a curve or angle

without breaking. Solid materials can be bent. When bent, these
materials may change their size and shape. No new material is
formed. Only the physical appearance of the materials is changed.
Straight wire Bent wire

https://shop.dentaurum.us/index.php?id=p&psn=11911&pgsn=3053&ch=2047dfl https://circlips.co/product/wire-bending-part/

Look at the pictures below and decide which ones are easy to bend
and which ones are hard to bend.

https://www.pinterest.ph/pin/561964859760807714/ https://www.pinterest.ph/pin/634303928771407643/

Some things are easy to bend like the plastic straws, cellphone cord
and paper clips. Other things do not bend at all, like the wooden
table, glass bottle and hollow block. Bending is one of the important
tasks in the metal processing industry. Steel and stainless steel are
two of the most important alloys used in bending.

Materials that Can be Pressed

Press means to apply pressure to flatten or shape an object.

Solid materials can be pressed. When pressed, these materials
undergo physical change. They may change their size, shape, and
texture. However, no new material is formed because only the
physical appearance of the material is changed.
Pressing a dough Pressing a clay

https://us.gozney.com/blogs/academy/how-to-make-pizza-from-scratch https://pureandsimplepottery.com/pages/what-is-a-slumphump-mold

Pressing a cloth Pressing a flower

https://sewingiscool.com/pressing-cloth-alternative/ https://www.bhg.com/crafts/easy/how-to-make-candles/

Pressing solid materials is very useful in some activities. In pastry

industry, pressing is done to flatten a dough into a desired shape like
circular shape for pizza. In pottery, clay is forced into a mold in order
to take on a certain shape. When sewing, pressing is specifically
important to get the polished look of the clothes. Pressing is done by
placing the iron down on the material and lifting it rather than sliding it
across the fabric. Pressed flowers can be used to decorate note

cards, bookmarks, place cards, or lampshades, made into ornaments,
and many more.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR LEARNERS:

Solid materials have definite shape and volume. They have

different characteristics or properties such as: size, shape, color,
texture, and weight. They can be changed by cutting, tearing, folding,
twisting, bending, stretching, pressing, coloring, crumpling, melting,
hammering and others. These actions may change the size, shape,
texture, color, and other characteristics or properties.

Materials that Can be Hammered

To hammer means to hit or heat an object using a hammer or

similar tool. Solid materials can be hammered. When hammered,
these materials may change their size and shape, an even the
texture. However, no new material is formed because only the
physical appearance of the material is changed.

Materials Used in Hammering

A material used in hammering usually

consists of a solid head held on the
end of a handle. It can be used for
beating, striking or pounding
materials.
https://www.thespruce.com/tips-for-properly-using-a-hammer-1825125

Malleable materials may be flattened into thin sheets by hammering.

Examples of malleable metals are gold, iron, aluminum, copper,
silver, and lead. Gold and silver are highly malleable. When a piece of
hot iron is hammered it takes the shape of a sheet. The property is

14
not seen in non-metals. Non-malleable metals may break apart when
struck by a hammer. Other solid materials like rock and cement can
be broken down into pieces using a hammer. Hammers are very
useful to us but extra care should be observed when using these to
avoid accident or injuries.

Materials that Can be Cut

Cut means to break the surface of an object or divide

something using a sharp tool such as knife or a pair of scissors. Solid
materials can be cut. When cut, these materials may change their
size and shape, but no new material is formed. Hence, only the
physical characteristics or properties of the solid material is changed
when cut. Not all solid materials, like iron, steel, etc., can be cut using
sophisticated cutters (i.e., metal cutters/machine cutters.)

Cutting tools

https://einatkessler.com/the-right-tool-for-right-cu/

These are some of the tools used for cutting paper, plastic,
cardboard, fabric and other materials. These can be very useful when
doing creative handy crafts and household activities. Extra care
should be observed when handling cutting tools to avoid accident or
injuries.

SCIENCE 4
(Q1_LP4)

BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR LEARNERS:

Look around you. Name the things that you see. Can these
things be changed? How? Anything that occupies space and
has mass is called matter. It can exist as solid, liquid, or gas. These
states change when exposed to certain conditions like temperatures.
Heat is the degree of hotness and coldness of an object. When
heat is applied, matter changes its state from one form to another.
They may change their size, shape, texture, and composition.
Heating can also cause irreversible change.

When exposed to heat, some solids

like ice, frozen oil, and wax change
state from solid to liquid. It is called
melting. What solid materials found
in your house melt when heated?

https://www.grubstreet.com/2015/09/ice-cream-never-melts.html

Ice cream melts because of heat.

When liquid changes to gas, it is

called vaporization. When water is
hot enough and starts to boil,
bubbles of water vapor are formed
in the boiling water. Observe this
when your mother boil water for https://i1.wp.com/dl.img-news.com/dl/img/s4/dl/2020/03/Sucking-in-boiling-
water-vapor-for-five-minutes-does-not.img.jpeg?fit=%2C&ssl=1

your milk. Water vapor is formed when water

boils.

20
 Matter expands when heated and
contracts when cooled. Do you know
how a thermometer works? A
thermometer is partly filled with a liquid
like mercury. As the temperature
around the thermometer’s bulb heats
up, it expands, and the liquid rises in
the glass tube. If you ever find the lid of
https://pepper.ph/make-these-mango-soju-

glass jar stuck, try running it with
The liquid in the hot water. This will
party/ make the lid
thermometer expands and expand slightly and it will then be easy
contracts. to unscrew.

Cooling is removal of heat, usually

resulting in a lower temperature and
phase change. Cooling can change water
to ice which is called freezing but ice will
return to its liquid state when removed
inside the freezer. Same thing will happen
https://pepper.ph/make-these-mango-soju-yakult-ice-
to ice cream and ice candy. candies-for-your-last-summer-party/

Ice candies become solid

through cooling.

Some heated solid materials that liquefy do not need freezer to

become solid again. Others return to their original state by just letting
it cool by itself.
Heating and cooling both alter the properties of materials. They
change the materials’ form, size, shape, and texture.

SCIENCE 4
(Q1_LP5)

BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR LEARNERS:

Mixing is a part of your everyday life. Some stuff that you use or
eat wouldn’t be as good it is without mixing.

When two or more materials are combined, a mixture is formed.

Materials of the same and/or different forms can be mixed to form into
new. Examples of mixtures are halo-halo, hot milk, sandwich, and
fruit salad.

Mixtures are classified into two, HETEROGENEOUS MIXTURE

and HOMOGENEOUS MIXTURE. Heterogeneous mixture is a
combination of two or more materials which after mixing can still
easily be identified from one another.

Have you tried eating Buko Pandan

Salad? This Pinoy Dessert is an example of
heterogeneous mixture by which you can
easily pinpoint the shredded coconut, coconut
gel (nata de coco), green gulaman jelly and
milk.Can you name examples of
heterogeneous mixture found in your kitchen? https://pilipinasrecipes.com/buko-pandan-salad-recipe/

Famous Buko Pandan Salad

Some materials when mixed with other

materials form a mixture which looks the
same all throughout; such mixture is
called homogeneous mixture. A good
example of homogeneous mixture is the
https://artfulparent.com/how-to-make-homemade-bubbles/
homemade bubble solution that you play
Bubble solution is a
homogeneous mixture.

27
with. The mixture looks the same all throughout but is actually made
up of three components, water, sugar, and dish soap.
Solids can be combined with liquid materials, but they behave
differently depending on the property of the solid. Some completely
dissolve, others do not. Other solids settle at the bottom of the
container while others stay within the liquid. Some solids spread
evenly in the liquid, but some do not. When mixed with liquid, some
change their size, shape, and color but some do not.

A solution is a homogeneous mixture in

which the solute completely dissolves in
the solvent. Solvent is the material in
which a solute dissolve while solute is
the one that dissolves in a solvent. Salt
solution is a good example of this kind.
https://k8schoollessons.com/solutions/

Salt solution is composed

of a solute (salt) and
solvent (water)

There are mixtures where in the solid components spread

throughout the liquid without dissolving in it. The particles settle at the
bottom after some time, this is called suspension. You can see this
when you put sand in an aquarium.

Liquid materials can also be mixed with other liquid materials.

Liquids which completely mix are called miscible. Vinegar and soy
sauce are miscible while water and oil are immiscible.
