Conventional Curriculum Map in Science 4

Grade Level Standard: At the end of Grade 4, learners can investigate changes in some observable properties of materials when mixed
with other materials or when force is applied on them. They can identify materials that do not decay and use this knowledge to help
minimize waste at home, school, and in the community. Learners can describe the functions of the different internal parts of the body in
order to practice ways to maintain good health. They can classify plants and animals according to where they live and observe
interactions among living things and their environment. They can infer that plants and animals have traits that help them survive in
their environment. Learners can investigate the effects of push or pull on the size, shape, and movement of an object. Learners can
investigate which type of soil is best for certain plants and infer the importance of water in daily activities. They learned about what
makes up weather and apply their knowledge of weather conditions in making decisions for the day. They can infer the importance of
the Sun to life on Earth.

4. Abstraction
• Ask students
the following
questions:
-What are the
main sources of
water?
-What are the
other sources of
water?
• The main
sources of
water are the
following:
Seawater is
salty. It
contains plenty
of salt. It is
found in the
seas and
oceans.
Seawater is also
called hard
water;
Freshwater is
also called
surface water.
Unlike the
 seawater, it
does not
contain salt.
This found in
the open but
small bodies of
water like
rivers, lakes,
creeks, and
ponds; And,
Groundwater is
found beneath
the earth’s
surface. It
comes from
water that seeps
into the ground.
These
accumulate in
the
underground
layer called
water table.
• Other sources of
water are clouds,
icebergs, and
glaciers. Clouds
come from
evaporating
water. Glaciers
and icebergs are
solid water found
only in a very
cold countries
and contain about
two-thirds of the
earth’s
freshwater.

• Ask students the
following
questions:
-What are the
bases in telling
the weather
condition?
-Why do we need
to give accurate
data in telling
about the weather
condition?
• Weather charts
tell about weather
components that
determine
weather condition
at any given time.
The daily weather
report you know
the weather
condition.
Weather report is
important. We
should give an
accurate data on
air temperature,
wind speed, and
direction and sky
condition.
• Observing the
weather condition
will help us
decide the kind of
activities we will
do for the day.
Each one of us
must care about
the weather
because our work
depends on its
condition for each
day. Knowing the
 weather condition
helps us to be safe
and prepare for
dangers and
calamities.

4. Abstraction
• Ask students the
following
questions:
-What is Sun?
-What is the
importance of the
Sun?
• Today, we know
the sun as our
closest star in the
universe. This
ball of gas has a
large build-up of
heat and pressure
in its core that
causes it to emit
heat and radiant
energy.
• Solar energy
supports all life
on Earth and is
the basis for
almost every form
of energy we use.
The sun makes
plants grow,
which provide
energy to humans
in the form of
food. Plant matter
can also be
burned as
biomass fuel or, if
compressed
underground for
millions of years,
form fossil fuels
like coal or oil.
Heat from the sun
also causes
different
temperatures on
the Earth itself,
which produce
wind that can
power turbines.
More energy from
the sun falls on
the Earth in one
hour than all
humans consume
in one year.
Unlike various
forms of
conventional
types of energy
like coal, oil or
natural gas, solar
energy is a
renewable form
of energy.
Though a variety
of technologies
have been
developed to take
advantage of solar
energy in recent
years, solar power
accounts for less
than one percent
of electricity use
in the United
States. However,
given the
abundance of
solar energy and
its popular
appeal, this
resource is likely
to play a
 prominent role in
our energy future.
