We are all surrounded by many
kinds of materials. These
materials come in different
forms. They can be: solids,
liquids, or gases. Solids, like any
other materials have different
characteristics or properties.
These characteristics or
properties include the size,
shape, color, odor, and texture.
Identify which material will float
or sink in water.
Materials
1. paper clip
2. rock
3. ball
4. ship
5. feather
In our environment, there are
many and different materials
that can be classified according
to its properties. Some
materials can be classified
based on its ability to absorb
water while some materials
can absorb water more than
the others.
In this lesson, you will learn
more about how to classify
which materials absorb water
and which that do not.
Directions: Write A for
absorbent if the materials
absorb water
and NA for non-absorbent, if
the materials do not absorb
water.

D. Discussing new concepts Properties of Matter
and practicing new skills. What can you say about the
#1 pictures in Set B? Do you think
that these materials have the
ability to absorb water also? If
you placed all these materials in
water, which materials will have
the ability to sink or float in
water?
Porosity is the property of a
material to absorb liquid like
water. Porous materials have
plenty of spaces or holes called
pores where liquid can be
quickly absorbed. In Set A, you
see that towels, tissues and
sponge are good materials that
absorb water. They are used at
home for.
Other materials that absorb
water like tissue paper, cottons,
and cloth are called porous
materials. These materials can
easily undergo decay also. This
happens because the presence of
water or moist in the materials
can cause degradation of the
materials due to presence of
microorganisms that harbors or
pile up in the materials.
Materials like plastic or metal
spoons and forks, porcelains,
cups, iron nails, aluminum cook
wares and glasses that you used
at home do not absorb water or
liquid, hence, they are called non-
porous materials.
There are no holes or spaces
between their particles.
____ 10. Sponge
MATERIALS THAT ABSORB AND
DO NOT ABSORB WATER
Absorb means to take in
(something, such as liquid) in a
natural or gradual way. Paper,
cardboard, sponges, pumice
stones, untreated wood, and
cork are a few examples of
porous
materials.
Porous materials have small
holes that allow air or liquid to
pass through. See sample of a
pore stone background. These
materials may also be called
absorbent materials.
On the other hand, non-porous
materials do not allow air or
liquid to pass through. They
may also be called
nonabsorbent
materials. An example of which
are hard-surfaced substances
like
stainless steel, hard covering,
one on the basin of water.
Step 2. Lift up the material and
squeeze.
Step 3. Record your observations
in the table provided.
Step 4. Do the same for each
material.
Matter aside from its phases can
also be classified according to
their properties. One of these is
its ability to absorb water. Some
materials can absorb water,
others do not.
Materials can be classified based
on their ability to absorb water.
Absorb means to take in
something like a liquid in a
natural way. Materials that
absorb water are called Porous
Materials. It is full of tiny holes
that allow air (gasses) or liquid
(fluid) to pass through.
Let us take a look at the pictures
below. Observe the sponge
in the first picture. Describe it.
What happens to the sponge
when we soak it in a basin with
soap and water?
The first picture shows that the
sponge has small holes.
These holes will absorb water,
thus makes the sponge heavy.
When we squeeze or hold the
sponge tightly it will drip droplets
of soapy water as shown in the

E. Discussing new concepts The ability of materials to
and practicing new skills absorb water is due to the
#2. presence of loose fibers with
lots of pores or holes between
the particles that make up the
materials. In sponge, for
example, these hole or pores
absorb water, making the
sponge swell. When you are
cooking, you make sure that
materials are clean before using
them. When you squeeze the
sponges, you are forcing the
water or liquid cleanser out of
the holes that cleans the
surface of the dishes, glasses or
spoons that you washed and
used in cooking.

The ability of materials to sink or
float in water depends on their
density. Density is the amount of
mass of an object per unit
volume. Water has a density of 1
g/cc (gram/cubic centimeter). If
the density of an object is higher
than the density of water, that
object will sink in water. But if
the density of the object is less
than the density of water, the
object will float in water.
Different materials have different
densities. For example,
gold will sink in water because its
density of 19.3 g/cc is higher than
the density of water which is 1
g/cc.
Examine the picture of ice cubes
above.
What do you think will happen to
the ice cubes if you place them in
water?
What about these used styro cup
for noodle, a ship and a metal
bell, will they sink or float in
water?

having their dinner.
Identify at least 3 porous and 5
non-porous materials. Write your
answer in the chart given below.
and rigid synthetic elements or
substances.
• There are different materials
in our environment that can be
classified based on their ability
to absorb water more than
the others.
• Cotton is very porous, which
makes it a natural absorber of
water.
• Plastic as a non-porous
material does not allow water
to
pass through.
• Porous materials are
materials having small holes
that allow
air or liquid to pass through.
Directions: Tell whether the
materials are porous or non-
porous by checking the
corresponding column.
second picture.
Let us have another example
when you are in the swimming
pool, you wear a swimsuit, or
rash guard, just like what is
shown
in the picture. What have you
observed when you removed and
squeezed your swimsuit or rash
guard?
There are droplets of water
coming from your swimwear
because it absorbs water. Your
swimwear is made of cloth. Cloth
or fabric is an absorbent
material. It can be made into
hand towels, handkerchief, and
rags.
It is important to know the ability
of materials in absorbing water
because it will help us to decide
on what materials to use.
There are different household
chores that we use materials that
absorb water like washing dishes,
wiping off spilled liquids,
cleaning our car or motorcycle,
and cleaning the windows, floor,
and walls of our house.
Absorbing materials are also
used in cleaning and treating our
wound, wiping off our sweat, and
cleaning our body during bath.
Direction: Group the following
materials according to their
ability to absorb water. Write
only the name of the object.
 6. facial tissue 7. plastic cup 8.
detergent 9. clothes pin 10. rice
grain
Steps:
1. Prepare small basin with 3/4
full of water. (You can replace
water after each task if needed)
2. Soak each of the materials
numbered 1 to 10, one at a
time.
3. Test each material if it will
absorb water.
4. Copy table 1 to write your
answer by putting a check (/)
mark in column I.
5. Observe if these materials will
float or sink in water.
6. Check each item that float or
sink in columns II and III,
respectively.

Analyze each situations that
happened at home carefully.
Then, write your answers briefly.
Situation 1:

spilled on the table. What should
you use to dry the table? Why?
Directions: In one or two
sentences answer the following
questions:
a. Color the things that you use
during rainy season.

• What is sink and what is float?
Sink means to go below the
surface of the water, and float
means to stay above the
surface of the water.
I. Evaluating Learning Directions: The following are
materials commonly found at
home.

will they float or sink?
• Are all plants and animals decay
at the same time?
Biodegradable materials can be
decomposed by microorganisms
such as bacteria, enzymes, and
fungi. Non- biodegradable an
object that cannot be
decomposed into organic and
environmentally safe wastes
products. This is unlike
biodegradable objects which can
easily be decomposed by soil
bacteria into organic and safe
materials.
