the lesson
The property of matter that enables materials to absorb water is the liquid’s
special ability called capillarity. Capillarity is the ability of liquid to pass through
narrow spaces without the assistance of an external force like gravity.

Absorbent materials are normally seen in objects with a lot of holes that allow
liquid to get inside the materials and occupy the spaces in it through capillarity.

There are materials that seem to have no holes in them but are still able to
absorb liquid because these materials have very tiny holes (which are almost
microscopic) that only allow liquid to come in. This property of material is called
porosity.

Porosity is the ability of a material to absorb or hold liquid or moisture to a certain


extent (Balatbat, et.al. The New Science Links Worktext in Science and
Technology 4)

Application:
You are in the dining room with your family. You accidentally spill the glass of
water into the dining table. What will you do to wipe off the water on the table?
Can the material absorb water? What are the characteristics of the material that
makes it absorb water?

(Integration) In a glass of water, you spilled ¾ of the content of the glass. How
much water was left in the glass?

1 or 4/4 – ¾ = ¼

How did you get the answer?

How about this?

6/10 – 2/10 =
4/6 – 3/6 =
4/5 – 2/5 =

EVALUATE

Direction: Identify the materials on their ability to absorb water. Write ABSORB if
the material can absorb water and X if the material cannot absorb water.
