What do you think will happen to our
environment if the changes in the materials are
useful or harmful?

Let the pupils watch the video clip.

1. Generalization
a. What are the three types of soil and
their characteristics?
2. Application
Pupils will find the area of
a. Mr. Dela Cruz is planning to make a
vegetable garden which measures 10 the land using the formula
of finding the area of a
animals.
- Loam soil is good for
planting and growing plants
because it contains a large
amount of nutrients needed
by the plants like decayed
plants and animals.
Soil is very important in
food production because a
healthy soil produces
healthy plants and animals.
- The soil will be polluted
and will become harmful to
living organisms.
- As a pupil I can help
protect our soils and
conserve other natural
resources by practicing the
5R’s (Reduce, Reuse,
Recycle, repair and Rot) in
disposing our waste.
The three types of soil are
Clay, Loam and Sand.
Clay. Particles are packed
together tightly. It is sticky
when wet and has the finest
texture.
Loam. It is a mixture of
sand and clay. It contains
large amount of decaying
plants and animals. It has a
fine texture.
Sand. Particles are coarse
and loose. It does not hold
water. Water can easily pass
through between soil
particles.

that he will know the amount of soil = 10m × 12m
needed to fill the area.
= 120 square meters
Mr. Dela Cruz should put
loam soil to his garden
b. What soil do you think Mr. Dela Cruz because it contains nutrients
must put to his garden so that his plants needed by the plants to
will grow healthy? grow, like decaying plants
and animals.
