What’s New
Classification Text is a text type when the text or paragraph has organized ideas by groups or
types. They describe them for the reader to see comparisons and contrast among the objects.

Matter
Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass. The three states of matter are solid, liquid,
and gas. Solid has a definite shape and volume like rock, notebook and table. Liquid has a
definite volume, but take the shape of the container like milk, oil, and water. Gas has no definite
shape or volume like air and oxygen. Matter can be classified according to physical and chemical
properties.

Read this explanation and complete the prompt.

Planting
Rice Planting rice is not an easy work to do. The farmers have to plow, harrow, and level the land
first. They have to prepare the seedbed and wait for the seedlings to grow. Transplanting the
seedlings adds to the back bending work. Then the farmers have to visit the field, fertilize the
plants, and remove weeds and pests after planting. Before rice gets on the table, palay grains will
still have to be dried and threshed.

What is It
A. Read the paragraphs and classify it by how the spider gets its food, web, and habitat using
the table.

Spider
The most common spider is the garden spider. This spider builds its orb web hanging from twigs
and leaves. To hunt for food, it stays very still in the middle of the web waiting for a prey. As
soon as a fly gets trapped into the web, the spider, feeling the vibration, moves to catch the food.
The water spider lives in ponds underwater. Its web is bell-shaped. To catch water bugs, it traps
food in a bubble of air. Water spiders use silk to house their eggs under water. They are found in
swamps, marshes, creeks, and ponds.

What’s More
A. Read the paragraphs and classify the characteristics of each organism.

Energy and nutrients are transferred from organisms to organisms through their feeding
relationships. Producers are green plants, algae or microorganisms that are capable of making
their own food. They make their own food by converting the energy from the sun into chemical
energy. Producers provide energy and nutrients to other organisms. Consumer get their energy
by feeding on plants and other organisms. Therefore, all animals are consumers. Organisms that
eat only plants are herbivores. Living things that eat other animals are called carnivores. Some
animals which eat both plants and animals are omnivores.

B. Read this explanation and answer the questions.

The life cycle of a butterfly is truly amazing. Butterflies have four stages, the egg, the larva
(caterpillar), the pupa (chrysalis), and the adult butterfly. Each of the four stages are very unique
to individual species of butterflies which is part of what makes watching and raising butterflies
so much fun. Butterflies are not only beautiful creatures but do a great deal for the environment.
They are plant pollinators. They also serve as sustenance for other species.

What Can I do
A.DIRECTIONS: Read the paragraph and fill in the diagram below.

Animals are born in different ways. Some animals are egg-laying while some are born alive.
Animals which lay eggs to the environment are birds, snakes, frogs, turtles, lizards, and insects
while animals which undergo gestation are born alive. Cats, cows, dogs, and whales are animals

offices and other buildings. Some forest trees give materials for making pulp, paper, wall board,
furniture, rattan, gum and fire wood. Medicinal plants are also taken from forests.

Assessment
A. Complete the graphic organizer to classify the types of plants and their characteristics.
Plants have different types according to lifespan: annual, biennial, and perennial. Annual
are seasonal flowering plants. Biennial takes two years to grow while perennials are those that
last longer.

B. Distinguish text-type according to purpose and feature by giving explanation to the

question.

The building of gases in the earth’s atmosphere causes the greenhouse effect. With so
many gases in the atmosphere, earth becomes like a greenhouse because the heat from the
surface cannot easily escape into the outer space. Because of the gases that block the heat from
escaping to the outer space, there is global warming, thus, the temperature of the Earth rises.
Some of the effects of global warming are an increase in sea level, droughts, storms, extinction of
animals, loss of coral reef and increase in temperature.

Additional Activities
A. A rock is a natural substance composed of soiled crystals of different materials that have been
fused together into solid lump. There are three basic types of rock: igneous, sedimentary and
metamorphic.

B. Read the explanation text - type and answer the questions that follow.
The amount of water on Earth remains constant. But its form is always changing, from solid to
liquid, from liquid to gas, and back again. It moves in a pattern called water cycle. Heat from the
sun causes water in oceans, lakes and rivers to evaporate into vapor. Further, vapor is given off
by plants and animals.
