Changes in Solid Materials

Background Information for Learners

Solid has definite shape and volume. It has different characteristics/properties such as size,
shape, color, texture, and mass. It can be changed through many ways like cutting, tearing, folding,
twisting, bending, stretching, pressing, coloring, crumpling and melting.
Solid materials can be bent, pressed, hammered and cut. When bent, pressed, hammered and
cut these materials may change their size and shape. No new material is formed. Only the physical
appearance of the materials is changed. Bending, pressing, hammering and cutting of solid materials
is applied in situations like bending of steel bars/iron in industry, jewelry making, making of kitchen
utensils and the like.

Learning Competency with code

Describe changes in solid materials when they are bent, pressed, hammered or cut (Quarter 1,
Week 2-3) S4MT-Ie-f-5

Activity 1: Loop a Word

Search the changes that solid materials undergo which are listed in the box. The answers may be
found horizontally, vertically or diagonally.

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET

Changes in the Properties of the Materials when Exposed to Different Temperatures and
When Mixed with Other Material

Background Information for Learners

A material undergoes changes when exposed to a certain condition such as temperature or when
mixed with other materials.

Temperature is the degree or intensity of heat present in a substance or an object, especially as

expressed according to a comparative scale and shown by a thermometer or perceived by touch.
Some materials may change their size, shape, texture and form when heated. When heated, solid
materials change to liquid. When cooled, liquid materials are change to solid. The materials
(crayon/chocolate/butter and margarine) change their form from solid to liquid when heated. They
also change in size, shape and texture. The materials change back to their form from solid to liquid
when cooled.
Mixture is formed when two or more materials are combined. It can be classified into
heterogonous and homogenous mixture. Homogenous mixture is formed when solid and liquid
materials mixed with other solids and liquids, cannot be distinguished from each other and the
resulting mixture looked the same throughout, like mixing a table spoon of salt in a glass of water
and combining iodize salt and refined sugar.
When solid materials mixed with liquid it dissolved completely, some spread evenly and changed
their size, shape and color. When two liquid materials combine some mix completely.
In heterogonous mixture solid and liquid materials are mixed with other solid and liquid, each
of the mixed materials can be easily identified or distinguished from one another such as halo-halo
or pinakbet. While when water and oil combine their properties do not change but form two layers.
The oil particles are suspended on top of the water.

Learning Competency with code

temperature or when mixed with other materials. ( S4MT-Ig-h-6 )

Changes in Materials that are Useful or Harmful to One’s Environment

Background Information for Learners

Some changes in the materials are useful to the environment, while others are harmful.
Useful changes include cutting of piece of cloth for handkerchief and clothes, cutting and
shaping pieces of wood or lumber into chair, changing wood into charcoal for cooking.
Harmful changes include burning of old tires and plastic or trash, throwing of kerosene and
detergents into the sewage and others
When garbage materials such as empty bottles, plastics, toxic wastes, chemical
from factories and others are dumped into the soil or land and water, they become
polluted.
Polluted land serves as breeding places for flies, cockroaches, and rats. These pests
carry germs that cause diseases, hence hazardous to one’s health. Growing plants is not
also possible in polluted lands.
Likewise polluted water is contaminated with germs, and can cause diseases. It can
also affect the living organisms such as water plants and aquatic animals.
When the surrounding air is blanketed with smoke from factories and motorized
vehicles, ashes and other dust particles, it becomes polluted. Polluted air causes skin
itchiness, lung infections, cancer and other respiratory diseases.
Some changes in the materials are harmful to the environment. They may pollute
land, water and air. To keep our surroundings clean and to prevent or minimize pollution in
our environment, people are encouraged to do 5R’s (Reduce, Re-use, and Recycle, Repair,
Rot).
Burning of garbage such as plastic materials, rubber, and other wastes is also
harmful to the environment. Many items in household garbage when burned release
dangerous chemicals. These pose health risks for people particularly those with asthma
and other heart and lung ailments.
Because the smoke is close to the ground, it can also settle on fruits and vegetables
making them not good for humans and other wildlife. The smoke and toxins that enter the
air also contribute to the greenhouse effect and global warming. To prevent or minimize the
effect of burning of garbage or wastes, waste segregation should be done, and the 5 R’s
should be practiced.
This, in turn, changes weather patterns, which leads to other environmental
concerns. Cutting down of trees also causes soil erosion. Many animals native to forests
also lose their habitats. Cutting down of trees is prohibited. To solve the problem on
deforestation, planting of trees (reforestation) should be done.
