our environment that can be
classified according to their
observable properties.

LESSON 1: Materials that Absorb Water
There are different materials in our environment that
can be grouped according to
their properties. They can be classified based on their
ability to absorb water or not.
ABSORB- means to take in (something,
such as a liquid) in a natural or gradual way

 DAY 1: Materials that Absorb Water
1. Materials that absorb water are porous.
Porous materials are materials having small holes that allow air
or water to pass through.
Below are some examples of porous materials.
 Objects that are made of cotton like cotton buds, coffee filters, cotton
wool, floor mop,thread and others.
 Objects that are made of wood such as tissue paper, newspaper,
envelopes, notebookand others
· Textile products that are made of cloth like shirt, jeans, socks,
skirt, carpet and others
 Sponges and coconut husks
Some of the material absorb water more
than others. Cotton is very porous,
which makes it a natural absorber of
water.
POROSITY is the property of a
material to absorb liquid like water.
EXAMPLE OF POROUS MATERIALS MADE OF COTTON

EXAMPLE OF POROUS MATERIALS MADE OF CLOTH
OTHER EXAMPLE OF POROUS
MATERIALS
Materials that do not absorb water are non- porous.
Non- porous materials are materials that do not allow
air or water to pass through.
The following materials are the examples of non-
porous.
 Objects made of plastic like plastic bag, raincoat and
umbrella
 Objects made of rubber such as tire, rubber bond and
slippers
 Objects made of glass, metal, stones, marbles

MATERIALS THAT FLOAT AND SINK?

What makes an
object sink or
float?
LESSON 2

Density
- is a measure of how heavy
something is compared to its size.
It determines whether an object
will float or sink.
 What is floating?

If an object is less dense than water, it

will float. Floating is when objects
rest on the surface of the water.
What is floating?
If an object is less dense than the water it is placed
Float
in, it will FLOAT. means to stay on top of the
water. Styrofoam, wood, plastic spoon and apple are
some of the objectsthat float. Many hollow things like
balls, balloons, empty bottles will also float; that is
becauseair is less than water. This is also the reason
why a big ship can float though it is very heavy. There
are lots of hollow space filled only with air inside of a
ship.
EXAMPLES

Wood
Styrofoam
Empty Bottles

Balloons
Ball
 What is sinking?

If an object is denser than water, it

will sink. Sinking is when objects rest
at the bottom of the water.
What is sinking?
If an object is denser than the water it is placed in, it

will SINK. Sink means to go at the bottom of the

water. Rocks, metal, coin, screw and bean are some of
the examples of objects that sink. In case of a sponge,
we can notice that it floats at first on the water,
however, as it begins to absorb water, it gets too heavy
and sinks.

MATERIALS THAT UNDERGO DECAY

Materials that undergo decaying are called

biodegradable materials or bio-waste.They
are decomposed by microorganisms into environment-
friendly waste products. Unlike non-biodegradable
materials, it cannot be recycled. Decay means to be
slowly destroyed into bits in the presence of water,
air and soil.
LESSON 3
MATERIALS THAT UNDERGO DECAY

Not all plants and animals decay at the same time.

Some were compressed under water and thick layers
of soil over millions of years. They were converted
into fossil fuels such as coal, oil or natural gas.
These fuels are used by power stations,
factories, motor vehicles and others.
LESSON 3
MATERIALS THAT UNDERGO DECAY
The organic matter in soil is derived from plants and
animals. It becomes organic fertilizer. Organic fertilizer
from compost pit does not harm but enrich the soil. Some
factors that contribute to the decaying process of the
materials are: sunlight, water, soil and action of
microorganisms. Leftover food is kept in refrigerators
to avoid or delay spoilage since microorganisms
that break down food do not grow fast in cold
temperature.
