Science 5

Quarter 4
Week 4: Day 1
Directions: Identify the
changes that took place in
the following activities when
there is an application of heat
and with the presence or
absence of oxygen.
 Changes in
Materials
Due to Heat and
Oxygen
Some changes in matter may
result in negative effects like
pollution, destruction of
habitat, and loss of lives.
Improper disposal of
garbage, harmful chemicals,
and human waste can cause
changes. It can pollute air,
land, and water.
Burning of garbage materials
releases dangerous toxic
chemicals, and gases that
contribute to the intense
greenhouse effect that may lead
to global warming. Smoke from
the burning of fuels can cause
air pollution. Cutting down trees
is also harmful to our
environment. It affects the
quality of air that we breathe.
The changes in the color of
the inner fleshy part of the
eggplant is due to its
exposure to oxygen. The
same phenomena could also
be observed in potato,
banana, guava, cassava, and
other fruits and vegetables.
How do you keep the eggplant
from turning brown? Place in a
large bowl of water with a
teaspoon of salt dissolved in it.
The water should be enough
for all the sliced eggplant to
dip in fully. This is to prevent
the oxygen present in the air
to react with the chemicals
present in vegetables.
Activity 1

“Fire Out”

Have you seen a fire or flame? If not,

observe the fire in the picture below
• How does fire start?
• Will fire continue its flame in
the absence of oxygen?
• Suppose we will cover it with a
basin, what do you think will
happen to the fire?
• What are the three important
things needed for combustion to
occur?
 What have
you learned?
Directions: The following are
activities whereby materials
undergo change. As a Grade Five
learner, how will you change
these activities in order to have
a good effect on the
environment?
1. You have a loaf of bread
which was not eaten for two
weeks already. When your
mother checked the bread, she
saw some molds on it. Your
mother threw these breads
inside the trash bin together
with the other
nonbiodegradable waste
materials.
2. At home, you have a pile of
tin cans with rust. Your brother
dumped these tin cans in the
land at your backyard.

3. Your family went to the

beach. While swimming, you
and your cousins used shampoo
and rinsed it in the sea.
4. Your father is fond of reading
news in the newspaper. Over
the years, he has collected many
piles of newspaper stocked in
your house. Your mother sees
these newspapers as something
that occupies space in the
house, so she has decided to
burn all these.
5. Mang Kanor has poultry.
He always throws the chicken
manure into the river at the
back of his house.
Week 4: Day 2
Directions: Read the
questions carefully.
Explain how changes in
matter affect the
environment. Write the
letter of the best answer.
1. The following materials undergo
a physical change. Which of the
changes in matter has a bad effect
on the environment?
A. freezing of meat to preserve it
in a long period of time
B. using spray paint in tin cans to
cover the rust
C. cutting of the fabric to be made
into clothes Evaporation of
rainwater
2. The following materials undergo
chemical change. Which of these
changes in matter has a good effect
on the environment?
A. burning of plastic
B. composting of biodegradable
wastes
C. exposing alcohol to direct heat or
fire
Combustion of gasoline in the car’s
engine
 3. Cutting of trees has its advantages
and uses to the people. Which of the
following is a bad effect of this activity?

A. Cutting of trees may result in house

construction.
B. Cutting of trees may result in paper
production.
C. Cutting of trees may result in
furniture making.
D. Cutting of trees may result in
flooding.
 Changes in
Materials
Due to Heat and
Oxygen
It causes a rapid change in
the temperature and in turn
changes the weather
patterns, which leads to other
environmental concerns.
Throwing into the river the
detergents used for washing
the clothes makes the river
become polluted because
these contain toxic substance.
Polluted water kills living
organisms like fish, and water
plants. When land is dumped
with garbage, the land
becomes polluted, if this
happens, the polluted land
will serve as the breeding
places for pests that carry
germs, hence dangerous to
human health.
Another example of a change
in materials when oxygen is
present is in combustion. It
occurs when oxygen combines
with another substance (as
fuel) and produces fire with
heat and light. Combustion is
also known as burning. It is
always exothermic, that is,
giving off heat.
In combustion, oxygen, fuel,
and heat are always present.
For example, when you lit a
candle, its wick burns if
oxygen and wax (candle) is
present and heat is produced.
Other examples include the
burning of wood or charcoal
for cooking and burning of
petrol or diesel to run your car.
Activity 2

“Fish Kill”

A fishpond owner reported that

there had been a fish kill in the
pond. The fisheries bureau
investigated the incident, only to
find out that the fishpond was
overly populated
• What could be the cause
of the fish kill?
• What is needed in the
overpopulated pond?
Directions: Express your
understanding of the lesson in this
module by supplying the blanks in
the following sentence with a word
or a phrase.

I learned that
(1)___________________
application in matter results to
either (2)___________________
and (3)___________________.
The presence or absence of (4)
___________________ has various
effects on matter. Common
examples are (5)
___________________and (6)
___________________. Fire will
continue its flame provided that
there is continuous supply of (7)
_________________________, (8)
_________________________, and
(9)___________________.

Week 4: Day 3
What have you
learned?
Directions: The following
are activities done on
objects where heat is
applied. Draw a star if it
shows physical change
or a half moon if it
shows chemical change.
1. Heating a handful of
sugar
2. Boiling of water
3. Burning of paper
4. Drying of clothes
5. Grilling pork
DID YOU KNOW?

When heat is added to substance,

the molecules and atoms vibrate
faster. As atoms vibrate faster, the
space between atoms increases. The
motion and spacing of the particles
determine the states of matter of the
substance. Solids, liquids, and gases
expand when heat is added.
 Changes in
Materials
Due to Heat and
Oxygen
We have to do our share in
maintaining a healthy
environment. We must avoid
too much use of electricity
and gasoline. We must also
avoid burning rubber tires
and plastics.
If oxygen is present in a wet
material with iron, such as a nail
or steel bar, the formation of rust
occurs. It only happens when
iron, oxygen, and water react
with one another. Rust occurs
when iron or alloys such as steel
corrode, thus rusting is
commonly known as iron or steel
corrosion.
Activity 3

“Rusting”

Observe the rusted iron nails.

• What causes the formation of
rust in the iron nails?
• What shall we do with the iron
nails to minimize or prevent it
from rusting?
• What are the two factors
that influence the formation of
rust in the iron nails?
What have
you
learned?
Directions: List down activities
that you can do with the
following materials to save and
protect the environment.

1. left-over food
2. rusted tin cans
3. empty boxes
Week 4: Day 4
 Do you
remember our
lesson
yesterday?
Directions: Based on the given physical
and chemical properties of matter,
identify which property is being
described. Choose your answer from the
words in the box.
1. Ability to break easily
2. Ability to decompose by
microorganism
3. Ability to let the heat and
electricity to pass through
4. Ability to be stretched and
return to its original shape
5. Ability to resist pressure
that may cause deformation
 Changes in
Materials
Due to Heat and
Oxygen
Practices that will produce
acid rain, increase global
temperature, or deplete the
ozone layer must be
minimized. No matter how big
or small the contribution you
give, what matters most is
you’ve made a difference for
our environment.
Changes in materials can
cause a good or a bad effect
in the environment. Some
changes in materials are
good for the environment.
Composting, recycling, and
the use of technology are
some examples of the good
effects of the changes in
materials.
Composting is a way of
decomposing plant or animal
matter into fertilizer.
Recycling helps lessen
garbage by reusing them like
plastic, styrofoam, old tires,
and paper. Evaporation and
condensation are forms of
physical change in matter.
Evaporation is a crucial part
of the water cycle. Water from
all areas on Earth will not be
recycled if it will not
evaporate into water vapor as
clouds in the sky.
Condensation is important in
transforming water vapor to
droplets of water stored in
clouds.
