Learning Plan
Subject: SCIENCE Grade Level: 4
Teacher: Miss. ALYSSA MAE F. DAPADAP Quarter: FIRST
Unit Topic: MATTER Date: AUG-OCTOBER
EXPLORE
This unit investigate changes in some observable properties of materials when mixed
with other materials or when force is applied on them. They can identify materials
that do not decay and use this knowledge to help minimize waste at home, school,
and in the community.
EXPLORE:
List down the three (3) different materials that are found inside your house.
Classified in them as Solid, Liquid, or Gas as shown in the chart below:
SOLID LIQUID GAS
LIVING
ROOM
KITCHEN
BEDROOM
COMFORT
ROOM
PROCESS QUESTIONS:
1. How do you classify materials that you found at home?
2. What made these materials differ from each other?
3. Are these materials useful in your everyday activities? Why?

ACTIVITY 1: WHAT IS IT?
Observed the materials you have listed in NAME THAT THING ACTIVITY. What
will happen if you place them in a basin with water? Which materials will absorb
water and which material does not? As you continue the lesson you can take a
look of materials in our environment that can be classified according to their
ability to absorb water.
Below are objects that you’re going to classify whether they absorb water or do

ACTIVITY 2: WHAT I CAN DO?
In the following situations you are going to apply your
knowledge about porous and non-porous materials. Identify what
materials you are going to use and explain why.
Activities at Home What material are you going to
use? Explain Why?
1. A glass of milk spilled on the
table. You want to dry the table
immediately. What material are you
going to use?
2. You are tasked to wash the
dishes? What material are you
going to use to clean the used
plates?
3. You are going to buy food
essential in the market? What kind
of material are you going to use in
storing food essentials that you
bought?
4. In medical purpose, what are
going to use to clean or remove
blood from minor wounds?
3. Form 102 OAL
5. During rainy days what kind of
material are you going to use to
prevent from getting wet?
6. You observed in a carwash
station that they a using a special
kind of material in cleaning the car.
What kind of material is it?
ACTIVITY 3: Can I Float or Sink?
Materials:
stone, pencil, metal spoon
plastic saucer
toy doll made of rubber
toy doll made of wood
styropore cup
rubber ball ,eraser, plastic bottle with cover
pail or basin with water
Procedure:
1. Pour water into the
pail or basin.
2. Place each material
inside the basin.
3. Describe what happen to the objects and record your observation.

PROCESS QUESTIONS:
1. Did all the materials float in water?
2. Which of the materials sink?
3. Describe the characteristic of these materials after you place them on
water?
4. Why do you think some materials float and some sink?
5. After you dropped the different object into the water and saw that it
(sank/floated) were you able to understand why your prediction was
wrong?
ACTIVITY 4: Decaying Matter
Materials:
Transparent plastic cups, slices of bread, water, banana sliced, plastic bottle
lid,kangkong leaves/ camote leaves, leftover food, and soil.
4. Form 102 OAL
Procedure:
1. Cut each material into smaller pieces.
2. Place each material in separate transparent cup. Label each cup according to
materials. Put a soil in each cup.
3. Moisten the cup with ½ spoonful of water and cover it with black plastic .
4. Tighten the the black plastic with a rubber band.
5. Bring your set up outside where it will get sunlight.
6. Visit you set up every day, and record your observation on the 3rd and 7th day.

PROCESS QUESTIONS:
1. What are the characteristics of the material before cutting it?
2.What material did you add to every set up before
covering it with plastic sheet?
3.Can you still identify the original materials that you
used? Why?
4.What changes happened to the materials when you
visited and observed your set up after three days and
on the seventh day?
