- 1. LESSON 2 CONTENTS OFELEMENTARY SCIENCE IN A SPIRAL PROGRESSION
- 2. CONTENTS OF ELEMENTARY SCIENCEIN A SPIRALPROGRESSION Science in a spiral curriculum design is one in which "key concepts are presented repeatedly throughout the curriculum but with deepening layers of complexity." The learner tries to spiral upwards learning as the new knowledge is introduced as well as the new process skills are developed.
- 4. THE CONTENT OFSCIENCE IN THE K TO 12 CURRICULUM IS MADE UP OF THE FOUR MAJOR FIELDS OR DISCIPLINES
- 5. THE CONTENT OFSCIENCE IN THE K TO 12 CURRICULUM IS MADE UP OF THE FOUR MAJOR FIELDS OR DISCIPLINES A. Chemistry ( Matter: Diversity of materials, properties and structures, change and interactions B. Biology (Living and their Environment) C. Physics ( force, motion and Energy); and D. Earth and Space (Surroundings and Land, Water and Air, weather, Climate and Solar System)

Each area is taken up in every quarter since there are four quarters in every school year level.
- 9. Science as asubject in the Philippines' K to 12 curriculum starts in Grade 3, but components like content, processes, inquiry, and science attitudes are introduced in Kindergarten, Grade 1, and Grade 2. These components are incorporated into areas like Social Studies, Mother Tongue Multi-Lingual Education, and Communication Arts. Future teachers should teach science as a subject, not just embedding it in other subjects.
- 10. Grade 3 Matter Properties andStructure of Matter • Characteristics of solids, liquids and gases. • Changes in Solids, Liquids and Gases Grade 4 Matter Properties and Structure of Matter • Properties used to group and store materials (ability to absorb water, float or sink; decaying or non-decaying) Regrouping materials: recycle, reduce, reuse, recover, repair. Changes that materials undergo. • Changes that are useful. • Changes that are harmful. Major Area: Chemistry Description in the Elementary Curriculum: Matter The chart below shows the different topics that are taken in progression in Chemistry from one lower grade level to another higher grade level. All the topics are anchored on one bigger topic as Properties and Structure.
- 11. Grade 5 Matter Properties andStructure of Matter • Properties used to minimize waste. • Importance of reading product label Changes that matter undergoes. – • Evidence of change. • Appropriate ways of storing materials Grade 6 Matter Properties and Structure of Matter • Mixture and their Characteristics -Heterogeneous mixtures: solutions, and suspensions -Colloids Separating mixture
- 12. Major Area: LivingThings and Their Environment The next major topic is Biology which is described as Living Things and Their Environment. Let us see the different topics and how these progress in the different grade levels. Grado 3 Living Things and their Environmental Characteristics of Living Things Parts and Functions of Living Things • Humans • Animal • Plants Traits Passed on From Parents • Humans • Animal • Plants Interactions of Living Things with the Environment • Basic needs • Feeding relationships
- 13. Grado 4 Living Thingsand their Environmental Parts and Functions • Humans -Major organs of the body -Caring for the -major organs -Diseases that affect the major organs • Animal -Terrestrial animals - Aquatic animals • Plants -Terrestrial plants - Aquatic plants Life Cycles • Humans, Animals and Plants Interactions • Beneficial interactions • Harmful interactions
- 14. Grado 5 Living Thingsand their Environmental Parts and Functions • Humans - Stages of growth - Parts of the reproductive system – - Development of secondary sex characteristics Living Things and Their Environment - Menstrual cycle • Animals - Parts of the reproductive system of representative groups of animals and their functions Differences in the modes of reproduction: external fertilization, internal fertilization Birds (ducks) Fishes (tilapia) Toads/Frogs Crustaceans (crabs and shrimps) Dragonflies and butterflies Protecting habitats of animals • Plants - Flowering plants (rice/corn, peachy, mongo) - Non-flowering plants (cone-bearing, ferns, liverworts) - Protecting habitats of plants Interactions among Living Things
- 15. Grade 6 Living Thingsand their Environment Parts and Functions • Human Body System – Musculoskeletal – Digestive System – Circular System – Nervous System • Animals – Characteristic of vertebrates and invertebrates – Economic Importance of vertebrates and invertebrates in the community – Rare animals in the community – Protecting and caring animals • Plants – Parts of spore – Life cycle of ferns and mosses – Vegetative plant propagation • Interactions – Physical condition of tropical rainforest, coral reefs and mangrove swamps – Plants and animals living in the ecosystems – Feeding relationship in these ecosystems – Protecting and conserving tropical forest ecosystems – Separating mixture
