Science Works! 1

Carla, Nilo, Alice, and Ben are good friends. They live in
the same neighborhood. They love to do things together. On
a fine day, they play at the park with other children. Their
favorite games are hide-and-seek and piko.
Carla, Nilo,
Alice, and Ben are
classmates, too.
At school, they
draw, write, sing,
and dance together
with their other
classmates.
Carla, Nilo,
Alice, and Ben can
do many things
every day. What
helps them do
different activities? Can you do the things that they can do?
What other activities do you do every day?
Children like you can do many things with their body
parts. What are these body parts?
Your body is divided into three big groups. These are the
head, trunk, and limbs.
What are the parts of your head?
Look at yourself in front of a mirror. The top part of your
body is the head. Your hair grows from the top of your head.
The uppermost part of your face is your forehead. Below your
forehead are your eyebrows, eyes, and eyelashes.

The Body You Are Gifted With

At the center of your face is your nose. On opposite sides,
beside your nose, are your cheeks. Below the nose you can
find your mouth, lips, and chin. Your teeth and tongue are
inside your mouth. Your ears are on the left and right sides of
your head.

3. The body part that lets
you see things in your
surroundings

questions:
1. What are the five sense organs?
2. How do the parts of your body work together?
3. How do these parts help you in doing your work?


Ben, Alice, Carla, and Nilo love to play different kinds of
games.
Ben and Nilo love to play basketball. Ben can throw the
ball with full strength. Nilo can easily catch it with his hands.
Carla and Alice like to play jump rope. Both
of them can jump high.
Ben, Alice, Carla,
and Nilo use their
sense organs when
they play. Their
different body parts
let them do many
activities, too.
You have five
sense organs. These
are your ears, eyes,
nose, skin, and
tongue. These organs
help you know and
describe the things
around you. Your ears let you hear soft and loud sounds. Your
eyes let you see the trees, flowers, clouds, and animals. Your
nose helps you smell the odors around you like the fragrant
sampaguita flowers in the park or the delicious adobo in the
kitchen. Your tongue lets you taste food. Your skin helps
you touch or feel objects. You can tell if an object is smooth,
rough, soft, or hard because of your skin.

Incredible Facts
When a part of the body such as the leg is badly damaged
because of an accident or a disease, doctors may replace it with
an artificial one. Doctors use strong plastic and light metal to
replace a damaged leg.

Aside from your senses, your other body parts also work
to help you do your daily activities. Your body parts work
together to let you do many things. Your hands and arms help
you move objects from one place to another. Your legs and
feet help you move around by walking and running. Your
eyes and hands let you read and hold a book. Can you think
of other activities that you can do with the help of your body
parts?

What Will Happen If I Lose My Sight?
Objective: Identify the body parts that can be used when
one body part cannot be used.
Materials: handkerchief, basketball, pair of cymbals,
drum, whistle, xylophone
Procedure:
1. Form a group with six members. Your teacher will
assign an object (a basketball, a pair of cymbals, a
drum, a whistle, or a xylophone) to one member of
your group. This member will serve as your team
leader.


2. The rest of the members of the group will be
blindfolded using a handkerchief. The blindfolded
members will be guided by your teacher to an area
in the classroom. (You may also do this activity in the
gym with your teacher’s guidance.) The team leaders
with the different objects will be assigned to different
places in the classroom.
3. On your teacher’s signal, the team leaders will
produce sounds using the objects given to them. The
blindfolded members must then look for their own
group as they hear the sounds.
4. The first group that can regroup at the shortest time
will be the winner.
Questions:
1. How did you feel when you were blindfolded?
2. What senses did you use to look for your group?
3. How did you feel when you finally found your
group?
4. For the team leader: What body parts did you use
when you made sounds using the object given to you?

English
Helen Keller was a brave American woman who was able to
achieve success despite being blind and deaf. Helen was able
to read with the help of her teacher, Anne Sullivan. She received

sickness. The food you eat gives you nutrients and energy that
your body needs. The water you drink can replace the water
you lost when you sweat and urinate.
After eating, you should always brush your teeth to keep
them healthy. Brush your teeth and tongue gently to remove
tiny bits of food left in between your teeth and the “bumps”
of your tongue.
You use different materials to clean your body. Are you
familiar with these cleaning materials? Can you tell for which
parts of the body these

questions:
1. Why is food important?
2. What does food do to the body?

Carla, Nilo, Ben, and Alice like to eat together. Carla’s
favorite food is spaghetti. Nilo likes to eat biko and suman.
Ben loves to eat carrot cake. Alice’s favorite food is tinola. All
of them like to eat vegetables and fruits, too.
Eating healthy foods will make your body healthy and
strong. It is important to choose the right foods in the right
amount and eat them on time.
The foods you eat can be grouped into three big groups
called go foods, grow foods, and glow foods.

Go foods give you the
energy to do your daily tasks.
These foods are also known as
the energy-giving foods. Some
examples of go foods are bread,
cereal, rice, and pasta.


Grow foods give your
body the nutrients it needs.
These foods are called the body-
building foods. Grow foods
include meat, fish, eggs, beans,
nuts, cheese, and milk.

Glow foods are also called
the body-regulating foods. The
vitamins and minerals from these
foods make your skin healthy.
These nutrients are present in
fruits and vegetables. How often
do you eat fruits and vegetables?

Here are some of the vitamins and minerals that are good
for the body:
1. Calcium – This makes bones and teeth strong. Milk
and cheese are rich in calcium.
2. Vitamin A – This keeps the eyes in good condition.
Carrots are an excellent source of vitamin A.
3. Vitamin E – This keeps the skin healthy. Vegetable
oil and peanut butter contain vitamin E.
4. Vitamin C – This makes the body’s defense system
strong to fight against sickness such as common cold
and influenza (flu). Oranges, calamansi, and other
citrus fruits contain vitamin C.

Children like you should eat a balanced meal. Eating a
balanced meal means that you must always eat meals that
contain the three basic food groups.
Eating a balanced meal makes your body healthy and
strong. It helps protect you from any disease or sickness.
To know what makes up a balanced meal, nutritionists
(people who are experts in nutrition) designed the food
pyramid. A food pyramid serves a guide for people to have a
balanced meal each day. Look at the food pyramid below.

Eat just enough. Fats, oil, and sugar

Eat moderately.
Meat, poultry, dried
beans, and nuts

Eat more. Vegetables and fruits

Eat most. Rice and
other cereals,
bread, and
rootcrops

Water: At least eight glasses a day

Food Pyramid

The foods found at the bottom of the food pyramid are
the foods that you should eat more often. These are bread,
cereal, rice, and pasta. The foods found at the top of the
pyramid are the foods that you should eat less often. These
foods are those that contain fats, oil, and sugar.

Proudly Pinoy
Pinakbet is a Filipino food. It is very nutritious because its

Lesson 5 You Need Air, Water, and Sunlight

Look for the given words in the puzzle. Encircle each word
that you will find.

question: Why does your body need clean air, safe water, and
enough sunlight?


It was a beautiful Saturday morning. Alice, Nilo, Carla,
and Ben went to the park. Nilo and Alice were running
around the park. Carla and Ben went up and down the slide.
After running, Alice and Nilo felt that they were
breathing really fast and feeling thirsty. So, they drank lots of
water.
Your body needs
clean and fresh air. Air
contains many different
gases. The gas needed
by your body is called
oxygen. Oxygen comes
from plants. The park
is one of the best places
to breathe in fresh and
clean air. There are
many trees and other
plants at the park. Can
you think of other places
where you can breathe in clean and fresh air?
Try holding your nose and stop breathing for 30 seconds.
Were you able to do it? How did you feel? What would
happen when a person’s supply of oxygen is cut off? Surely,
that person will pass out or worse, will die.
Breathing in dirty air is bad for your body. The air that
comes out from cars is dirty. It can make you sick. When you
are on the road and the air is thick with black or gray smoke
coming out of the cars, you should cover your nose with a
handkerchief.

Team Clean Air
Objective: Draw a picture that shows a way of keeping the
air clean.
Materials: short bond paper, crayons, pencil
Procedure:
1. Form a group with four members. Each member of
the group is assigned with a task.
Pupil A: Materials monitor – prepares the materials
needed for the drawing
Pupil B: Area monitor – sees to it that the work area
is kept clean and orderly
Pupil C: Peace-keeping monitor – makes sure that
the group is not noisy
Pupil D: Presenter – explains the drawing of the
group
2. Think of a simple way on how to keep the air clean.
3. Draw this way on a piece of bond paper. Make your
drawing neat and colorful.
4. Pupil D will present and explain the group’s drawing
to the class.
Aside from clean air, you also need safe drinking
water. Water refreshes your body. It washes away harmful
substances inside your body. You need to drink at least eight
glasses of water a day.


Sunlight is also needed by growing children like you.
Exposure to early morning sunlight helps the skin produce
vitamin D. This vitamin helps your bones to be strong.

• Clean and fresh air is needed by the body.
• Water refreshes the body.
• Sunlight helps the skin produce vitamin D, which makes
the bones strong.

Read the sentences carefully. Shade the happy face if the
sentence is correct.
1. Breathing in dirty air can make you healthy.

2. Keeping the air clean is important.

3. The air that comes out from cars is good for the body.

4. Sunlight helps the skin produce vitamin D.

5. Water washes away harmful substances in the body.

Lesson 6 Clothes for Your Protection

On the blank provided, write the correct vowel to
complete the name of the clothes you wear.

a e i o u

j __ ck __ t p __ nts p __ l __

questions:
1. How do clothes protect the body?
2. Why is it important to wear clean and proper clothes?

Carla is preparing for school. After she took a bath, she
felt the cold wind. Through the window, she saw that it is
raining outside. Her mother told her to put on her jacket
before she goes to school.


Wearing a jacket on a cold day can make
you feel warm. A jacket is just one of the
clothes you wear. Clothes are important.
Clothes are not only worn to make you look
good. They also protect your body from
harmful objects and the changing weather.
Wearing proper clothes keeps your body
safe.
There are different kinds of clothes that
you can wear. On a fine weather, it is best to
wear clothes made of thin fabric. These will
make you feel comfortable even if the day
gets hot. On a rainy day, you must wear thicker clothes such
as a jacket to protect your body from the cold wind.

One morning, Ben wakes up very happy. He had a good
night’s sleep and rest. Today is also his biking day with
Nilo. They will go to the park to bike. Biking is their form of
exercise.
Like Ben and Nilo, growing children like you need rest
and exercise.
After doing your activities, how do you feel? Whenever
you feel tired, it means that you have lost a large amount of
energy. To regain the lost energy, you need to rest. When you
rest, you give your muscles and the other parts of your body
a chance to relax, too. Resting helps keep the body in good
shape.
The best way to rest is by sleeping. A lot of things happen
in the body when you sleep. During sleep, your body grows.
It is also during this time that wounds and cuts heal faster.
Before going to sleep, make sure that your body is clean. Your
clothes should be clean and comfortable, too.
A child your age needs about 10 to 12 hours of sleep. If
you do not get enough sleep, you will feel tired and restless.
You will also find it hard to think clearly. There are times that
you can get sick because you lack sleep. People who do not
get enough sleep may suffer from dizziness, headache, and
muscle pains.
Have you experienced sleeping for a few minutes? It is
called a nap. A nap is a short sleep. It is also a good form of
rest.
