C. Presenting examples/ instances of the new lesson
Did you enjoy the game class? Yes, we are teacher!
Okay that is great my dearest pupils.
Can you remember what the earth is made of?
The earth has landforms and water forms. The land The Earth has landforms and water forms
is where your house and building stand. It is where
plants grow. It is where you can find roads, parks,
and playgrounds. The land is made up of rocks and
soils. Beneath the soil are the rocks.
The soil is the loose material found on the surface
of the earth. It is made up of clay, sand, broken
pieces of rocks and decayed plants and animals.soil
also contains water and some gases. Plants grom in
the soil. Some animals live in the soil.
I have here a song and we’re going to sing it
together.
Listen to me first to know the tune of this song and Understood teacher!
later we’re going to sing along together.
(The pupils will sing a long.)
(The teacher will sing a song about SOIL)

D.Discussing new concepts and practicing

new skills #1
Class I have hear a different kinds of soil here. The
sand, clay, silt and loam.
We will identify the characteristic of different
kinds of soil.
We’re going to have a group activity.
I’ll divide you into four. (The teacher will divided the class into four)

different types of soil that you have on your
activity and the composition of the soil particles.
I want you to watch it quietly until the end, okay? Yes teacher!
(The teacher will play the video.)
Class upon watching the video clip, do you think
your answers on your activity a while ago were all Yes teacher, we are absolutely all right!
correct?
That was great!
Class teacher done the experiment that you have
seen on the video.
Here it is.
As you can see I have here a bottle of water with a
soil inside.
It takes 1 day class for this experiment to see the
result that is why we did not do it today and I only
provided you a video about this.
But don’t worry because you can do it in your We’re going to do it once we go home teacher.

were a bottle of water and soil and you only need to (Pupils will follow.)
wait for 1 day to see the real profile of the different
kinds of soil.
Class I want you to look this bottle of water with
the soil inside.
As what I have said earlier soil is the loose material Teacher, I see that the heavy particles are on the

Class upon seeing this bottle of water with the soil, the soil are in the top of the soil.
what can you say about the soil particles inside it?
Yes Mike.

Very good Mike, you are correct!

Who among you live near the sea? The sand made up of fine particles of rocks.
We noticed that the soil on the beach is sandy.
Sometimes you play with the soil on the beach.
You make sand castles or covered your body with Here it is teacher at the bottom part.
the sand. Sand is made up of fine particles of rocks.
What is the sand made of?

Very good!
Look at this bottle, where do you find the sand?
That is right.
Have you ever watched on television how ceramic
articles like plates, jars, vases, tiles and pots are Yes/No Teacher.
made?
Ceramic articles are made up of clay. Clay is made
up of very fine particles of rocks. The characteristic
that makes best in ceramic making is its stickiness,
which makes it easy to mold. Dry clay is hard but
sticky when wet. Clay is not a good soil for plants,
it tends to pack together, leaving no room for air or The characteristic of clay is sticky.

What is the characteristic of clay? Teacher the clay is below the water on the top,
because you said earlier that clay traps the water
Who among you can point out in this bottle where that is why there is no water at the bottom part of

Good job!
When the water recedes after a flood, the soil that
settles or deposits on the ground is silt. Silt is made
up of fine particles that are usually carried away by
rainwater into a river or sea. Silt particles are Yes teacher!
smaller than sand but bigger than clay.
Did you understand class?
Who among you have a garden in the house? What
have you seen on the flower pot?
We use loam soil. Loam soil is a mixture of silt,
clay, sand and humus. Humus comes from the
decayed plants and animals. It is a part of the soil
that makes it fertile. Fertile soil makes plants grow
healthy. Humus makes the soil dark. Sometimes the
color of the loam is brown or orange brown. Loam
can best absorb the minerals and nutrients that Yes teacher.
plants need. Loam also holds just the right amount
of water that plants need.
Did you understand my dear pupils?

Developing Mastery (Leads to Formative Assessment 3)

Go back to your proper seats.
This time your groupings will be based on you
rows.
You will be graded according to the given rubrics.
Ask the students to read the rubrics.
RUBRICS:
CONTENT: Give the accurate information on the
topic and cover the questions given to them.
PRESENTATION: The students make an effort in
presenting their work
TEAMWORK: Each member of the group is

characteristics and the use of this kind of soil.
Group 2. Rearrange the cut pictures, and explain
the characteristics and the use of this kind of soil.
Group 3. Rearrange the cut pictures and explain the
characteristics and the use of this kind of soil.
Group 4. Rearrange the cut pictures and explain the
characteristics and the use of this kind of soil.

Kindly go through your respective groups.

Pupils will go to their groups and begin their

collaboration.
Group 1 post your output and choose one
representative to explain your work.  Insandy soil, particles are light in weight. It can’t
hold water and nutrients. They can easily be
drained.
Sand is used in building house and can use in

front.  Insilty soil, particles hold water; can be hard to
drain, and hold limited nutrients.
Silt may use in gardening and may also use in
That is absolutely correct! construction.
Let as have the Group 3. Clay particles hold water well, can become heavy
and water logged and can hold onto nutrients.
Clay is best used in making ceramic articles like
plates, jars, vases, tiles and pots.
Okay job well done!
And we’re down to the last group. Loam soil is a mixture of silt, clay and sand. The
color of it is brown or orange brown.
It absorb the minerals and nutrients that plants need
that is why it is very good to use in gardening.
That is perfectly right!
It seems that you really understand the types of the
soil.
G. Finding practical application of concepts and skills in daily living
Class did you agree that soil is important to us?
Okay, class I have a video clip here and I want you Yes teacher, soil is important.
to watch it in order to know why the soil is
important to us.
I want you to watch it quietly. (Video clip)

Guide question:
1. What is the importance of soil? Soil lets plants grow, allows gas exchanges to
happen between the land and air, provides habitat
for most of the organisms on Earth, holds and
cleans water, recycles nutrients, and is used for
Very good! constructing structures like buildings and roadbeds.
H. Making generalizations and abstraction about the lesson
Again class, what is soil? The soil is the loose material found on the surface
Very good! of the earth.
What are the four types of soil?
The four types of soil are clay, silt, sand and loam.
That is right!
What are the characteristics of the four types of
soil? Sand has light particles. It can’t hold water and
nutrients. They can easily be drained.
Silt has particles that hold water; can be hard to
drain, and hold limited nutrients.
Clay particles hold water well, can become heavy
and water logged and can hold onto nutrients.
Loam soil is a mixture of silt, clay and sand. The
Very well said! color of it is brown or orange brown.
And again is the importance of soil?
