2) What is soil?
3) How is soil formed?
4) Why do plants grow in soils?
5) What is soil quality?
6) What is healthy soil?

8) How can we protect soils?
C. EXPLANATION Types of Soil and it’s Characteristics
The Earth is composed of three parts namely: soil, water and air with the interaction of
the sun as the main source of energy on earth. Soil is a very important natural resource
on earth made up of tiny particles of rocks and decayed plants and animals. It also
contains water and some gases found at the uppermost layer.
Soil covers most of the land part of earth. You find plants, animals, and other organisms
on the soil. We live on the soil and it helps us in many ways. Different types of soil have
different physical characteristics. Each soil type differs in color, texture, odor and its
ability to hold water. Some soils are good for planting while others are not. The
presence of the different kinds of vegetative plants in a place is an evidence of a good
quality
of soil in the area or locality. Sometimes a combination of soil is observed in some areas
of the country.Soil has different types; clay, loam and sand. 1)Clay is a soil with
particles packed together. It is sticky when wet and has the finest texture. 2) Loam is a
mixture of sand and clay. It contains large amount of decaying plants and animals. It has
a fine texture. 3) Sand is a soil with coarse and loose particles.
D. ELABORATION
Exercise 1 Title: “Can You Identify Me?”
Materials:
Soil samples (loam, clay, sand)
3 plastic cups of the same size, shape and color (or any cups available in your house)
3 popsicle sticks or any alternative
3 plastic spoons
3 sheets of used bond paper
hand shovel/ trowel
permanent marker
a pair of gloves (if not available, bare hands will do but be sure to wash your hands
thoroughly after the experiment)
Procedures:
(Note: Handle the materials with care especially the sharp objects)
Reminder: Ask the assistance of adult members in your family to collect 3 samples of soil in
your community.
1. Place each sample of soils on separate cups/containers.
2. Label each sample with A, B and C.
3. Scoop at least two tablespoons of soil from each sample
4. Place each sample on a separate bond paper.
5. Look closer to each sample and use the popsicle sticks to observe each.
6. Write your observations using the table below.
Exercise 2
What Grows Best?
Bring in different kinds of soil for your students. (But because of the pandemic show the video
lesson instead showing in the video------- get topsoil, clay soil, and sandy soil (or even sand).
You can get these soils from a nursery or gardening store. Have students plant seeds in each kind
of soil and observe how they grow. Which soil is best for plants? Which soil is worst? If possible,
try experimenting with different seeds such as grasses, flowers, and vegetables. Different plants
grow best in different kinds of soil.
Exercise 3:
Soil Painting
Different soils vary in color and texture. Invite students to bring in a small amount of soil from their
yards or from places around their communities. Make sure they label where they got the soil. Divide
the students into small groups and have them compare and contrast the soil.
Why might one soil be darker than the other? What might make one soil reddish in color? Where in
the community might you find drier soil or sand? Have students discuss and write down their ideas.
Then have students create soil paintings. They can use glue and their soil samples to create
landscapes, abstract paintings, or even portraits. Encourage them to be creative! Then have students
share their artwork with the whole class.
(Performed at home but presented via online)
*Out puts will be retrieved by the teacher on the assigned schedule at school.
