B. Developmental Activities

1. Review
What did we learn yesterday,
class?
Yes, Grace
We learn about grouping the materials
according to their state, such as solid, liquid,
and gas. Ma’am!

Great memory Ivan.

2. Motivation (English integration,

reading)
Now class, I will read one story and I
want you to listen carefully and list
down some materials mentioned that One day, Michael’s mother was cleaning a
has been mentioned on the story. floor. Suddenly Michael accidentally spilled
his milk on the table, and the table cloth got
wet. His mother told him not to worry
because the table cloth can absorb water, that
is why it is wet. Then she told him to look
around the kitchen to see if there’s anything
 else to use to wipe the spilled milk. Michael
told himself that the plate can’t absorb water,
but the sponge can, the floor can’t absorb
water, but the mop can, the fork, spoon, mug,
and pan can’t absorb water, but the rugs can.
Suddenly it started it started to rain. The
window was open and the curtain absorbs the
rain. Michael’s mother asks him to shut the
window.
What are the objects mentioned
on the story a while ago?
Mop, curtain, spoon, mug, pan plate, sponge,
pan, floor, rugs, table cloth,

3. Presentation

Alright, so I have here a chart and

all the pictures of the things that
has mentioned on the story a
while ago. I want you to classify
them accordingly to the materials
that absorb water and which
materials doesn’t, is it clear
children?
Materials that Materials
absorb water. which doesn’t
absorb water.

Alright who wants to volunteer to

come in front and do the first
one?

4. Setting of Standards

Before we proceed, what must

good boys and good girls do
when the teacher is talking?
Yes, Madonna Sit properly, listen carefully, keep quiet and
raise your hand if you want to recite!

Very good!
Can I expect all of that from you
class? Yes, you can, ma’am!

5. Discussion

Now, look at I have here the materials in

front.
( name the materials one by one).

What if I place this sponge in a basin

with water? Ma’am the water went through the object
Observe what happen.

Okay, the object absorbs the water.

Children, aside from grouping the

materials into solid and gas, they can also
be grouped based on their ability to
absorb water.

Let us discuss about the materials that

absorb water and which does not and
how we call them. Now, let us see
further on, I want you to observe
carefully. May I call on Nerrie to please (Nerrie will come in front and do the activity)
come in front and soak this cotton in the
water.
Yes ma’am

Did the cotton absorb water children?

As you can see the cotton absorbs the

water, that is what we call “Porous”.
Based from the activity, how do you Porous materials- having small holes that

the meaning of porous materials.

Because cotton have tiny holes that allow

liquid pass through or which make it a Yes, Ma’am!
natural absorber of water. Did you
understand children?

Again, what do we call the materials that Porous materials, Ma’am!

absorb water?
Yes, Hendrick
(Selga will come in front and do the activity.)
Very good.
Next may I call on Selga, to please come
in front and soak this plastic bottle The plastic didn’t absorb the water. Ma’am!

Now, what did you observed?

Great observation Sherly.

If a material don’t allow air and liquid Non-porous materials- materials that do not
pass through we call it non-poruos. allow air or liquid to pass through.
Please read the meaning of Non- porous
materials.

(Give other materials that can be (Let the learners engage in soaking materials
classified porous and non-porous in the water.)
materials.Such as: tissue paper, ping-
pong ball, rugs, sponge, face towel.)

Who want to soak the tissue paper in the

water and tell if it is “porous” or “non-
porous”. Yes ma’am
Yes, Crizanne

What do you observe?

Does the tissue absorb the water?
The tissue paper is considered porous because
Very good! it absorbs water. Ma’am
Again class, where does tissue categorize
 “Porous” or “Non-porous”?

Very good!!
(Other examples are to be presented
same way on the first procedure) Porous materials having holes that allow air
or liquid to pass through.
Now children, who can give me the
definition of “porous” again?
Yes, lovelier
Cotton. Ma’am!

Very good! Who can give me an

example of porous?
Non-porous materials do not allow air or

liquid pass through.
Very good! Who can give me the
definition of non-porous?
Yes, Shirley. Ping-pong ball. Ma’am!

Very good! Who can give me an

example of non-porous?
Yes, Selga Yes, we are, ma’am!

Very good!
It seems that you understood our lesson Yes Ma’am.
for today. Are you ready to have some
activity children?

Do you want some more activities

children?

6. Group activity
I will group you into 2 groups,
this will be the group 1 and this
will be the group II. Each group
should have their leader,
secretary, observer and reporter,
as they determine by wearing
their head dress (show the head Yes mam.
dress). If you have any question,
just raise the help sign and if
you’re done, bring your output in
front and the reporter should be
ready in presenting your work.
Did you understand children?
