Lesson 57: Soil: Its Types and Characteristics

LESSON GUIDE
Types of Soil Common Characteristics

1. Clay Particles are packed together tightly. It is sticky when
wet and has the finest texture.
2. Loam It is a mixture of sand and clay. It contains large
amount of decaying plants and animals. It has a fine
texture. It can hold enough water and oxygen.
3. Sand Particles are coarse and loose. It cannot hold water well.
Layers of Soil Description

1. Topsoil (A-Horizon) The uppermost layer of the soil. Rich in organic
materials called humus and with minerals
needed for plant growth.
2. Sub-soil (B-Horizon) It is composed of loosely arranged rocks, sand
and clay. It is rich with minerals that drain from
the top soil. However, subsoil alone cannot
support plant life.
3. Parent Rock It is composed of rocks that are slowly breaking
apart. It does not contain necessary nutrients
and water needed for plant growth.
4. Bedrock (D-Horizon) The lowest layer of the soil. It is made up of
undisturbed large boulders and gravel. It
contains materials good for constructing
3
buildings and making roads. No plant can

survive this layer.
Humus- it comes from decaying plants and animals.

Lesson 62: Using Weather Instruments

LESSON GUIDE
Weather Instruments
1. Thermometer- used to measure temperature. It contains, Celsius or

Fahrenheit scale or both. The highest number is 100 and the lowest is 0.
It is written as 1000 C and read as one hundred degree Celsius. Or, written
as 1000F and read as 100 degree Fahrenheit.
Kinds of Thermometer
a. Clinical thermometer
b. Room thermometer
c. Scientific thermometer
Temperature varies. It is usually affected by the angle at which the sun’s rays
strike the surface affects the temperature of a place. Places near the equator
have high temperature because they receive direct rays from the sun.
The time of day affects the temperature. It is usually hot at noon and cool in the
morning and evening.
The time of year also affects the temperature. In the northern hemisphere,
summer days hot. This is because the hours of sunshine are longer and the sun’s
15
rays hit the northern hemisphere more directly. So, more light energy is received
and changed into heat.
Weather conditions affect temperature. If the weather is fine, the temperature is
high, this means that it is warm. If the weather is stormy, the temperature is low
or it is cool.
2. Wind Vane- this is the instrument that tells where the wind is coming
from and where it is going. The arrow head points to where the wind is
from. The arrow tail tells where the wind is going. Example, if the arrow
head points North, the wind is from the North and the wind is going to the
opposite direction which is the South.
Primary Direction Secondary Direction

N- North NE- North-East
E- East SE- South-East
S-South SW-South-West
W- West NW- North-West
3. Anemometer- it is an instrument that measures the speed of wind. The
faster the cups of the anemometer moves, the stronger the wind. The speed
of wind is measure as kilometers per hour or kph.
16
4. Wind sock- an instrument that can show both the wind speed and
direction. The sock rotates on a pole and shows the direction of wind. If
the sock is blowing straight out, it shows that the wind is strong. If the
sock is limp, there is a very light wind.
Wind is a moving air caused by the unequal heating of the earth’s surface. When
air is heated, it rises and its density decreases and form a low pressure.

Lesson 66: The Importance of Sun’s Heat and

Light
LESSON GUIDE
The sun is the center of the solar system. It is

the closes star nearest our planet. Revolving around it are the planets such
as our planet Earth. The sun is the main source of heat and light. It is made
up of very hot gases. The sun’s surface is about 5,0000C and its temperature
at the core is about 15,000,000 0C.
The sun’s heat and light reaches the earth through radiation. People, plants,
and animals benefit from the heat of the sun.
1. Plants need sunlight in making their food. This process is called

photosynthesis.
2. Sunlight heats up the earth and thus affects the changes in temperature.

Lesson 67: Light and Shadow

LESSON GUIDE
Shadow is a dark area formed when straight light rays are blocked by opaque
objects. Shadows are formed when light strikes on opaque objects.
Shadows “move” or change position during the day because of the position of
the sun.
The length of the shadows vary during the day. In the morning, the light rays
are slanted, so the shadow is long. At noon, when the sun is directly above,
28
the shadow is very short. Therefore, the changes in position and length of
shadow depend on the angle at which the sunlight strikes the object to the
ground.
Exercise 1
Direction: Do this activity outside. Describe the length of your shadow at
different times of the day for three day.

Lesson 68: The Role of the Sun in the Water

Cycle
LESSON GUIDE
The sun plays a major role in the water cycle. It heats up the bodies of water
covering the earth. When bodies of water are heated, evaporation occurs.
Evaporation is the change of liquid to water vapor.
The water vapor condenses as it reaches the atmosphere and mixes with
other water vapor. They then fall as precipitate like rain, hail, snow. Such
process is called precipitation.
Water cycle is a continuous process of changing liquid water into water vapor
when heated and back to liquid water when cooled.
Exercise 1
Direction: Find five words related to water cycle. They start with the following.
S H M T G V U O U D E H M 1. S_______________

4. Drying of meat and crops.
Beneficial Effects if Ultra Violet (UV) Rays

1. Helps in some skin condition like psoriasis
Psoriasis- the skin sheds its cells too quickly
2. Helps moods- sunlight stimulates the pineal gland in the brain to produce
certain chemical called tryptamines that improves our mood
3. Helps some animals’ vision
4. Aids some insect navigation
5. Useful for disinfection and sterilization- it can kill or deactivate
microorganisms such as viruses and bacteria
Harmful Effects of UV
1. It causes sunburn and skin cancer
Kinds of Skin Cancer

c. Melanoma
2. Visual impairment- caused by directly looking at the sun

3. Heat stroke
4. Plants wilt and dry when exposed to too much sunlight.
5. Too much exposure to UV can cause damage to the immune system
6. Premature aging- UV speeds us the aging of skin because it destroys
collagen and connective tissues beneath the top later of the skin that
causes wrinkles, brown “liver” spots and loss of skin elasticity
