LEARNERS ACTIVITY SHEET (LAS)
Dear Learner,
Good Day!
Welcome to our Science subject. The activities for this week will enable you to classify
materials based on the ability to absorb water, to float, to sink, and to
undergo decay. Please carefully understand and follow the instructions provided. If you
encounter difficulties in doing the tasks, do not hesitate to ask for support from your parents
or anyone whom you think can help you do the activities. You can ask me via SMS or call
________________, Always bear in mind that YOU ARE NOT ALONE. Most importantly,
be free and creative in doing the activities. I hope you will experience meaningful learning
and gain a deep understanding of the relevant competencies amidst the COVID-19
pandemic. You can do it! Stay safe! Stay learning! God Bless.
Sincerely,
Your Teacher
Materials that Absorb Water, Float,

Sink, and Undergo Decay
Classify household materials that absorb water or not
Reminder: Some of the materials may be harmful or dangerous.

Please ask for assistance from your elders in
performing the activities.
Directions: Follow the given steps below.
Step 1. Put the materials one by one on the basin of water.

Step 2. Lift the material and squeeze.
Step 3. Record your observations in the table provided.
Step 4. Do the same for each material.
What happened when Draw a triangle if the
Materials you squeezed the material absorbs water or
material? circle if it does not.
1. cotton balls
2. bath towel
3. rubber ball
4. rug
5. sponge
6. t-shirt
7. tissue paper
8. rubber slipper
9. cellophane
10. paper
Identify the materials that float and sink
Directions: Below is a list of materials that may float or sink in water. In a

small basin filled with water, slowly drop each of the material into the basin one at
a time. Fill out the table below by making a check mark (/) to the materials that float
and (X) mark to the materials that sink.
Materials Floats Sinks Materials Floats Sinks
1. stone 2. crumpled foil

9. plastic cup 10. 1-peso coin

Identify the materials that undergo decay
Directions: Put a check mark ( ) if the material will undergo decay and mark ( ) if
not.

1. Banana 2. hollow block
3. ax 4. meat
5. cellophane 6. G.I. Sheets
7. leftover food 8. chocolate
9. rotten mango 10. shell

Guide Questions (Analysis)
1. Did all the materials absorb water? Support your answer. (Activity 1A)
2. Why did the other materials sink? Why others did not? (Activity 1B)
3. What are those materials that undergo decay and those that are not?
Describe each? (Activity 1C)
Read the selection carefully. (Abstraction)
The materials that we see around us exist in different forms: solids, liquids,
or gases. Like other materials, solids have different characteristics/properties such
as size, shape, color, odor, texture, and others.
There are different materials in our environment that can be classified
according to their properties.
A. They can be classified based on their ability to absorb water. Some materials
can absorb water more than others.
Absorb means to take in (something, such as liquid) in a natural or gradual

way.
Porous materials are those having small holes that allow air or liquid to pass
through.
Cotton is a very porous material, it is a natural absorber of water.
Non-porous materials that do not allow air or liquid to pass through.

Plastic is a non-porous material, water do not pass through it.
B. Some things float on top of water, some things stay submerged partway
down, and some things sink. Some things sink very fast while others sink
very slowly. An object’s shape can affect its ability to float, but some
materials float regardless of their shapes. Some things float at first, but then
sink as they absorb water or take water on through holes.
Sink means to fall to the bottom of the water.

Float means to stay on the top.
C. Some materials undergo decay. Decay means to be slowly destroyed into

bits in the presence of water, air and soil. Not all plants and animals decay
at the same time. Some were compressed under water and thick layers of the
soil over millions of years. They are converted into fossil fuels such as coal,
oil or natural gas. These fuels are used by power stations, factories, motor
vehicles and others.
Remember!
Pollution – is the action or process of making land, water, and air dirty and not
safe or suitable to use.
Land Air Water
Biodegradable – capable of being slowly destroyed and broken down into very
small parts by natural process
 To dispose the materials properly, use a technique or procedure we call the
Total Recycling Scheme which utilizes wastes into factory returnable,
fertilizers, feeds, fermentable, fuel, fine crafts and filling materials. These are
what we identify as then multi-F’s Recycling Scheme.
 Recycling is collecting, processing and

manufacturing materials instead of throwing
them away. Recycling lessen the amount of
garbage we have to dispose.
Read the statement below and answer the question carefully. Encircle the
letter of the correct answer.
1. A glass of water spilled on the table. What are you going to use if you want to
wipe dry the table?
a. cellophane c. rubber band
b. plastic mat d. rug
2. During rainy days, what kind of material are you going to use to prevent you
from getting wet?
a. cap c. plastic raincoat
b. jacket d. towel
3. Why do some people use floaters (salbabida) when swimming?

a. It helps them swim faster.
b. It keeps them afloat in water.
c. It will look good on them.
d. It makes them heavier in water.
4. Why do life vests keep you afloat in the sea?

a. It makes you occupy a smaller space.
b. It is made up of porous materials.
c. It is made up of light materials.
d. It is made up of heavy materials.
5. Mother kept the leftover food in the refrigerator. Why do you think so?
a. Left over foods are kept in refrigerator to avoid decaying fast.
b. Left over foods are kept in refrigerator to make it fresh.
c. Left over foods are kept in refrigerator to protect it from cats.
d. Left over foods are kept in refrigerator to make it cool.
Fill the columns below by answering the following questions.
