SCIENCE 5 /QUARTER 1/ GRADE 5

I. CURRICULUM CONTENT, STANDARDS, AND LESSON COMPETENCIES

A. Content The learners learn that:

Standards 1) Scientists identify three states of matter based on shape and volume.
2) Temperature can cause changes of state.
3) Planned simple scientific investigations require several steps and processes.
4) An understanding of matter can be applied to solve real world problems.

B. Performance By the end of the quarter, learners describe three states of matter based on properties of shape and volume and
Standards identify heat as being involved in changes of state. They plan a simple scientific investigation following appropriate
steps and using units such as milliliters, liters, grams, kilograms, and degrees Celsius for measuring.

C. Learning Learning Competency: The learners identify and appropriately use units in simple science activities, such as
Competencies milligrams (mg,) grams (g), kilograms (kg), and degrees centigrade ( oC).
and
Objectives Lesson Objectives:
The learners will be able to:
1. identify some units used for mass and temperature;
2. use appropriate units in simple science activities; and
3. measure the mass and temperature using a weighing scale and thermometer.

D. Content Use units in simple science activities

1. Milligrams (mg), grams (g), and kilograms (kg) for mass
2. Degrees centigrade (oC) for temperature

E. Integration Safety: When conducting experiments even with common materials, precaution and safety procedures must still be
followed.
Accountability and Responsibility: Learners should understand that different materials can be beneficial if use in the
right and proper way and can be harmful if used otherwise.

capsules with 200-500 milligrams.

Objects with masses beyond 1000 grams are often expressed in

kilograms. For example, buying 1 cement bag weighing 40 kg instead of
expressing it as 40,000 grams.

Exercise: Answers:
Identify which unit of measuring mass is used in the following items: 1. grams
1. Pencil 2. kilogram

2. Fruit of Basket

However, comparing two objects can only be valid when they

have similar units.
Now, how do we convert the units into the appropriate one?

One (1) kilogram is equivalent to one thousand (1000) grams.

Example: 1 kg of rice = 1,000 g This may be hard with the
(1 x 1000 = 1000 grams) mathematics integration.
Please add more samples if
1500 g = 1.5 kg needed.
(1500 grams / 1000 = 1.5 kg)

Exercise:
1. How many grams (g) is one (1) sack of rice which is equivalent to

6
 approximately 50 kilograms?

Answer:
One (1) milligram is equivalent to one thousandth (1/1000) gram. 1. 50 x 1000 = 50,000 grams
Example: 4 mg (4/1000) = 0.004 gram 50 kg = 50,000 grams
5 grams = 5000 mg

These units are used under the metric system.

Degree Celsius (oC), a type of a centigrade (centi = 100, grade =

gradients) scale, is a unit of measuring temperature, along with degrees
Fahrenheit (oF) and Kelvin (K).

Example: The boiling point of water is at 100 degrees Celsius (100
