GRADE 5 Science Quarter 1 WEEK 3

The document discusses changes that occur in materials in the presence or absence of oxygen. It provides examples like combustion, which requires oxygen, fuel, and heat. Rusting of iron occurs in the presence of oxygen and moisture. The inner flesh of fruits like eggplants and apples changes color upon exposure to oxygen. The fish kill was likely due to an overpopulated pond with low oxygen levels.

CONTENT STANDARDS:
Materials undergo changes due to oxygen and heat
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS:
Uses local, recyclable solid and/or liquid materials in making useful products
MELC’S:
Investigate changes that happen in materials under the following conditions:
 1 presence or lack of oxygen
OBJECTIVE:
 Identify the changes in materials undergo
 Investigate the changes that happen in the materials under presence of oxygen

TITLE: Changes in Matter in the Presence or Absence of Oxygen

CONCEPT:

Oxygen forms stable chemical bonds with almost all elements to give the corresponding oxide.
Oxygen is a very reactive gas. It has the ability to combine with many materials to form oxides but when
it combines with a non-metal, it produces a non-metallic oxide.
The presence or absence of oxygen has various effects on matter. Among these are combustion
and rusting. Changes in matter may happen when oxygen is removed or added to it

Have you observed your mother slicing an eggplant? What was of the color of the eggplant
while it was being sliced. What was its color after a few minutes? Were there any changes in the color?
Did it turn brown after slicing?

The changes in the color of the inner fleshy part of the eggplant is due to its exposure to oxygen.

Another example of a change in materials when oxygen is present is in combustion. Combustion


is also known as burning. It occurs when oxygen combines with another substance (as fuel) and
produces fire with heat and light. In combustion, oxygen, fuel, and heat are always present.
If oxygen is present in a wet material with iron, such as a nail or steel bar, the formation of rust
occurs. It only happens when iron, oxygen, and water react with one another. Rust occurs when iron or
alloys such as steel corrode, thus rusting is commonly known as iron or steel corrosion.

Activity 1: “Fire Out”

Have you seen a fire or flame? If not, observe the fire in the picture below.

• How does fire start?

_____________________________________________________________________________________

• Will fire continue its flame in the absence of oxygen?

_____________________________________________________________________________________

• Suppose we will cover it with a basin, what do you think will happen to the fire?

_____________________________________________________________________________________

• What are the three important things needed for combustion to occur?

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Activity 2: “Fish Kill”


A fishpond owner reported that there had been a fish kill in the pond. The fisheries bureau
investigated the incident, only to find out that the fishpond was overly populated.

• What could be the cause of the fish kill?

_____________________________________________________________________________________

• What is needed in the overpopulated pond?
