Grade 5 Science Q4 - Earth and Space
-featured.png)
This course guides upper-primary learners through Philippine landscapes, rocks and soils, weathering and erosion, the water cycle, tropical cyclones and PAGASA signals, and the solar system. Using observation, classification, simple experiments and models, students will explain natural processes, practise hazard awareness and safety, and develop scientific thinking grounded in local contexts.

What you'll learn
- Identify and describe major local landforms and bodies of water (like mountains, rivers, and coastlines) and explain how they affect the living and non-living things in that area.
- Observe, describe, and classify common rocks based on their physical features (texture, color, and grain crystal size) and explain the basic process of how soil is formed from the breakdown of rocks and minerals.
- Demonstrate and explain the difference between weathering (breaking down of rocks) and erosion (transporting of materials) and describe how these processes continuously reshape the Earth's surface.
- Explain the continuous movement of water through the Water Cycle (evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and transportation) and construct a simple model to communicate its key processes.
- Describe the typical weather conditions (low pressure, strong winds) before, during, and after a tropical cyclone, and describe the weather according to the Public Storm Warning Signals (PSWS) issued by PAGASA.
- Describe the general structure of the solar system, identify the major celestial objects and their main features, and use drawings or a simple model to explain the phases of the moon.
