This reviewer covers the DepEd MELC-aligned Grade 5 Science competencies. Read each section, study the tables, and remember the exam hacks.
Matter: Properties and Mixtures
Materials are grouped by their ability to absorb water, float or sink, and decay. Mixtures are combinations that can be separated by physical means.
| Method | Used for |
|---|---|
| Filtering | Solid from liquid |
| Evaporation | Dissolved solid from liquid |
| Decantation | Heavier solid settles, pour off liquid |
| Magnetism | Magnetic from non-magnetic |
The Human Body and Animals
Learn how the major organ systems work — digestive, respiratory, circulatory, and musculo-skeletal — and how animals reproduce and adapt.
Force, Motion, and Energy
Forces such as friction and gravity affect motion. Energy transforms from one form to another — for example, electrical energy to light and heat in a bulb.
Friction slows things down and produces heat. It is helpful (walking, brakes) but can also cause wear.
Earth and Space
Understand weather patterns, the water cycle, and the movements of the Earth, Sun, and Moon that cause day and night and the phases of the Moon.
