LESSON 6:OUR LANDFORMS LET’S DISCUSS We can see different landforms in the Philippines. Landforms are natural features of the earth. Let us look at some of them. PLAIN
A plain is a wide flat land. This vast land is often used for planting rice, crops, and trees. Many of our food come from plants, trees, and crops. We can also build houses and buildings on a plain. Most places in Bulacan, Pampanga, and Tarlac are plains. Young Ji International School/College
Page 20
PLATEAU
A plateau is a level land found in a high place. Plants and trees grow on a plateau. Some animals also live in this high land. The Bukidnon Plateau is an example of this landform. MOUNTAIN AND MOUNTAIN RANGE
A mountain is a very high landmass. Young Ji International School/College
Page 21
The Philippines has many mountains. Some examples of them are Mount Apo in Mindanao, Mount Arayat in Luzon, and mount Manunggal in Visayas. There are usually many tall trees in the mountains. Loggers cut trees for lumber. They also plant young trees to replace the ones that they cut. Lumber is used for constructing buildings and houses. We use lumber for making furniture like tables, chairs, and cabinets. Miners can get precious stones and minerals like gold from the mountains. A chain of mountains is called mountain range. The Sierra Madre is an example of a mountain range. It spans from Cagayan to Quezon Province. HILL
Young Ji International School/College
Page 22
A hill is smaller and lower than a mountain. Crops and fruit trees are planted on the hillsides. Some examples of crops are corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes. Farmers usually tend their cows, goats, and other farm animals on the hills. These animals eat grasses that grow there. The Chocolate Hills in Bohol is a famous example of this landform. VOLCANO
A volcano is a mountain with a hole on its top. This hole is called crater. Volcanoes may erupt. During an eruption, lava, hot rocks, and smoke come out of the volcano’s crater. Volcanologists are scientists who study volcanoes. They regularly check on the activities of a volcano. Young Ji International School/College
Page 23
When a volcano is about to erupt, people living near the area are advised to leave their houses. They have to transfer to safer places. Plants can be grown around a volcano. The soil near a volcano is rich in minerals. Volcanoes can make the soil fertile. VALLEY
A valley is a low and often flat land between hills and mountains. Some people live in valleys. Farmers can plant different crops here like garlic, onions, peanuts, turnips, sweet potatoes, and other root crops. They also plant rice and vegetables.
Young Ji International School/College
Page 24
Farm animals like ducks, hens, turkeys, and goats and are also raised in the valley. The Cagayan Valley is one of the famous valleys in the Philippines. ISLAND
An island is a piece of land surrounded by water. Our country has many island. The Hundred Island in Pangasinan are examples of this landform. People live in some of the big islands. The smaller islands disappear during high tide. A group of island is an archipelago. The Philippines is an archipelago. We have to take care of our landforms. Most of our food products come from these lands. Our houses and Young Ji International School/College
Page 25
buildings use materials that come from our mountains. The livelihood of many Filipinos depend on the land. LET’S CHECK THIS OUT Did you know that the Philippines has minerals like gold? Mining is a major industry in our country. We should take care of our mining resources.
LET’S KEEP IN MIND Our country has different landforms. Some of our landforms are plains, mountains, mountain ranges, plateaus, valleys, hills, volcanoes, and islands.

LESSON 7:OUR BODIES OF WATER LET’S DISCUSS There are different bodies of water in the Philippines. We have oceans, seas, lakes, rivers, waterfalls, streams, and springs.

This is an ocean. It has salty water. It is the largest body of water. Big boats and ships sail across the ocean. These big ships can bring people, animals, and things to places in the Young Ji International School/College

The sea is a large body of water. Sea water is salty. The sea is smaller and not as deep as the ocean. Fisherfolks catch fish, shrimps, shells, squids, and oysters from the sea. Pearls are also found in the sea. They are made into jewelries like rings, earrings, bracelets, and necklace. Some examples of this body of water are the Philippine Sea, Luzon Sea, Sulu Sea, and Bohol Sea.

BAY
A bay is partly surrounded by land and connects to the sea. Bay water is not as deep as the sea. The Manila Bay is one of the most popular bays in the Philippines. Big boats and ships dock at Manila Bay. Some people like to go to this place early in the morning to get fresh air. Some go in the afternoon to watch the sunset. WATERFALL

STREAM
Young Ji International School/College
Page 32
A stream is a small body of fresh water. It is smaller than a river. It is usually shallow. We can wash clothes in a stream. Many children enjoy bathing in a stream because of its clean water. Stream water is also used to water nearby plants. Animals drink from a stream and take a bath there too. SPRING
Fresh spring water comes from the ground. Water from the spring can be cold or hot. It is believed that water from hot springs can cure some body pains. We should help preserve our bodies of water. We should not dump our trash in rivers and streams. We need water in order to live. We have to keep the sources of water clean for us and the future generation. Young Ji International School/College
