IV. Procedure:

1. Before the Lesson

Teacher’s Activity Learner’s Activity

A. Preparatory Activities

May we all stand for a short prayer. (praying..)

Good morning, class! Good morning, ma’am!
Please take your sits.
Let me check first your attendance. As I call on your (checking the attendance)
name say present.

Okay. No one is absent today. Very good!

B. Learning Cycle
B.1 Elicit

Who among you still remember what was our lesson Ma’am, it is all about the effects of exposure to
last meeting? decaying materials on one’s health and safety.

Very good!

So, what properties of materials affects one’s Toxic materials, ma’am. Just like when you eat
health? expired food. I may cause you stomachache.

Very good!

What common materials at home undergo decay? Ma’am, the materials that usually undergo decay at
home are canned foods, milks, and other processed
foods.
Very good, again!

B.2 Engage

So, today we will be having our new lesson which is

the importance of reading product labels.

There are materials at home which are

manufactured products. Most of these are sold in
plastic packages, boxes, glass containers, or tin cans.

When you buy these products, do you bother to read Sometimes, ma’am! When we’re looking for its
the labels on its packages? expiration date or the nutrients it contains.

That’s right! When we buy these products, we often

look for its nutrition facts or its expiration date.

2. During the Lesson

B.3 Explore

Okay, class. We will be having an activity. I will group (the class will do the assigned task/activity)
you into three (3). Then, I will give some materials
that we usually found in our home that contains
labels at back. Observe each labels and list down
some important facts that you have notice. Then,
you will present your outputs to the class later on.

B.4 Explain

Okay. Now, let’s hear what are your observations

based on the materials I have given you.

What are the kinds of products that you have in your Ma’am, we have here food products,
activity? medicines/drugs, housekeeping products.

Do you have all these materials at home? Answer varies

When you buy these products, do you bother to read Sometimes, ma’am. Specially, when it is food. We
the labels on the package or container? often look for the nutrients it contains before buying
it.

Very good! Knowing the nutrition content of a food

you are going to buy is very important. Because you
will find here what nutrients you can get in the food
you will going to buy.

As you read the labels of the empty packages of the Ma’am, we saw the content that the product has, its
products that you have in your activity, what expiration date, manufacturing date and its
information did you get? manufacturer.

Very good!

The main importance of reading product labels is to

provide or to inform the public about its brand name
and content of the packaged product, uses/proper
usage, expiry dates and the necessary precautions or
warning in using the products.

There are some products that we transfer from

original labeled container and put in ordinary
unlabeled containers. These become dangerous
when mistaken for another and used for another
purpose.

B.5 Elaborate

Product labels are intended to ensure the safety of

the user.

Manufacturers, give the product ingredients to

inform the buyers who have allergies. They also
describe the safe way of using the product, including
the dose in terms of medicine.
They also warn the buyers for possible dangers and
describe the proper way of storing the product.

People need to consider the information on product

labels when buying products to be stored at home to
be aware of how to use the product especially in the
case of medicine. Labels warn possible dangers.

3. After the Lesson

B.6 Evaluate

Given are the pictures of products. Do products have (the students will write their answers on a sheet of
labels? What information can you get from the paper)
product?

B.7 Extend

Draw a product commonly found in your kitchen.

Read the labels and list it in your science notebook.
