What’s New

Is there a supermarket near your home?

Have you been with your mother to the supermarket? What materials were sold in it?

 Make a quick list of the materials found in the sections for cooking,
housekeeping, laundry, gardening, baking and sewing.
What are the good effects of the materials in your list? The usefulness of a
certain material depends on its properties. There are materials that are durable and
therefore can be reused many times. Though there are some that are not meant to be
reused, creative and inventive people still find other ways to use them.

In the first column is a list of materials found at home, in school and in the
community. In the second column, write the uses of the materials listed in the first
column.
In the second column, write a word/ group of words associated to the given word in
the first column. Do this in your module.

Materials Uses of the Materials

1) Banana peel
2) Plastic bottles
3) Pencil Shavings
4) Old magazines
5) Carton boxes

What is It

Materials are considered useful when they served their purpose or even beyond.
Some useful materials can also be reused, take for example, bottles are made to
contain any solid or liquid material. When they are already empty, they can still be
used for other purposes – as a flower vase, a coin bank, or a house decor. Whether a
bottle is made of plastic or glass, it has a property that makes it reusable. Useful
materials may have properties such as durability, resistance to water, heat or acid,
flexibility, elasticity and hardness.

 2 Community
Some useful materials may also bring hazards. Toxic substances may also be
present in the things you commonly used such as paints, cleaners, fumes, gels, or
powders. These materials may bring harm to your health, environment, and other
organisms when not used properly. That is why you should take precautionary
measures when handling and using different materials.

What’s In

Show pictures of harmful materials (Please put black and white picture of the
following)
Broken/ displaced glass
Varnish
Busted light bulbs
Defective electronic appliances

What other materials in your home can you consider as harmful? Why do you
consider them as harmful materials?

What’s New

Picture of left-over foods, food scraps, rotten fruits and vegetables, bleach, gasoline

Left-over foods, food scraps, rotten fruits and vegetables are examples of safe waste
materials. Household materials with warning signs such as poison for bleach and
flammable for gasoline.

Harmful waste materials cannot be dumped straight into a landfill. These

materials can be toxic or harmful to living things when not disposed properly.
Examples of toxic wastes include batteries, rubber tires and paint.

16
 Safe waste materials are not poisonous or toxic. Some of it can even be reused
or recycled. Example of safe waste materials include paper, clothing, plant parts and
food. Paper and clothing can be recycled while plant and food can easily decompose
and can be used as source of organic fertilizer.

What is It

Please put pictures of the following

Expired medicine Fruit peelings Scratch paper

Empty bottles Shattered glass

Look at the given pictures of the materials. Write them on the first column.
Then, put a check ( ⁄ ) on the second column if you find the material useful, and (X) if
you consider it waste.

21
 When do we say that a material is useful? A material is considered useful when it serves
its purpose or even beyond. The usability of a certain material depends on its properties.
There are materials that are made to last long and therefore can be reused many times. There
are also those not meant to be reused, though they can be utilized to serve another purpose.
On the other hand, harmful waste materials cannot be dumped straight into a landfill.
These materials can be toxic or harmful to living things when not disposed properly. These are
the following: toxic, can cause injury, cannot be dumped straight into a landfill, can pollute the
environment easily and takes too much time to decompose.

What’s In

Look at the words in the box. Identify them using the description below:
