LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET
“Importance of Labels in Identifying Useful and Harmful Materials”
(Quarter 1, Week 2)

Background Information for Learners

Various household products are
found in our homes. These are
composed of different materials
with different properties. It is
therefore important for consumers
to read product labels. Through
product labels, consumers
become aware of whether the
product is harmful or not.
Expiration dates and
hazardous signs are some of the
most important elements in a
product label. Some products are
flammable, such as paints and
therefore must be stored away
from open flames. Others are
corrosive, like muriatic acid, so it is
advisable to keep them away from
children’s reach.
Pesticides, fertilizers, and
muriatic acid are poisonous if not
handled properly. Reading
product labels can help you
identify whether the product is
useful or harmful.
These simple symbols in
labels give ideas on how to use and
store the product properly, and to
help prevent accidents from
happening and therefore save
lives.

Here are some examples of signs/ symbols that you may

find in the household materials
