Characteristics of Describe different objects based Hands-on exploration: Provide

solids, liquids, and on their characteristics (e.g., shape, students with various objects
gases weight, volume, ease of flow) representing solids, liquids, and
gases and allow them to observe
and manipulate them to identify
characteristics such as shape,
weight, volume, and ease of flow.

Inquiry-based learning: Encourage

Human sense organs Enumerate healthful habits to
protect the sense organs
students to ask questions and
explore the properties of different
materials through guided inquiry
activities, fostering curiosity and
critical thinking.
Interactive activities: Engage
students in activities that involve
their senses, such as sensory
experiments or simulations, to
understand how each sense organ
works.

Health promotion projects: Have

Problem-solving tasks: Present

real-life scenarios involving heat
and electricity where students
need to apply their understanding
to solve problems, promoting
critical thinking and application of
knowledge.
Proper disposal of Identify the effects of decaying Environmental projects: Task
waste materials on one’s health and safety students with researching the
effects of improper waste disposal
on health and safety, and then
develop and implement solutions
for waste management in their
school or community.
