Use the properties of materials whether they are
useful or harmful
 Target Skills
❑ Identify some properties of materials commonly used
at home.
❑ Identify different useful household materials.
❑ Describe the characteristics of useful materials.
 LESSON
Identifying Useful Materials
Guide Questions:

❑ What are the different properties of the

materials you use at home?

❑ When is a material considered useful?

Have you tried
cutting paper
without a pair of
scissors?

Different
materials serve
various
purposes. But
have you ever
wondered what
makes a
material useful?

How will you

know if a
material is
useful or not?

Properties of Materials
● Sharpness is the quality of being sharp.

● Flexibility is the ability of a material to be bent without

breaking.

● Hardness is the condition of being rigid and unbreakable.

● Luster is the ability of an object to shine when light strikes

on it.
 Learn about It

What is absorbability?
Absorbability refers to the ability of a material to absorb or
take in certain materials, usually liquids, in a gradual manner.

● Waterproof materials repel liquids, specifically water.

● Absorbent materials absorb liquids like water.

 TEXTURE
It is the way that something feels when touched.

Materials made of metals, glass, or plastics have SMOOTH SURFACES.

These materials are often used as containers for food and drinks.

Cleaning materials such as brushes, dishwashing sponges, and steel

wool have ROUGH SURFACES to remove the dirt on the materials in
which they are in contact.
 TELL and GUESS
Guess the material based on its properties being described.
WHEN IS A MATERIAL CONSIDERED USEFUL?

A material is useful when it serves

its main purpose, and people benefit
from it.
 Learn about It

Examples of Useful Materials

• Household products such as detergents, bleach, and soap
are often used for cleaning.

• These materials have cleaning properties that could

remove stains and other dirt from clothes and other
materials.

• They contain surfactants that lift the dirt from a material,

which make it easier to wash away.
 Learn about It

Examples of Useful Materials

• A liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is a
mixture of gas in liquid form and is
stored in a metal canister under high
pressure.

• It is a flammable material that could

easily catch fire and burn.

• LPG serves as a fuel for stoves which LPG

are essential for cooking.
 Learn about It

Examples of Useful Materials

• Pans are used for cooking food.

• The high conductivity of metals

makes it an appropriate material for
creating cooking pans.

• It also has insulated handles, which

prevents the person from getting hurt cooking pans
when they touch the hot handles.
 Learn about It

Examples of Useful Materials

• Most houses have windows made of
glass.

• Glass are known to be transparent,

which allows light to pass through it.

• Its transparency provides natural

lighting inside the house. A house window made of
glass

INTERACTIVE ACTIVITY

Each group will be given illustrations and

should describe the property that makes it
useful. Write your answers in a ½ cartolina.

 Key Points

● Materials at home are described based on their physical

appearance. Some properties that are used to describe
materials are color, shape, size, and texture.
● Other properties of materials:
○ Thermal conductivity is the ability of an object to
allow heat to pass through it.
○ Sharpness is the quality of an object in being sharp.
○ Flexibility is the ability of a material to be bent without
breaking.
 Key Points

● Other properties of materials:

○ Hardness is the condition of being rigid and
unbreakable.
○ Luster is the ability of an object to shine when light
strikes it.
○ Absorbability refers to the ability of a material to
absorb or take in certain materials, usually liquids, in a
gradual manner.
 Key Points

● Materials at home may also be grouped as natural or

synthetic.
● A material is said to be useful when it serves its main
purpose, and people benefit from it.
● Some useful materials are cleaning products and tools,
cooking pans, glass, hammer, garden hose, and pillow to
name a few.
○ Some materials are good at removing dirt because they
contain chemicals with good cleaning properties.
 Key Points

● Some useful materials are cleaning products and tools,

cooking pans, glass, hammer, garden hose, and pillow to
name a few.
○ Some materials are waterproof. Water does not easily
soak this material. Other materials are highly
absorbent and are used to absorb water and other
liquids.
○ Some materials are flexible and can be bent easily.
 Key Points

● Some useful materials are cleaning products and tools,

cooking pans, glass, hammer, garden hose, and pillow to
name a few.
○ Other materials that allow heat to pass through are
said to be conducting. Materials that do not allow heat
to pass through are said to be insulating.
○ Some materials burn easily. These materials are said to
be flammable.
○ Transparent materials allow light to pass through.

“The most USEFUL MATERIALS in the

world are the ones that inspire us to create
something meaningful and the ones that
encourage us to be truthful in our
endeavors”
Cheating on a Test:

You see a classmate cheating

during a test. They ask you not to
tell the teacher. What do you do?
Overcharged at the store:

You notice that the cashier at a store

accidentally charged you less for an item
than it actually costs. Do you point out the
mistake or pay the lower amount?
 BIBLE VERSE
"Lying lips are an abomination to the
Lord, but those who act faithfully
are his delight." - Proverbs 12:22
A note tells us how high or low, and how long a sound
should be.
The rest is the opposite of the note. It represents the duration of a

pause or stop. A rest has no sound.
