b. Pyrography d. dyeing
5. It is done by rubbing the surface of the bamboo
with soot from frying fans to become glossy and
protect the material against weevils.

Sources of finishing materials:
1. Shellac-it is a good
finish for many
projects. It comes
from the excreta of
insects called a luc
bug.
Sources of finishing materials:
2. Varnish – it is
another finishing
material that beautifies
and preserves a project.
It is made from copal
gum dissolved in pure
boiled linseed oil.
Sources of finishing materials:
3. Paint – it is another
finishing material that is
always used because of
its beautiful colour and a
good protector of
materials.
Sources of finishing materials:
4. Lacquer – this is a
synthetic product which
is largely used in all
manufactured articles.
This finishing material
could retain the natural
colour of the material to
which it is applied.
Sources of finishing materials:
5. Stain (Tina) – stain is colouring
material which is applied to the
surface of a wood to improve its
appearance. There are three kinds
of stain: oil stain, water stain, and
spirit stain.
• When you mix the dye (tina) with
petroleum, the result is oil stain.
Sources of finishing materials:
6. Sandpaper – it
is made grits,
usually ground
silica, flint, quartz,
or emery glued to
thick paper or cloth.
Sources of finishing materials:
7. Glue/Stick glue – glue
is a paste for wood
materials. It is in powder
or in cake form. It is
manufactured from fish,
animals, and plastic resin.
(Integration in Science)

Bamboo is known to provide a

wide range of ecosystem services.
Bamboo is effective for soil
conservation and in rehabilitation
of degraded lands. The extensive
underground interconnected rhizome and roots
system with net structure effectively binds top
soil and prevents sheet and gully erosion. It is
effective tool to mitigate soil erosion, improve
soil qualities and hydrological functions.
GROUP TASK: (5 GROUPS)
MATERIALS:
1. Bamboo cuttings 5. paint brush (small)
2. Stick glue/gun 6. ribbonette
3. Plastic varnish 7. plant (if possible)
4. Sandpaper
DIRECTIONS: (in 10 mins)
1. The materials are provided. Smooth bamboo using sandpaper. Glue the
bamboo cuttings. Apply varnish.
2. When dry, decorate/enhance the bamboo products by applying the
methods learned from the video.
3. Do the tasks cautiously.
4. Keep safe .
ACTIVITY RUBRICS:
5- Finishes on time, very creative finish; matibay ang pagkagawa.
4-Finishes 2 minutes late, matibay ang pagkagawa

2- Finishes 5-7 minutes late, ngunit matibay ang pagkagawa.
1- Finishes 7-10 or more minutes late.
Direction: After the group task,
members of the group will present
their output:
 through a song
 poem
 rap
 action song
 ramp modelling
Points to Remember:
Products made of bamboos are much in
demand both in the local and
international market. With the evolving
needs of today’s consumers, many
entrepreneurs are continuously creating
and innovating products in order to
cater to the demands of the market.
Thank you and Godbless everyone!
