Identify each item and describe it. (answers may vary)

Ask:
What is the object made of?
Are these materials safe or harmful? Why?

B. Lesson Proper:

1. Presentation:

The teacher will show some household materials one by one.

Ask:
That material is an old newspaper.
What can you say about this material?
Yes!
Is it useful?

That material is an insecticide.

 How about this material? No!

Do you have this material at home? That material is use for bleaching.
What is the use of this material? Yes!
Is it harmful?
That material is a plastic bottle.

Is it safe to keep this material?

That material is a sack.

What can you say about this material?
No!
Is it harmful?

Say:
Look at the household materials found on the table.
I have here two containers and I will put these materials inside for safe
keeping.

The container to your left contains useful materials.

 Ask: The container to your right contains harmful materials.
What can you say about the materials in the container to my left?
The learners will read the lesson’s objective altogether.
What can you say about the materials in the container to my right?

Then, the teacher presents the lesson by allowing the learners to read the
lesson’s objectives altogether.

2. Discussion:

The teacher will use “Think-Pair-Share Strategy”.

Say:
The learner starts listing some materials they see inside
Look around your classroom and list some materials that you see and
classify them as useful or harmful. Three minutes is given to you to do the their classroom.

(The teacher will call at least two (2) volunteers.)

Note: Clarify misconceptions based on learner’s results.

Ask: Yes, Ma’am!

 Would you know that there are certain precautions to follow to keep us

served its primary use and can be discarded.
When is a material considered waste?
It is important to know which materials are useful so that
we can reuse and recycle them.
Why is it important to know which materials are useful?
We need to know which materials are harmful to dispose
them properly.

4. Application:

Divide the class into four groups.

Set standards to follow during group activity.
Provide the learners with activity materials.
Learners are given eight (8) minutes to complete their task.
Tell the learners that they will be choosing one (1) reporter for the Useful Materials Harmful Materials
