Allotted Time: 7 minutes
Good Morning, Grade 5-Mahusay! I hope

that you had fun and you have enjoyed
your time with your family and freedom
during the holiday break! But for now, we
will proceed to continue our previous topic
– our lesson for today is related to what
you have learned in the previous session.
So, I hope everyone is prepared and

ready! Here is our first activity for today.
I believe everyone knows who Wonder

Pets are! And for those who didn’t, they
are the animals that help and save other
animals who are in trouble and need help.
Are you ready to be with Wonder Pets in

saving and helping animals for today?
Can I see a heart reaction? Students react with heart emoticon.
Very nice! So now, I will call four students

who will act as Linny (guinea pig), Tuck
(turtle), Mingming (duck), and the animal
that they need to save. And I will be the
one who will be reading the narrator’s
line.
Manila
Since we now have the characters, let us

proceed. You just need to read the lines
that your character is saying.

With your answers, why do you choose

those materials to move and evacuate?
Why is it important for those materials to So that the materials wont be broken and
not be reached by the flood? be destroyed by the flood or it will not be
carried away by the flood.
That is right! All of your answers are
correct! So, in this activity, do you think it
is important for us to know the categories Yes, teacher! It is important to categorize
of the materials in order for us to organize them so that we will know how to keep
them? Why do you think so? them and handle them well.
Very good! That is a wonderful insight!
Now that you have understood the
objective of this activity, let us now
proceed to the next one!

We can classify the materials based on
the characteristics, properties, and - Based on their characteristics and
materials they are made of. Later on, we properties.
will dig deeper about that. - Based on the materials they are made
of.
I hope that you enjoy our activity. We will
now move on to our discussion for today.
Discussion
Manila
For today’s discussion, we will just

continue the previous lesson that we have
tackled. Remember, from last year, we
learned about the different properties of
the materials. Now, we will learn about
the different categories of materials.
Based on the pictures presented on your - Metals

screen, what are the different categories - Ceramic
of materials? - Polymer/Plastic
- Composite
- Glass
- Wood
Very well, students! You have identified

the six different categories of materials.
Now, on the following slides, we will need

to describe each of these categories. The
slide that will be presented, you will see
blank spaces that you need to fill in with
phrases or words that will best describe
the specific category of material. The
description that you will use can be based
on what you have learned from the last
discussion - the extensive and intensive
properties or anything that you might think
that will best describe the material.
I will call students who will answer

randomly and for those who are not
called, you can answer by sending it to
our chatbox.
Are you ready, students? Can I see a

heart reaction if everyone is ready? Students clicked the heart reaction
button.
Manila
For our first category, you said that these

are metals.
What do you think are the intensive or

extensive properties that are used to
describe a metal? Or just words that will Good conductor, teacher!
best describe a metal?
Yes, very good! A good conductor! Why

do you say that metal is a good
conductor? How do you recall It is a good conductor because it allows
conductivity from the last session? the flow of electricity and heat.
Excellent! Thank you for that. Aside from

metal is a good conductor, any other
description? It is malleable, teacher!
Yes! Metal is malleable! When metal is

malleable what will it turn out to be? When it is hammered, it will turn into thin
sheets.
That is correct! Aside from metals being a
good conductor and malleable, can It is hard, teacher!
someone give me another description of
metal?
Very good! Metals are hard! How can we

consider that a material is hard based on It is hard when it can resist deformity!
your past lesson?
That is right! Since metals can resist

being deformed, therefore, it is Ductile, teacher!
considered hard. Thank you for your
answer! And for the last description that
will be shared? Metals are?
Manila
That is right! Metal is ductile! What does They can be stretched and pulled into thin
being ductile or a material having ductility wires just like what we see in your
mean again? electrical cords.
Very good class! All those who answered

will receive their stickers. With your
answers, we were able to describe a
metal.
Now, I would like you to share different

uses of metals that you can think of, or
materials wherein it is made up of metal.
Let us have 3 students to share their

answers. Those who will not be called
can answer through the chatbox and I will
read them for you.
Okay, let us start with you, student. - It can be used for cooking foods like
kitchenware are made up of metal.
- Metal is used for making money like
coins.
- It is used for making jewelry.
- It is used for machines, firearms and
appliances.
- It is used for transportation like cars,
trains, and jeepneys.
Very good, students! You see, metals
have many uses, especially in this
generation where technology is widely
used, metals seem to be everywhere as
well.
Now, why do you think metals are used It should be metal because it is hard and
for those materials? For example, why strong and when we use different
can’t cars be made from other materials? materials for cars that are not metal, we
Why do those examples you cited be might be more prone to severe injury
made out of metals? because other materials are not as hard
as metals.
Manila
Wow! That is very insightful! That is right!

Metals are the most suitable for those
examples because of their properties too.
Thank you for your answers, students!
Moving on to the next category, we have

‘ceramic’.
What do you think are the words and

phrases that you can use to describe a Teacher, it is lustrous!
ceramic?
That is right! Ceramic materials are

lustrous! Based on the past discussion, Luster is the property of a material to

mass of the material. Other than that? electricity, teacher.
Another description for ceramic
materials?
Excellent, student! Ceramic materials are A good insulator means that it doesn’t
good insulators. Earlier, you said that allow the flow of electricity in the material.
metals are good conductors, then, what
does insulator mean?
Manila
Very good! And for the last one? Teacher, it is also hard but it is brittle too.
That is right! Ceramic materials are also Brittle means that it is hard but it can also

All your answers are correct! Thank you
for that! You will all receive a sticker!
Just like metals, ceramic materials are

also widely used, and it is mostly for the
materials we usually see in our kitchen,
the plates, cups, bowls, etc. Good job,
students!
Now, let us proceed to the next word! The

word is ‘polymer’ or plastic!
What do you think are the words or

phrases that are used to describe a
polymer?
It is light in weight, teacher!

Manila
That is right! Polymers are lightweight. It

is not that heavy. Aside from that? Any
other answers?

They are called insulators!
Yes, that is correct! Polymers are
insulators. Thank you for your answer!
Aside from that? Any other answers?
They are also hard, teachers!
Very good! Polymers are also hard that
are suitable for their own uses.
Thank you for your answers, students!

Everyone who answered on both the chat
box and orally will receive their
corresponding stickers.
Now, let us cite different uses of polymer.

I will randomly call 3 students again to
share their answers.
Let us start with you, student.

food products are packaged in plastics,
Manila
right? Why do you think it does? What will

happen to the food if there is no food
packaging?
That is right! Plastics provide protection to

our goods that is why they are useful.
Moving on, let us proceed to the next

word! The word is ‘composite!
What do you think are the words or

phrases that are used to describe a
composite?
It is hard, teacher!
Yes, that is right! Composite is hard! Why
do you think it is hard? What makes up a
composite material?

answer. Aside from it being hard, any Teacher, composite is also lightweight.
other answers?
That is correct! Composite, just like

polymers, are lightweight as well. Thank
you for that. And the last one? How will
you describe a composite? Teacher, it is a good insulator!
Very good! Composite is also a good

insulator.
All of your answers are correct! And there

is a modern composite that is widely used
nowadays, fiberglass and carbon fibers.
Manila
Can someone give me the uses and

example materials of composite?

materials for its properties that are suited
for the material’s function.
Onto the second to the last category! The

‘glass’!
What do you think are the phrases that

will best describe a glass?
That is right. Just like ceramic, glass is a Glass is an insulator, teacher!

good insulator. Thank you for your
answer. Aside from that? It is brittle, teacher! But still, it is hard.

them?
That is right! And for the last description

for glass? Glass is?
It is a light, teacher!
Correct! Glass is light in weight as well.
Now that we have identified the

descriptions for glass, let us now cite
some uses of it or examples of materials
made out of glass.
Let us start with you, student.

Manila
- Glass is used for some tableware.

- Glass is used for laboratory apparatus.
- Glass is used for windows for houses,

correct. - Glass is used for storing foods.
Now, why do you think glass is used for

those materials? For example, why can’t
laboratory apparatus be made from other Glass is suitable for laboratory apparatus
metals since it is more hard and it is not because compared to metals, they are
brittle? Why does it need to be glass? transparent.
Very good! Glass is more suitable as a

material to make laboratory apparatus
because of what you have said! Thank
you for your answer.
Moving on to the last category, the ‘wood’.
What do you think are the phrases or

words that can be used to describe this?
Teacher, woods are hard!
That is correct! Woods are hard! Thank
you for that. Aside from woods being
hard, any other idea? It is a good insulator, teacher!
Precisely! Woods are good insulators of

both heat and electricity. It can resist
heat, electricity, and also cold. Aside from Its texture is rough, teacher.
that? How will you describe wood?
That is right! Wood is naturally rough in

texture. Thank you for all your answers,
students.
Manila
Now let us cite the uses of wood and

some examples of materials that are
made out of wood. Can you name some - Woods are used to make house
of its uses? furniture.
- Woods are used for some kitchen
equipment.
Excellent students! All of your answers - Woods are used to build houses.
are correct; therefore, you will receive - Woods are used to making papers.
your stickers!
With those examples that you have

shared, I have noticed that you have
mentioned that paper is made out of I think, to save trees and our

Wow, that is a very nice idea. Thank you,

student! With what your classmate said,
when we lessen the use of papers, it also
means that we are saving our
environment too.
Now that we have identified the different

categories of materials and we were also
able to describe and cite their uses and
examples, we will now identify some
harmful effects that they can pose to
humans.
I have here photographs of the materials

being used by humans. And I would like
you to react to it. Click the heart reaction
button if you think that the material was
handled well and it doesn’t pose harm to
humans, and a sad reaction if the photo
shows that the material might harm
humans.
Manila
Are my instructions clear? Can you click

the heart reaction button if the instructions
are understood? The student clicks the heart reaction
button.
For our first picture, is it a heart or sad?
Students react with sad emoticon.
Why do you choose a sad reaction,

student?
I choose sad because it can harm us

slippers.
For the last one. How will you react to

this?
You can see that the plastics are dumped

in this location. Is it a heart or sad
reaction? Students react with sad emoticon.
Why is it sad reaction?
It is sad because the plastics are not

properly disposed and are only dumped in
that location so it can cause land pollution

can really do many things for plastics, we
just really need to strategize so that we
can also help our environment
Very well! We should be reminded that

each material has its own characteristics
that are suited for its functions. Now that
we have understood that the categories of
Manila
materials are important to tool to organize

our environment, let us now proceed to
our next activity.
Innovate
Allotted Time: 7-10 minutes
Now that we have learned about the

different categories of materials and how
can some of the man-made products
derived from the materials are harmful to
the environment, we will then proceed
with its purpose on how can some of the
products can be beneficial to the
environment that could boost not just the
overall health of the environment but also
with the beautification.
With that, we will have an activity called

“Oh product? What have you done?”
Did you get the title of our activity class?

Can you give me a heart reaction if you Students clicked the heart reaction
did? button.
Thank you for that class!
So, in our activity, it will be done

individually. Each student will draw a
specific man-made product that is
beneficial to the environment. Keep in
mind that after you draw the product, you
will tell the class its benefits to the
environment and what are the materials
used in it.
I will give you a maximum of 3 minutes to

draw the product on a sheet of paper or
whiteboard. You can also be creative with
what you draw, meaning you can color it
or put designs. After that, I will call 3
Manila
students that could share their insights

with the class.
Did you all get the instructions, class? If

yes can, you give me a heart reaction? Students clicked the heart reaction
button.
Before that class, I will give you a guide.
“The beneficial product that I choose

is the (name of the material). Through
using this, (share its uses). And the
material used for my chosen product
is (category of material).”
For example, “The beneficial product that

I choose is the reusable tumblers.
Through using this, I won’t be opting to
use disposable cups like paper cups or
plastic cups that will not degrade for many
years. And the material of reusable
tumblers can be metals and or plastics
that are sustainably recycled.”
To choose your beneficial product, you

can just look around your house and think
of its benefits so don’t make yourself think
hard.
Did you get that class? If yes, can you

give me a heart reaction? Students clicked the heart reaction
button.
Now, your 3-minute timer will start.
Since the timer is already up, I will now

call students that can share their thoughts
with us.
Can you raise all your masterpiece into

the camera which would tell me that all of Students raise his/her hand.

think that is right some reusable straws
can be made with ground-up cereals and
rice that could be eaten and paper which
is also easily dissolved and is
biodegradable.
So now let us proceed to another student,

can you share your thoughts with us? Teacher, I drew a ceramic plate that has
been used for thousands of years. It is
good for the environment because it
lessens the use of disposable plates. It is
made by a ceramic, teacher.
That is good, student! Ceramic plates are
environmentally good. Now let us proceed Teacher, I drew rattan baskets, which can

That is excellent! With that, rattans can be

utilized in different environmentally good
products such as baskets, chairs, fixtures
in our homes, etc.
I hope you learn the significance of

today's lesson that we should also take
part in protecting our environment by
being mindful of what we use in our
day-to-day lives. Meaning, always having
environmental initiatives in your heart
even with just a small step. And always
think that every material can be utilized to
its full potential just like us. I hope we
