Ask: Selected learners will share and discuss their ideas with
the rest of the class.
Who wants to share his/her ideas with the rest of the class?
(The teacher will call at least two (2) volunteers.)

Note: Clarify misconceptions based on learner’s results.

Yes, Sir!

Ask:
How we should classify the materials at home and in school?
When is a material useful?
When is a material harmful?
When is a material considered waste?
Why is it important to know which materials are useful?

We classify the materials at home and in school as
useful materials and harmful materials.
Materials are considered useful when it serves a
purpose.
Materials are considered harmful when it brings harm to
your health.
A material is considered waste when a material already
served its primary use and can be discarded.
It is important to know which materials are useful so that
we can reuse and recycle them.
We need to know which materials are harmful to dispose
 Why do we need to know which materials are harmful? them properly.

4. Application:
Divide the class into four groups. Useful Materials Harmful Materials

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
presentation of their output and answers from the activity.

Group 1
Direction: Classify the materials as safe or harmful. Use the chart to
complete the task.
