Using Materials at Home and in School

● We use different matter as materials in our homes and schools. These materials
are helpful in our daily lives.
● If we do not use and handle materials properly, it may cause us harm.

● Therefore, we need to know how to properly use and handle materials to avoid
accidents and to ensure safety.

● Use electrical appliances properly.

⮚ Make sure to turn appliances off and pull their plugs when not in use. If
mishandled, these can cause electric shock or can cause fire.
● Always check the expiration date of the food before you eat them, and of
medicine before you take them.

soap thoroughly to avoid mixing it with food and to avoid intake of these liquid
materials.
