days 1. Use the properties of materials whether they are
useful or harmful. S5MT-Ia-b-1
STEM:
Materials are said to be useful when they serve their purpose. These may have properties such as durability, flexibility ,
elasticity, hardness, and resistance to water, heat, or acid. Most of the useful materials can be reused and recycled. For
example, a container for solid or liquid, when it is already empty, can still be used for other purposes such as a flower vase,
a coin bank, or a house decor. Some useful materials may also bring hazards. Toxic substances may also be present in the
things you commonly use such as paints, cleaners, fumes, gels, or powders. These materials may bring harm to your
health, environment, and other organisms when not used properly.

days 2. Investigate changes that happen in material under the application of heat. S5MT-Ic-d-2
STEM
Applying heat to the matter results in processes of physical and chemical changes. Physical change only happens when the appearance of
the matter changes and no new material is formed. Meanwhile, chemical change happens when the heat is applied and the matter
changes its size, shape, color, and smell, and new material is formed.
