Classifying Matter Based on

the Ability to Undergo Decay
 Review:
Answer the following:
1. A certain mineral has a mass of 17.8g
and a volume of 2.35cm³. What is the
density of this mineral?
2. A block has a mass of 325g and a
volume of 500cm³. What is the block’s
density? Will it sink or float in
freshwater?
 Homework:
Why should you wear
lifejackets when you jump
out from a boat? What kind
of material do you think life
jackets should be made of?
 Biodegradable
It refers to the materials that have the ability to
decay.
 Non-biodegradable
It refers to the materials that do not decay or
will take a long period of time to decompose
with the help of Mother Nature.
 Things to Remember:
• When food is exposed to sunlight, it decays.
Gas is produced in the form of bubbles, and
the decayed food will smell bad.
• To prevent food from decaying or spoiling, we
should keep them in a cold storage to be
frozen. The low temperature prevents harmful
bacteria from destroying the food.
Effects of Decaying
Materials to One’s
Health and Safety
Effects of Decaying Materials to One’s Health and Safety

1. Decaying
materials can be
toxic or poisonous.
 Effects of Decaying Materials to One’s Health and Safety

1. Decaying materials can be toxic or

poisonous.
- They have high amount of bacteria. The
bacteria cause the decay of the materials. This
high amount of bacteria can have a very serious
effect to one’s health. Decaying materials have a
very bad odor, and we should not be exposed to
them for a long period of time.
Effects of Decaying Materials to One’s Health and Safety

2. Decaying materials can

cause sickness, nausea,
diarrhea, vomiting, and other
serious health problems.
Life Lesson:
Why do we need to
understand the
importance of grouping
materials according to
their properties?
 Importance of
Interpreting Product
Labels and Proper
Disposal of Wastes
Many products are displayed in the
store that sometimes you are
confused on what to get. What do
you do before getting the product?

Do you consider its product label?

What are the things found in the

product label?
Common Product Labels
PRODUCT LABELS
- Tell the related information of a product
- Contain ingredients, contents, nutritional
facts, expiration date, batch number,
instruction of use, and manufacturer.
Common Product Labels
PRODUCT LABELS
- The safety of the products is determined by
reading the product label.
- The expiration date tells until when the
product is safe and effective to use.
- The content tells the volume of the
product. Volume is in grams or in milliliters.
 FOOD LABELS
• They tell the necessary information and
nutrition facts of food.
• Front Package – tells you the name of
the food and the amount of food in the
package
• List of Ingredients – tells what is in the
food
• Nutrition Facts Label – gives information
about the nutrients in the food
Food Ingredients with Nutritional Value
Carbohydrates
Proteins
Fats
Vitamins
Minerals
Water
