 Lesson
Useful and Harmful
1 Materials

Earth is an amazing world of materials. It has all the resources that we need to
survive. These materials possess different characteristics that make them distinct from
one another. They have properties that make them good materials. However, some of
them have properties that may harm and destroy us. We need to know the difference
between useful and harmful materials. But how can we identify a material if it is useful
or harmful? You shall learn more about the properties of materials that can make them
useful or harmful by going over the succeeding activities of this module.

What’s In

Before going further, let us try to remember some important science terms from
your past lessons that may somehow be related to our lesson on the properties of
useful and harmful materials. These science terms you have learned from your
previous grades may connect to this present lesson.
Are you ready to begin? Let us start!

Notes to the Teacher

 What’s New

Hello there! I am Matt Riyal.

Today, we are going to explore the
world of useful and harmful materials.
Can you identify some of
them? Let us start by exploring
some of our household materials. Let
us do the following activity. Ready!

Study the different household materials below. Draw a big house with five
rooms, label each room just like in the illustration below and write the names of each
material in the proper place where you can find them in your house.

LIVING ROOM BEDROOM

BATHROOM KITCHEN STOCKROOM

10
 Bath Soap TV Set

Cooking oil Medicines

Bleach Canned Goods

Computer Insecticide

Gasoline Blanket

How did you find the activity? Did you

have fun?
How did you group the different
household materials given? Which among
them are useful? Can you tell which are
harmful? Why do you say so?
Let us find out the answers to our
questions as we explore more. Come on!

11
 What is It

Have you imagined eating using a paper spoon? Or after bathing, you use a
plastic towel?

USEFUL MATERIALS

Materials around us were made to by product manufacturers to serve a specific

purpose based on their properties. When these materials are used based on the
reason why they are made, they are considered useful materials. Useful materials can
be used freely, anytime, and anywhere. Most of them are made from wood, paper,
metal, plastic, glass, fabric, and rubber. These materials possess properties that
cause no harm to people and the environment. Below are the different properties that
make materials useful for different usage.

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
Flexible Can be bent
Brittle Hard but easily broken
Strong Difficult to break
Transparent You can see completely through it
Rough Uneven surface
Magnetic Attracted to a magnet
Opaque You cannot see through it
Waterproof Does not soak up water or let water through
Smooth Even surface
Translucent You can see through it a bit
Shiny Reflects light
Synthetic Man-made
Absorbent Soak up water
Rigid Cannot be bent
Natural Not man-made
Hard Difficult to scratch or squash
Conductor Heat and electricity can travel through it
Insulator Do not allow heat and electricity to travel
through it

12
 Aside from knowing the properties of a material to identify if it is useful or
harmful, it is also important that we know the uses of these materials. Proper
placement of these materials inside our house must also be considered. Useful
materials at home are those that make our lives comfortable, improve our health, get
rid of a harmful organism, make our work easier
and faster, and help protect and conserve our
environment.

Materials are also useful when they can be

used for another purpose. Reusing a material
many times helps in minimizing household waste.
Such for example when an ice cream container is
reused to contain other materials for safekeeping.
Useful material can also be recycled. When a
material is not meant to be reused, then it will be
thrown directly into the garbage bin. People who
are creative enough to make use of these
recyclable materials into something else and can
be used differently from its primary use. An
example of which is rubber boots turned into creative flowerpots.

When materials become waste and readily be thrown into the garbage bin and
the landfill, a dumpsite, these materials are also considered useful waste materials.
Waste materials that are made from paper and plastics are safe waste that can be
recycled. Other waste such as food scraps and fruit and vegetable peelings can be
used as organic fertilizer when decomposed.

HARMFUL MATERIALS
What can you say about the different materials in the illustration? Are they
useful or harmful materials?

Photographed by Adelina B. Luzarito

13
 Some useful materials or products may also be harmful. A material is
considered harmful when it endangered the lives of people, other living things, and the
environment in general. Harmful materials can be in a form of solid, liquid, or gas.
However, these materials should be stored properly in a place that is secured and
locked to limit any physical contact to lessen the chances of problems. They should
always be placed away from children’s reach to avoid further damage. We cannot stay
away or even get rid of these harmful materials because in some cases, we needed
them. So, we must know how to identify most of them for our safety and the safety of
others as well. Below are examples of harmful materials.

A product can be identified as harmful

through the properties of its raw materials.
The properties of these harmful materials
may be observed by reading its product label.
Reading the product labels helped us to be
aware of the harmfulness a product may
cause. One must be vigilant in observing the
warning signals found in the product labels so
that they will know how to use and handle
them properly. Below are some warning
signals and its description that you need to
know. If a product has at least one of the Photographed by Adelina B. Luzarito

following signals/properties, then it is

considered harmful both to our health and the environment if not properly used,
handled, and disposed of.

Materials that may cause long-term illness or

sickness for example cancer. Pesticide is an
example of toxic/poisonous material.

TOXIC/POISONOUS

Materials that ignite and catch fire easily. Paint is

one of the most flammable home products.

FLAMMABLE

14
 Materials that are usually strong acids and eats
through a material. Oven cleaners are common
corrosive materials.

CORROSIVE

Materials that react readily with other materials.

Firecrackers are examples of reactive material.

REACTIVE

Practicing precautionary measures when handling harmful material can help

us to be safe and free from any untoward injuries. Use any protective coverings such
as masks and gloves when using them. Instructions found in the product labels is a
must-read activity before using any harmful materials. These materials cannot be
directly discarded into the landfill. Proper waste disposal after using them may save
not only ourselves but as well as other living organisms and the whole environment.

USEFUL MATERIALS WITH HARMFUL CAPABILITIES

Some useful materials may have harmful capabilities too. Below are some
examples of these materials.
A. Food Products

1. Food gives us energy because it has nutrients that nourish our body
such as carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, and minerals. But these
must be taken as to the required amount of intake in the body.

2. Food additives provide

nutrients, improve the color,
flavor, texture, and prevent the
spoilage of food. However,
taking too much of these
additives may cause sicknesses
such as asthma, migraine,
cancers, constipation, heart, and
other chronic diseases.

15
B. Medicine products

Medicine, drugs, and other medical

supplies are useful products that treat
us when we are sick. They can be in the
form of solid or liquid medicines.
However, improper use may be lethal to
somebody if taken without the proper
prescription of a medical doctor.
Overdosage and self-medication may
result in death.

C. Cleaning
Detergents, disinfectants, bleaches, sanitizers, acids and others are the
most common household cleaning products that we usually use at home.
But if these products are not properly used, they can be harmful to
human and in the environment. These materials must be used as
indicated in the product label.

D. Personal Care
Shampoo, soap, toothpaste, toothbrush, cologne, and etc. are some
examples of common personal care products. These products are
usually use for personal hygiene and sanitation and generally made from
number of different components and materials.

E. Building Construction
Concrete, steel, wood, clay, sand, gravel and cement are the common
examples of materials used to construct buildings. These materials are
used for carpentry, insulation, plumbing and roofing work and being
handled with precaution.

16

 What I Have
Learned

Wow! Congratulations! You have finished all the activities well. Good Job! To
determine if a material is useful or harmful, you learned that:

• The properties of materials help determine if they are useful or harmful.

• Materials made of wood, paper, plastic, metal, and fabric are usually
possessed properties that are useful and suited to the kind of material
they are made.

• Materials having properties of being strong, elastic, malleable,

waterproof, absorbent, transparent, translucent, opaque, shiny,
conductor, insulator, and many more that can cause no harm to the user
and to the environment are considered useful properties.

• The properties of materials can be combined to make them more useful

material.

• There are useful materials that possess harmful capabilities too.

Understanding the properties of materials helps you to use them
properly and safely.

• Examples of harmful properties of materials are being corrosive,

reactive, toxic, and flammable.

• Certain materials that people use every day can be harmful when not
handled properly.

• Practice precautionary measures in handling harmful materials is a

must. Reading product labels and observing warning signals for harmful
materials free us from danger and distress.
