 Putting ice
Sprain on affected A sprain is a tear in the
area muscle. Sprains happen when
a muscle is twisted or
overstretched. They can be
painful. If you sprain a muscle,
you should put in ice
immediately. Putting ice on a
sprain will reduce swelling and
pain. It may help stop internal
bleeding too.
 Nobody wants to be
stung by a bee. Bee
stings are itchy and
painful. But what if the
bee stings you anyway?
One thing that you can
do is put vinegar on it.
The acid in the vinegar
may reduce the pain and
swelling from the sting.

 INSTRUCTIONS
Read the article about
plastic pollution and
highlight the signal words
used. You may use any
highlighter or pen.
 PLASTIC POLLUTION
Plastic pollution has become a global environmental
crisis, with devastating impacts on ecosystems,
wildlife, and human health. The widespread use and
disposal of single-use plastics have led to the
accumulation of plastic waste in oceans, rivers, and
landfills, posing significant challenges for our
planet's sustainability.
The excessive production and improper disposal of plastic
products have resulted in the contamination of marine
environments, endangering marine life and ecosystems.
Plastic waste persists for hundreds of years, breaking down
into microplastics that enter the food chain and accumulate
in the tissues of marine organisms, including fish and
seabirds. Additionally, plastic pollution contributes to
habitat destruction, entanglement of wildlife, and economic
losses in industries such as tourism and fisheries.
We can help solve plastic pollution by reducing
Single-Use Plastics: Implementing policies and
initiatives to reduce the consumption of single-
use plastics, such as bans on plastic bags and
straws, and promoting reusable alternatives,
improving Waste Management, promote
Education and Awareness, and encouraging
Corporate Responsibility.
GROUP
ACTIVITY
 INSTRUCTIONS
Discuss some observed social issues in
your community. You are encouraged
to research your group's identified
social issue and gather information
about its causes and effects.
Then, plot your ideas using any
problem-solution concept map.
