Understanding Material Properties and Waste

There are two classifications of materials: useful and harmful. A landfill is used to dispose of waste materials by covering them with soil layers to prevent pollution. Toxic substances can harm living things and the environment if not disposed of properly. Lessons outline physical and chemical properties of materials and ways to reduce, reuse, and recycle waste through methods like material recovery facilities and incineration technology. Physical changes alter a material's form or state but not its composition, while chemical changes produce new substances through oxidation or other reactions.

Science

Grade 5
Lesson 1
*What are the two classifications of material? useful and harmful
*Landfill- is a dumping site where waste materials are covered with layers of soil so as not to
pollute the surroundings
* toxic- are substances that are harmful to living things and the environment when not disposed
of properly.
Lesson 2
Properties of Materials
Physical Properties - a characteristics of a material that can be readily observed without
changing its composition.
Hardness -ability of a material to be rigid and resist pressure that may cause deformation or
change in shape.
Brittleness- ability of the material to break when subjected to a high stress or blow.
Flexibility- ability of the material to bend without breaking.
Elasticity-ability of the material to be stretched and then return to its original shape after.
Conductivity- ability to let heat and electricity to pass through them.
Malleability- ability of the material to be hammered into flat sheets.
Ductility- ability to be drawn into thin wires.
Chemical Properties- a characteristic of a material where a material has to change its property
first before a certain property can be observed.
Combustibility- ability of the material to burn.
flammability- ability of the material to ignite or catch fire easily.
Biodegradability- ability of the material to decompose easily.
Non-biodegradable- takes a very long time to decompose.
Lesson 3 5Rs
Reduce
- to lessen the amount of trash that will add up to the environment.
Reuse
- to find another use for materials that have already been used or that have
already served it purpose.
Recycle
- means to create a new product out of a material that has already served its
purpose.
Incineration Technology - is one way of generating energy from wastes by burning the piles of
garbage to produce heat.
MRF
- it is where collected garbage is segregated in order to recover recyclables and
biodegradable materials.

MRF
Repair

- Materials recover facility


- means to fix slightly broken things to make them useful again.

Lesson 5
Physical Change - is a change in the form and appearance of a material, with its composition
remaining the same.
Phase Change
- a change in the physical state of a material brought about by change
in temperature.
- is an example of physical change.
Chemical Change - is a change in appearance and composition. A new product is formed, the
original material can no longer be identified.
Oxygen- Plays an important role in the burning process.
Oxidation- a chemical reaction that is aided by oxygen.
Evidences of Chemical Change
1. Formation of a new product
2. Formation of Gas
3. Release or absorption of heat
4. Formation of a precipitate
