according to Their Properties

by: ZION JOY V. SANTERO

Old Sagay Elementary School
 Objective

1.Observe proper ways of

disposing waste materials by
sorting them according to its
properties

2. Identify ways of disposing

properties
 Review
Identify whether the material is
decaying or non-decaying

1. Plastic bag Non-decaying

2. Scratch paper decaying
3. Tin can Non-decaying
4. Styro cup Non-decaying

 What to do?

1. Get the materials that you need.

2. Place all the materials on your working area.
3. Sort the materials according to their
properties.
4. Observe and describe the characteristics and

description in Chart 1
 What to do?

5. After describing each of the materials based

on their characteristics and properties, identify
each of the materials whether they are kitchen
waste, garden waste, or factory returnable.

 Remember:

Pollution- the action or process of

making land, water, air dirty and not
safe or suitable to use.
Biodegradable- capable of being
slowly destroyed and broken down
into very small parts by natural
processes.
 Remember:

To dispose the materials properly is to use

a technique or procedure we call the
TOTAL RECYCLING SCHEME, which
utilizes waste into factory returnables,
fertilizers, feeds, fermentables, fuel,
fine crafts and filling materials. These
are what we identified as then multi-Fs
Recycling scheme.
 Remember:

Recycling is collecting, processing

and manufacturing materials instead
of throwing them away. Recycling
lessen the amount of garbage we
have to dispose.
 Application:

Why disposing of used plastics and

rubbers by burning is not a good
idea?
 Evaluation:
Identify ways of disposing the following
materials. Choose your answer from the box.
A. Make a compost C. factory returnable
B. Recycle/Reuse D. feed to pets
