Objective:
Describe how insecticides and pesticides are used
Values:

Handling materials with care

II. Subject Matter:

Insecticides and Pesticides
A. Science Concepts/Ideas:
Insecticide is a chemical poison used to kill harmful insects at home, such as cockroaches
and mosquitoes. It is applied with the use of spray guns and aerosol bombs.
There are three basic types of insecticides, namely: phosphates (malathion), carbomates, and
DDT ( dichlorodiphenyltrichlorothane)
Pesticide is a poison used in farms to effectively control pests such as stemborers. The use of
pesticide improves the yield of crops such as rice, corn, and sugarcane.
Pesticide is grouped into three, namely: herbicide, insecticide, and fungicide. Herbicide kills
harmful weeds. Insecticides destroy harmful insects in plants. Fungicide destroys fungi.
B. Processes:
Describing, Comparing, Communicating
C. Materials:
Empty containers of insecticide and pesticide; articles about insecticide pesticide

Objective:
Describe how soap is used.
Values:

Cleanliness and sanitation

II. Subject Matter:

Soap
A. Science Concepts/Ideas:
Another familiar product commonly found in the kitchen and bathroom is soap.
Toilet and laundry soaps are cleaning agents made of sodium salts, vegetable or animal fats,
and other chemicals.
Bar and liquid soaps are used for cleaning the face and the body. Some soaps contain
chemicals called germicides. These substances kill germs on the skin.
Powdered soap or detergents are commonly used for dishwashing or laundering. They cause
materials to get wet easily. They dissolve dirt and oil. Some detergents contain enzymes that
easily remove oil and stain from the soiled clothes.
Scouring powder is used to clean kitchen tiles, bathroom walls, and floors. It is made silica,
limestone and bleach. Bleach is used as a disinfectant and deodorizer or as a whitening agent.
B. Processes:
Describing, Communicating
C. Materials:
Empty packs of soap, detergents, liquid soap, etc.

II. Subject Matter:

Plastic
A. Science Concepts/Ideas:
Plastics are complex organic compounds that can be formed or molded by heat and pressure
into a variety of shapes, colors, textures, hardness, durability, and elasticity.
They are usually lightweight and resistant to environmental corrosion. They are good
insulators for heat and electricity.
Plastics now take the place of wood and metals in furniture making, building construction,
and parts of appliances, cars, and other household items. Plastic is also an excellent substitute
for paper and glass as containers and chassis.
