Lesson 2: Matter: One Way of Preventing Non-Biodegradable Materials From Causing Pollution and Harming The Environment

LESSON 2: MATTER
 Atom – the smallest unit of matter.

 Mass – it is the amount of matter in an object
 Weight – It is another general property of matter.
 Volume – the amount of space an object takes up
 Gravity – is a force that pulls two objects towards each other.
 Molecule – when atoms join other atoms, they form a molecule.
 Matter – is anything that takes up space and has mass.
LESSON 3: THE THREE STATES OF MATTER
 Solid – the particles are closely packed together and arranged in a rigid structure that does not allow
much movement.
 Liquid – the particles are not closely packed together as those in a solid.
 Gas – the particles are free to move around. This is why gas have no definite shape or volume.
LESSON 4: THE PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF MATTER
 Hardness – refers to the measure of resistance of a material to scratch, deform, or break when
physical force is applied to it.
 Brittleness – is the ability or tendency of a hard material to fracture or break into smaller pieces upon
the application of force.
 Malleability – the property of a metal that allows it to be hammered, rolled, or shaped without breaking
and making pieces of jewelry and other ornaments.
 Ductility – a property of a solid material that allows it to be deformed or stretched thin like a wire
without breaking.
 Fluidity – the ability of matter to flow.
 Absorbency - the ability of material to take in or absorb water and other liquids.
 Ability to float or sink - is a physical property of matter that is dependent on the density of the
material.
 Buoyancy – ability of matter to float in liquids.
LESSON 5: THE CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF MATTER
 Flammability – Is the ability to burn.

 Corrosiveness – Is the wearing away or deterioration of a material due to chemical reactions.
 Toxicity – Is the chemical ability of a substance to harm or damage an organism.
 Explosiveness – Is the property that causes matter to explode burst violently.
 Decomposition – is a chemical property of matter wherein organic materials are broken down or
decomposed into simpler forms.
 Biodegradable – the term used to refer to matter that can be rapidly broken down through the action of
bacteria or other living things.
 Nonbiodegradable – the term used to refer to materials that either take a long time to decay or do not
decay at all.
 Recycling or reusing – one way of preventing non-biodegradable materials from causing
pollution and harming the environment.
CHAPTER 2: LESSON 1: PRODUCT AND PRODUCT LABELS
 Product – an item or a material purposely grown or created to be offered for sale. All kinds of products
are being sold everywhere.
 Product Labels – tells something about the product, such as its brand name, logo, and other important
information.
CHAPTER 2: LESSON 2: UNDERSTANDING FOOD LABELS
 Expiration date – refers to the date up to which a product is safe to consume or use. The expiration
date is sometimes indicated by the “Use by” date.
 Nutrition Facts – are provided to inform the consumer of the nutritional content or value of the food he
or she is buying.
 Percent Daily Value – tells the amount of certain nutrients a food product contains per serving.
 Amount Per Serving – is based on the amount of food that people generally consume.
 Serving Size – refers to the amount of food the product contains.
 Calories/Calorie - It is a unit of energy that measures how much energy a food product provides the
body.
 Total Fat – it tells how much fat is in one serving of food.
 Saturated Fat – are considered “bad” fats because they raise the Low-Density Lipoprotein or LDL
levels in the body.
 Trans Fat – it is found in animal products. It is also found in vegetable oils that have been specifically
treated, or hydrogenated, to be solid at room temperature.
 Unsaturated Fats – are often called “good” fats because they do not raise cholesterol levels.
 Cholesterol – it is an important nutrient in the body. The body uses it for different things, such as
producing Vitamin D and some hormones, and making important substances in the body.
 Total Carbohydrates – it tells you how much carbohydrate is in one food serving.
 Dietary Fiber – does not contain calories and is part of a healthy diet.
