Introductory Message
This Self-Learning Module (SLM) is prepared so that you, our dear learners,
can continue your studies and learn while at home. Activities, questions, directions,
exercises, and discussions are carefully stated for you to understand each lesson.
Each SLM is composed of different parts. Each part shall guide you step-by-
step as you discover and understand the lesson prepared for you.
In addition to the material in the main text, Notes to the Teacher are also
provided to our facilitators and parents for strategies and reminders on how they can
best help you on your home-based learning.
Please use this module with care. Do not put unnecessary marks on any part
of this SLM. Use a separate sheet of paper in answering the exercises and tests, and
read the instructions carefully before performing each task.
If you have any questions in using this SLM or any difficulty in answering the
tasks in this module, do not hesitate to consult your teacher or facilitator.

What I Need to Know
The waste that we generate per day is more than what landfills can accommodate.
This is why some wastes are left uncollected in different places. Uncollected waste
causes land, water, and air pollution; and any form of pollution is harmful to all
organisms. Therefore, we should practice 5Rs to manage waste in the environment and
help make our surroundings clean and tidy.
One of these 5Rs is recycling which involves collecting and processing materials
that would be thrown away as trash and turning them into new products with different
use or purpose from its original form. Recycling can be beneficial to our community and
to the environment.
Why should we recycle? What benefits do we get from recycling?
Recycling reduces the waste sent to designated dumping areas or landfills. It
results in the conservation of our natural resources such as lumber, water, and other
minerals. It also prevents pollution by reducing the need to collect new materials.
After going through this module, you will design a product out of local and
recyclable materials to make useful products by understanding the waste management
practices 5Rs: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Repair or Recover.
The module is divided into three lessons namely:
• Lesson 1: How Can We Manage Our Waste: The 5Rs Technique
• Lesson 2: Importance of Practicing the 5Rs
• Lesson 3: Designing a Product Out of Local and Recyclable Materials
At the end of this module, you will be able to:
• Describe how people manage their waste through the 5Rs: Reduce, Reuse,
Recycle, Repair or Recover
• Recognize the importance of reduce, reuse, recycle, repair, or recover in waste
management
• Design products out of recyclable solid or liquid materials to make useful
products
Note: Use a separate sheet for your answers in all the activities in this module

CO_Q1_Science5_Module3
What is It
What are the different ways of managing waste? What are the specific
materials that can be reduced, reused, recycled, repaired, or recovered?
There are strategies that can be used in handling waste materials found in our
home and community. This technique is composed of five (5) ways we can manage
our wastes and known as the 5Rs.
(1) Reducing – decreasing the number of materials to be used, for exemple using
alternative materials such as eco-bags instead of plastic cellophane to
minimize wastes from plastics;
(2) Reusing – to use again the materials for the same purpose such as using old but
usable shoes;
(3) Recycling – producing new product out of discarded materials such as making
decoration (vase, figurines) from used/scrap papers;
(4) Recovering – making the most out of the waste by regenerating energy such
as using peelings of fruits and vegetables as plant fertilizers; and
(5) Repairing – fixing broken things so that they can be used again such as
sewing and mending old clothes.
Now, think of some situations in your home or community that you have
observed or experienced that use the 5Rs techniques. Have you practiced using the
5Rs techniques at home? In your community? If yes, you and your family are
certainly caring for the environment! Congratulations!

Importance of Practicing

What’s In
What's New
Directions: Study the pictures below and answer the questions that follow.
Reuse - it means to use again for the same purpose the materials as much as
possible.
Repair - is fixing or restoring broken items so that these will be used again.
Recover - it means taking energy or materials from wastes to be converted into new
resources.
Waste management is important for us and for the environment. This leds to
the conservation of natural resources and can save space in landfills. We can be
profitable from it by selling recyclable and recycled materials. It also decreases the
amount of waste for disposal which thereby prevents the effects of pollution. Waste
management is also important for public health.

What's New
Directions: Read the situation below then answer the question and do the task that
follow.
Justine noticed that most of his classmates drink bottled drinks during
recess. One morning their teacher told them to make a recycled product for their
Science project. He decided to collect the empty bottles in the recycle bin for his
project.
• What product can he make out of the empty plastic bottles?
• Draw the product you can think of.
What is It
The ultimate goal of the 5Rs waste management is to free planet Earth from
any kind of garbage, referred to as zero waste. Each “R” focuses on a way to achieve
“zero waste”.
Recycling is one of the simple things that you can do which results to a positive
impact for the environment. Recycling is important to the natural environment and
us. We must act fast as the amount of waste we create is increasing all the time.
13
CO_Q1_Science5_Module3
What items can and cannot be recycled?
Almost all materials can be recycled depending upon its physical condition –
wet or dry, whole or broken/cut to pieces, fragile or durable, among others.
Items that can be cut into pieces include paper, glass bottles/jars, plastics,
clothes, metal cans, etc. Meanwhile, items that can’t be recycled include used plastic
wraps or bags, disposable diapers, syringe or medical waste, broken bulbs, etc.
Waste segregation is important because it reduces the impact the waste has
on the environment and also the health issues that can occur from improperly
disposal of waste and toxins. Waste segregation helps us organize the waste and we
can easily take the materials for recycling and those materials applicable for the
other 5Rs technique.
