● Flammability (Burnability):
Some materials can catch fire
and burn when exposed to heat
or flame. For example, wood,
paper, and certain types of
plastics can burn. This burning
process is a chemical reaction
where the material combines
with oxygen in the air to
produce heat and light. It's
important to be cautious
around flammable materials
and to never play with fire.
● Reactivity with Other
Materials: Materials can react
with each other when they
come into contact. This reaction
can cause changes in the
materials involved. For
instance, when iron (a metal)
reacts with oxygen and
moisture in the air, it forms
rust. Similarly, when vinegar
(an acid) is mixed with baking
soda (a base), it produces
bubbles of carbon dioxide gas.
Understanding these reactions
helps us predict how materials
will behave when combined.
● Degradability and
Biodegradability: Materials can
break down or decompose over
time due to various factors such
as exposure to sunlight, air,
water, or microorganisms like
bacteria and fungi. Degradable
materials eventually break down
into smaller pieces, while living
organisms can break down
biodegradable materials into
simpler substances. For
example, food scraps, paper,
and certain types of plastics are
biodegradable, meaning they
can be broken down naturally
by bacteria and other
organisms in the environment.
2. Reflection on Learning
This activity is designed
to encourage Grade 4
students to reflect on the
chemical properties
of materials,
including flammability,
reactivity with other
materials, and degradability/
biodegradability. Through
guided reflection,

● Explain that today's activity will
focus on reflecting on these
properties and their importance.
Reflection Activity: Throughout the activity, provide

degradability/biodegradability.
● Ask each group to brainstorm
examples of materials or substances
related to their assigned topic.
Encourage them to think about
everyday items, materials found in
nature, and any relevant
experiences they may have had.
Provide prompts such as:
● "Think about materials that can
catch fire easily."
● "Consider substances that react
with other materials to produce
new substances."
● "Reflect on items that break down
over time, either naturally or with
the help of microorganisms."
● Have each group write their
examples on the index cards or sticky
notes. Group Sharing:
● After brainstorming, invite each
group to share their examples with
the class.
As each group presents, write their
examples on the chart paper or whiteboard
under the corresponding topics.
Reflection and Discussion:
● Facilitate a class discussion based
on the examples shared.
● Ask guiding questions such as:
✔ "Why is it important to
understand the flammability,
reactivity, and degradability
of materials?"
