oxidation of methanol
Commercial products: perfumes,
colognes and disinfectants
Toxic properties: causes irritation to
skin, eyes and respiratory tract

15. Flouride
The reduced form of flourine
Commercial products : use in mass
destruction, Teflon (non-stick
coating), city water (sodium flouride
originally used to flouridate water)
Toxic properties : sarin is the most
toxic form of flouride-used as a
weapon of mass destruction ;
flouride poisoning is lethal in low
doses (sodium flouride)

16. Hydrogen Peroxide
Naturally produced as a by product
of oxygen metabolism
Commercial products : Diluted
hydrogen peroxide (used to bleach
hair, used medically to clean wounds,
used by the FDA to control fungus
on fish and fish eggs, when mixed
properly can be used as a toothpaste
and an acne treatment, used as a
bleaching agent.
Toxic properties : irritation to eyes,
mucous membranes and skin,

17. Group Activity #2
(What’s Your Label?)10mins.
 Bring out your assign (Product label-
1commonly used by men and 1commonly
used by female). Read the information
printed on the product label and your
research about that product. Then in a bond
paper which will be provided by the teacher,
fill up the following information: Chemical
Composition; Mode of Action; Precautionary
Measures. Your leader will choose from the
members who will explain your output.(5mins)

18. Individual Activity #3
(Finding Chemicals)5mins.
I have to find all
chemicals
written
horizontally,
vertically,
diagonally, or in
backward
manner then
encircle it. I
only have 5
minutes to do it.
Alright!

19. Group Activity #4
(Promodizing!)15mins.
Each group will be given 5
examples of consumer
products. Each of the student
will promote the product by
explaining the good and proper
way of using it. They will be
given 5mins to prepare.

20. Let’s sum it up…(5mins.)
What are the common examples of
household products and its
active/major ingredients?
What are the common examples of
personal care products and its
active/major ingredients?

21. Assessment(5mins.)
What are the
active/major
ingredients of the
following products that
I will going to give to
you?

22. Assignment:
Research some other examples
of consumer products aside
from personal care and
household products and
identify its active/major
ingredients and the proper way
of using it.
