Introductory Message
Welcome to TLE- PLUMBING NC 1 Grade 9
The Learning Activity Sheet is a product of the collaborative efforts of the

Schools Division of Kabankalan City and DepEd Regional Office VI - Western
Visayas through the Curriculum and Learning Management Division (CLMD). This is
developed to guide the learning facilitators (teachers, parents and responsible
adults) in helping the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Basic Education
Curriculum.
The Learning Activity Sheet is self-directed instructional materials aimed to

guide the learners in accomplishing activities at their own pace and time using the
contextualized resources in the community. This will also assist the learners in
acquiring the lifelong learning skills, knowledge and attitudes for productivity and
employment.
For learning facilitator:
The TLE- PLUMBING NC 1 Grade 9 Activity Sheet will help you facilitate the
leaching-learning activities specified in each Most Essential Learning Competency
(MELC) with minimal or no face-to-face encounter between you and learner. This will
be made available to the learners with the references/links to ease the independent
learning.
For the learner:
The TLE- PLUMBING NC 1 Grade 9 Activity Sheet is developed to help you

continue learning even if you are not in school. This learning material provides you
with meaningful and engaging activities for independent learning. Being an active
learner, carefully read and understand the instructions then perform the activities and
answer the assessments. This will be returned to your facilitator on the agreed
schedule.

 Economic use of materials
II. Background Information for Learners
Economic use of Materials
It is important to consider costs and economics at every stage of design, product

development, prototyping and manufacturing. A client / customer will have a significant
view on costs and potential profits, which is usually emphasized at the beginning of the
design process. Reducing costs, without a reduction in the quality of a product, should
be the aim of every designer.
Reducing costs can be beneficial to the environment. For instance, using cheaper
recycled materials, which leads to a cheaper final product, is both an advantage to the
manufacturer and customer. This approach also helps reduce the environmental impact
of manufacturing.
Further to this, the economic necessity to reduce costs and customer pressure on
manufacturers to protect the environment, often leads to innovation in design.
EXAMPLES OF REDUCING COSTS
RECYCLED MATERIALS:
When manufacturing my product I used quality recycled materials, where possible. The
materials were cheaper than new materials. Using recycled materials was a contribution
to protecting the environment.
SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS:
We all have the responsibility to use sustainable materials when manufacturing, to

protect the environment. I bought my materials from a retailer, who guarantees that they
are from a sustainable source. This means that for every tree cut down at least one is
planted. Also, I used ‘plastics’ that have been recycled OR can be recycled, when my
product reaches the end of its useful working lifetime.
ENERGY CONSUMPTION - MANUFACTURE:
At all stages of manufacture, I have tried to reduce the consumption of energy.

Machines in use have been turned off and hand tools and equipment have been used
where possible. Therefore, the cost of manufacture has been reduced.
ENERGY CONSUMPTION - LIFETIME USE:
Many products require electricity to work. Ensure that electrical devices are energy
efficient and that they turn themselves off, when not in use.
I REDUCED THE AMOUNT OF MATERIALS REQUIRED:
Before manufacturing my product, I carefully planned how the materials were prepared
so that waste was kept to a minimum
USING CARD TEMPLATES:
I required four MDF shapes for my product, all the same size and shape. I used a card
template to draw round, on a MDF board. I was able to minimize the distance / waste
between each of the parts, by adjusting the position of the template. This saved
materials and ensured very little waste, saving money and keeping the price of the
finished product low.
I USED QUALITY MATERIALS:
I selected good quality materials.
This means my product will withstand knocks and drops and resist damage.
My product will have a long working life, reducing the need for the customer to buy a
replacement product. In the long run, this will reduce costs to the customer.
I DESIGNED A REPAIRABLE PRODUCT:
I have designed my product so that it can be repaired, rather than scrapped or recycled.
The product can be dismantled with minimum use of tools and equipment and then
damaged parts can be replaced.
I RETHOUGHT / MODIFIED MY PRODUCT TO SAVE MATERIALS AND REDUCE

COSTS:
When manufacturing my product, I made the following changes to the design, to reduce
overall costs and to save materials

IV. Activity Proper
Activity 1
Directions: Identify the following. Tell what economic use of materials that is
being describe. Write your answer in separate of pad paper.
1. Many products require electricity to work. Ensure that electrical devices are
energy efficient and that they turn themselves off, when not in use.
2. This means my product will withstand knocks and drops and resist damage.
3. The materials were cheaper than new materials. Using recycled materials was a
contribution to protecting the environment.
4. We all have the responsibility to use sustainable materials when manufacturing,
to protect the environment.
5. Before manufacturing my product, I carefully planned how the materials were
prepared so that waste was kept to a minimum.
Activity 2
Directions: Write your own economic use of materials on how you used
your materials wisely and practically. Write it in at less 5 sentences. Write
your answer in separate sheet of pad paper. (Answers may vary on what
students perception)
Additional Activity:
In plumbing, imagine that you will work a kitchen sink. Your task is to list down all the
materials needed in assembling a kitchen sink. In this activity show how you apply your
economic use of materials. Answers may varries in students answers.
V. Reflection
1. Why economic use of materials are so important? What it can be distribute

to your productivity?
