ENGAGE

B. Establishing a purpose for the lesson

Read and Post

Each set of learners (3-4members) will be given different pictures with a message to read. One representative will
post it on the instawall/wallgram/instastory of the day. The learners will then say something about the
message/quotation assigned to their row. Teacher will select 4-5 responses.
EXPLORE

EXPLAIN

D. Discussing new concepts and practicing new skills #1

Unlocking of terms

1. Sustainability- process of maintaining change in a balanced environment, in which the exploitation of resources,
the direction of investments, the orientation of technological development and institutional change are all in harmony
and enhance both current and future potential to meet human needs

2. Conservation- sustainable use and management of natural resources including wildlife, water, air, and earth
deposits

3. Preservation- attempts to maintain the present condition of the areas of the Earth
 4. Biodiversity- the variety of life forms

The forests are very rich in biodiversity. They provide us with the supply of food, fibers, medicines, and timber.
Forests also serve as habitats of plants and animals. When trees in a forest are cut, the soil quality changes and it
becomes susceptible to agents of erosion. The forest climate likewise changes since the area that has been cleared of
trees is exposed to intense sunlight. As a result, plants and animals may die, trees no longer grow, and habitats shrink.

Ask: Where do we get water?

The supply of fresh water for our daily use comes from watersheds that drain into streams, rivers, and lakes.
Excessive deposition of sediments at the bottom of lakes and rivers make them shallower, killing the plants and animals
inhabiting the environment.

Ask:What are the causes of pollution?

Pollution tremendously affects our life quality. Commercial or industrial establishments, and domestic or
household activities make nearby lakes and rivers as “waste sinks”. Wastes are dispose in the sewage system and end
up in bodies of water. Agricultural activities like the use of excessive fertilizers, pesticides and deforestation create a
surplus of nutrients which overfertilizes the land or water resource, a phenomenon called eutrophication. Sulfur dioxide
emitted from the combustion of fossil fuels like coal and petroleum from vehicles including cars, jeeps, motorcycles,
airplanes cause immense amount of air pollution. Improper waste disposal can result to land, water and air pollution.
Noise pollution affects plants and animals too, which can force species to abandon their habitat.

E. Discussing new concepts and practicing new skills # 2

Ask:Can we do something to achieve sustainability of our natural resources?

What are the ways we can conserve and preserve our natural resources?

1. Reduce, Reuse and Recycle

Food for Thought: R R R

We need to know three sets of important R's. In the field of education, the 3 r's of Reading wRiting and
aRithmetic. In our personal lives and development, I think the 3 R's we need would be RESPONSIBILITY- within
ourselves, our family, to the community and to our creator. R for Rice or the food/nutrients that we need to fulfill
our responsibilities and duties, and lastly R for rest. We also need to relax at times for us to replenish our energy to
be able to perform the other R's in our lives..

2. Observe proper waste disposal

3. Plant more trees

4. Be involved in activities for the environment

5. Be a responsible human being

F. Developing mastery

( Leads to Formative Assessment)

Stand up and for pictures that show conservation or preservation of natural resources and remain
seated, raise your arms in position for pictures that show harm to natural resources.
ELABORATE

G. Finding practical applications of concepts and skills in daily living.

Ask: What will happen if we do not conserve and preserve our natural resources?

Here are some problems and disasters that have become prevalent:

H. Making generalizations and abstractions about the lesson

Show music video from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNfz0vSHjEU

Ask: After watching the music video and listening to the song masdan mo ang kapaligiran, what are your realizations?
What lessons have you learned?

We must not blame nature for the problems, calamities and disasters which resulted from careless,harmful human
activities and mismanagement of our natural resources.

EXTEND

J. Additional activities for application or remediation

1. Research on Philippine Republic Acts(RA) which are involved in the conservation and preservation of natural
resources/environment. Write the title of the republic act and a short description about the said RA. Place your answers
on your Science Notebook.

2. Think Act and Share- Think of a way that you can do to conserve/preserve the natural resources. Then, do it
today. Share it using your social media account and post #everydayisearthday. For those who do not have the social
media accounts, you may submit any mode of proof like a picture,video, a certificate, etc.

3. Group Performance Task- Each group will create an output showing conservation and preservation of
