Based from the result, let the students identify the common words they usually associate with the word
“RESOURCES”. Ask the students to define RESOURCES based from word cloud displayed from the
mentimeter.
Discuss that resources can be classified into two, those that are made by humans and those that came
from nature. Introduce that the Philippines is considered rich in natural resources. Let the students recall
what they learned from the previous activity that the Philippines is surrounded by large bodies of water
which are the sources of seasonal rain
Explain that although seasonal rains like typhoons and heavy rainfall may cause landslides, flooding and
health related problems, the water it brings are necessary to sustain life.
2) ACQUIRE Activity 2. Discussion using Powerpoint Presentation and videos
Ask the students where water in their community comes from.
(They might give answers like rainfalls, the river, deep well, or spring. But ask where the water from these
sources came from.)
Provide information about watersheds. You may use the book entitled “Watersheds Sheltering Life”,
2010, published by National Power Corporation (NAPOCOR) for pictures and discussion of important
watersheds in the country.

311
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYwa_0w1jGY
Identify the different watershed in the Philippines and in the province. Ask the students the importance of
watershed.
Explain that these watersheds are not only used to supply water to the community but they are also used
for irrigation and power generation.
Emphasize that watersheds are not only just water but it is a home of different floras and faunas. (Show
different ecosystems that are related to watershed) A watershed may include forest, grasslands, swamps,
marshes and other habitats.
Discuss how rich the Philippines in terms of biodiversity. The country is one of the mega diverse countries
due to right temperature and abundant rainfall. This means that our country has high diversity of plants
and animals, both land and in water. Include in the discussion the number of species and the endemic
species that can only be found in the country.
312
3) APPLY, PRACTICE, FORMATIVE Before performing the activity, ask the students the different factors that affect the health of a watershed
ASSESSMENT and why do we still experience drought especially during summer if there is abundant rainfall to feed our
water sheds.
Ask what situation will result in lack of water supply in communities and the possible effects on people,
plants, animals, and the physical environment.

Where to mine?
Let the students do an activity entitled Where are the minerals deposits in the Philippines?
(Grade 7 Science: Learner’s Material Second Part, pp 101-105)
.
Remind the students to fill in the column on table based on their observations from the 3 maps that show
the locations of mineral deposits, volcanoes, trenches and faults in the Philippines.
Let the students present their findings to the class. You can display a large map so that the students can
see or point where these mineral deposits are located. Ask the student to make a generalization of the
location of these mineral deposits.
Explain why the Philippines is listed as the 5th mineralized country in the world. Enumerate the different
metallic minerals found in the country. Elicit ideas about the uses of these metallic minerals. (ex. gold,
copper, chromite, iron, nickel, cobalt and platinum).
(You can also show these video Mineral Deposits in the Philippines - Science (Earth and Space)

327
Discuss the importance of mineral resources in the growth and development a country’s. Ask the students
why the Philippines is not rich as a nation since we have a lot of mineral resources. Emphasize that
although we have a lot of these mineral resources, there is an absence of technology in the country to
recover the metals from the ores. The country exports the ore to the other country, then buy these metals
at a higher cost.
Let the students summarize the core ideas. Explain that most metallic mineral deposits in the Philippines
are found near volcanoes, faults and trenches. Ask the students why mineral deposits are located in those
places
Explain that the richness of the Philippines in terms of mineral resources is being attributed to its location
in the so called Pacific Ring of Fire. Give brief description about the area. Ask the students what are those
triangles in the map. Ask the students why are there minerals where there are volcanoes?
328
Show a video on the formation of minerals. Describe the formation of metallic ores from the melting
metal-containing rocks. Explain that metallic minerals deposits such as copper, gold, silver, lead, and zinc
are associated with magmas found deep within the roots of extinct volcanoes.

your plan to the class. (This activity involves you in hands-on activities that help students learn more about
reducing waste, reusing materials instead of throwing them away, recycling, composting, and conserving,
natural resources and energy. The activities can include: conducting a "waste-free lunch" or
building art materials out of cans, bottles, and other recyclable trash. It may include river cleanup, trail
maintenance, or tree planting or mix these activities with a poster making contest for use in the campaign
on non-use of plastic bags for shopping and/or marketing.
4. Based on the group presentation, decide which part in the plans will be adopted or adapted to make a
class plan. The plan should consider the following:
• Easy to follow
• Who will be responsible for making the plan happen
• What should be done if the people responsible for making the plan happen will not or cannot do it
• What natural resources will be conserved
• Schedule of activities to include monitoring
• Why you think this plan is the best idea

II. ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS:
1. How does the tilt of the earth on its axis, revolution, the position of the sun in the sky cause the change in seasons?
378
Let the students describe what they saw in the video. Ask if all places on earth experience four seasons.
Recall previous lessons regarding the temperate zone. Explain that Philippines belongs to the tropical
region and it does not experience this kind of change in seasons.
Let them recall what they learned in elementary science about the two seasons in the Philippines, rainy
and dry. Ask what months the Philippines experiences cold and warm weather. Explain that seasons
follow each other regularly and we can predict what months is the rainy or dry season.
Ask the students why are there seasons and why the seasons change in a regular manner? Why do the
seasons change at practically the same time every year?
Discuss the answers in the guide questions. Explain the effect of the tilt of the earth affect the amount of
sunlight received by different places on earth.
Differentiate direct rays and slanting rays. Ask which one delivers more heat to the ground.
379
Activity 3 Simulation
1. Explain that the seasons change because the direct rays of the Sun shift from one hemisphere to the
other as the Earth goes around the Sun. Whichever hemisphere receives the direct rays of the Sun, that
hemisphere will experience summer. In the meantime, the other hemisphere will receive oblique rays and
it will be winter there.(Use these web based application to discuss how the tilt of the earth’s axis and its
revolution around the causes the changing seasons.)

Let the students present their output to the class.
Explain that the occurrences of eclipse bring fear to some and related to many legends and myths. Some
consider eclipse as a bad omen.
Ask which among the beliefs collected do you consider true and have scientific bases?
Explain that in science, explanations should be supported with evidences. (Do not correct yet the
misconceptions)
2) ACQUIRE To understand the occurrence of eclipse, recall previous lesson on the formation of shadow by performing
a teacher demonstration activity.
Ask if there are also shadows in outer space? To answer the questions, let the students perform another

lunar eclipse) and how they occur.
386
http://cse.ssl.berkeley.edu/bmendez/ay10/2002/notes/pics/bt2lf0224_a.jpg
Ask the students why don’t we observe monthly eclipses if it takes about one month for the moon to
complete its trip around the earth. Explain that Moon’s orbit is slightly inclined 50 from the plane of the
orbit of the Earth. There are times that the moon is sometimes higher or lower than the Earth as it
revolves around it. In these situations no eclipse will occur because the shadow of the moon does not fall
on the earth.
Go back to the discussion on their output on the list of practices and beliefs related to eclipse. Correct
those misconceptions they have written in the activity. They should realize some beliefs attributed to
eclipses have no scientific bases. There are also beliefs that have scientific bases. Emphasize also their
roles in educating others about eclipses.
