Subject Matter: RECYCLABLE MATERIALS

Competency: Recognize the importance of recycle, reduce, reuse, recover
and repair in waste management. (S5-MT-le-g-3)

No. of Days One (1) day
Background
Nowadays, we are facing an urgent issue that the temperature of the earth is
increasing. What’s causes this phenomena? Is the global warming? Hence, what
should we do to help reducing this problem? The only thing that we should do is
coming out with some solutions. The simple and easy thing that we could do is
taking part in the activities of recycling or seminars involving about the benefits of
recycling.
Practicing the 3Rs (reduce, reuse, recycle) every day is not only important for
a healthy environment but also a good method of waste management. Recycling is
very important. It helps us reduce the pollution caused by waste, and reduce the
need for raw materials so that the rainforests can be preserved.

Competency: Recognize the importance of recycle, reduce, reuse, recover, and

Objective: At the end of this lesson, you will be able to make a survey of
most common recyclable materials found at home, classrooms,

 Conduct survey of most common recyclable materials found at
home, classrooms, and in the community.
Background
Managing waste is every one’s responsibility. We live in a beautiful world. It is

our duty to protect, preserve, and conserve our environment.
When you throw away a material, you just remove it from the house, but it
does not disappear. Shape or form might change but it could still present somewhere
else. The more waste we discarded, the more trash piles up.
Recyclable materials are usually found in our homes, school and in the
community. Those materials are very useful to us if only we can manage to recycle
them. Recycling is one way of helping and protecting our environment to lessen the
pollution and to avoid harmful effects on humans and in the environment.
To recycle means to use the material again in another way or for another
purpose.
Practicing the 5rs makes our environment clean and beautiful.

Background
Managing waste is every one’s responsibility. We live in a beautiful world. It is
our duty to protect, preserve, and conserve our environment.
When you throw away a material, you just remove it from the house, but it
does not disappear. Shape or form might change but it could still present somewhere
else. The more waste we discarded, the more trash piles up.
Recyclable materials are usually found in our homes, school and in the
community. Those materials are very useful to us if only we can manage to recycle
them. Recycling is one way of helping and protecting our environment to lessen the
pollution and to avoid harmful effects on humans and in the environment.

GUIDE CARD
___________________________________________________________________
Did you know that there two good reasons why recycling is needed? First if
we recycle our trash the garbage dumps will not filled quickly. Second, recycling can
be of giving opportunities to create new products out of those recyclable materials.
The benefits are far reaching and everybody gains when people adopt
recycling as an everyday habit. Whether it is a community effort to help beautify a
dirty neighborhood street, or on a larger scale to help a business save hundreds to
thousands of pesos on waste management, the advantages of well-maintained
recycling program are endless.
The waste we generate everyday is more than what landfills can
accommodate. That is why some wastes are left uncollected in different places.
Therefore, we should practice 5Rs to manage wastes and lessen the environmental
problems. And there are ways to help in recycling. First, get involved with local
recycling programs, volunteer to educate a class at a local elementary school.
Kids can be huge advocates for the war on trash easily holding everyone
around them accountable for the things they throw in the garbage. Take some time to
go around and pick up trash in your own neighborhood or surround ones. If your job
does not have a receptacle for recyclable products, ask if they wouldn’t mind
providing one, or if they mind you providing one yourself. Make sure to practice
proper recycling habits in your own life, nothing works better than leading by
example. As a kid you can make recyclable materials beautiful and useful if you
know how to recycle them. Instead of buying things we need, we should try to create
useful things that we need from waste materials. In this way we can save money and
preserve the environment.
In this lesson we are going to explore and learn the different ways on how to
make the recyclable materials into useful one.
