2. Greetings
3. Checking of Attendance.

B. Elicit
Let's have a game, I will show some pictures and answer the every picture presented.

C. Engage

Everything that surrounds us is part of the environment. This includes living things like plants and
animals, beaches and mountains, the air we breathe, the sunlight that provides warmth, and the water
that we use in our homes, schools, and businesses.

However, the world we live today is very different. We are experiencing an increase in temperature and
the landscapes and seas change drastically.

D. Explore

To understand our lesson, let’s have an activity. I will show you a designated learning area. After 3
minutes, You will proceed to the next learning area until you finish visiting all learning areas. Let us start
the activity.

E. Explain

Let us examine and hear your observations in the activity. All of you shall have a designated speaker to
present what you've observed in a learning area. Each of you will only present your observations.

F. Elaborate

Global warming and climate change refer to an increase in average global temperatures. Natural events
and human activities are believed to be contributing to an increase in average global temperatures. This
is caused primarily by increases in “greenhouse” gases such as Carbon Dioxide (CO2).

Human activities contribute a great amount in the increase of greenhouse gases. In order to lessen our
impact on the environment, we can do several things. We can save our trees through reforestation and
recycling paper. Through this, we can also help our animals to thrive and survive in their environments.

G. Evaluation

Directions: Write T if the statement is true and F if false.

1. Planting a trees can have the greatest impact on reducing the threat of global warming.
2. The rainforests provide or nurture biodiversity.
3. Deforestation is about planting trees.
4. Melting of ice is not an effect of global warming.
5. Using energy-saving appliances leaves less human impact in the environment.

H. Assignment

Research about what is the possible picture of the past, present, and future of the environment and
make a collage about it using recycled materials.
