6.3 Presentation
6.3.1 Discussion
➢ The teacher will use PowerPoint presentation and other teaching aids to discuss
about pollution and types of pollution. The teacher will direct the class to an
interactive discussion where exchanges of ideas among the students are solicited.
The following questions may be asked during the discussion:
✓ How have human activities contributed to air, water, soil, and noise
pollution?
✓ Identify solutions to prevent air, water, soil, and noise pollution in your
community?
➢ What do you know about pollution? List 5 adjectives that come to mind when you
hear the word pollution?

➢ The teacher will lead the class to point out that pollution may be defined as the
action or process of making land, water, and air, dirty and not safe or suitable for
use.
➢ The quality of the land for the food we grow, water we drink, and air with breath
is essential to our health and wellbeing. Each of us has a role in preventing
pollution. In this lesson, you will learn more about pollution, what it is, the impacts,
and ways to advocate for prevention of pollution.

➢ Pollution is not a new problem. During the middle ages, increased populations led
to unsanitary conditions caused by human and animal waste and garbage.

➢ For the group activity, choose two types of pollution that you would like to learn
more about.

➢ For each type of pollution that you chose, write the effects, and the strategies or
solution for the prevention of that particular pollution.
✓ Explain which pollution types you researched, the effects, and strategies
for prevention.

a letter to one of the organizations below that you think are most
appropriate to advocate for a pollution solution. In the letter, describe the
pollution, its impact on the health of the communication, and share an idea
that you have to prevent or stop the pollution.

6.3.2 Pair/Group Activity

➢ For the group activity, choose two types of pollution that you would like to
