I will do my part, so it will not be gone.
Yes! It can harm everyone
But we will have to practice safety precautions as one.

F. Developing Mastery Individual Activity

(Leads to Formative
Assessment) Note: Practice the safety protocols while doing the activity.
(Explain) Choose the words inside the box if it is a beneficial effect to human
and write it inside the sun.

Vitamin D Good mood

damage immune system

Strong bones healthy body

can dry clothes

G. Finding Practical Group Activity

Application of concepts Setting of Group Activity Rules
and skills in daily living.
(Elaborate) Direction: Each group will be given real life scenario and they will make a
 poem, a song, drawing or act out their answer(depends on what was asked
in each scenario.

 Activity card #1 - Group 1

You will help your father in harvesting corn. What should you wear to
protect you from the intense sunlight?

live, it can cause our death too. Animals also eat plants.
There is no photosynthesis if there were no sun.
