A. Introduction Day 1 Earth, being the only planet to support life, depends on its four major spheres
containing different elements that interact to give off the suitable environment for
every living organism to exist. These four major spheres are the hydrosphere,
atmosphere, geosphere, and biosphere. These four major spheres got their names
from the Greek words that symbolize what they are made of.
Planet Earth is divided into different spheres that interact with each other to
achieve a common goal, that is, to support life on the planet. This relationship that
connects the whole of the Earth is known as the Earth system.

A. Introduction Day 1 Rocks are formed from an aggregation of one or more minerals and other
substances that are cohered into a solid structure and is occurring naturally.
They are classified into three main groups based on how they were formed. They
can either be igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic.
For example, rock can contain organic remains and mineraloids apart from
regular mineral formation. Moreover, other rocks can be defined by proportions
of quartz, alkali feldspar, and plagioclase feldspar. The other mineral in the rock
are termed accessory, and do not greatly affect the bulk composition of rock.
Moreover, rocks can also be composed of organically derived carbon. Some
mineral species and groups that are much more abundant than others; are

5
termed the rock-forming minerals.

B. Development Day 1 Energy Resources

o Geothermal Energy
It is the energy harnessed from the heat coming from the Earth. The
resources of the heat range from the shallow ground to hot water and
hot rocks a few miles beneath the Earth’s surface and down to the
extremely high temperatures of molten rock or magma.

o Hydroelectric Power
Hydroelectric power is any kind of power that takes advantage of the
energy output from the physical flow of water. This category of energy
includes hydroelectric dams and reservoirs, run-of-the-river turbine set-
ups, pumped storage projects, tidal plants, and underground waterways.

Water Resources

o Properties of Water

12
Water is one of a kind substance because it can exist in all three physical
states: solid, liquid, and gas. When it becomes a solid, it becomes less
dense and will float on its liquid form. With a high specific heat index,
water can store a lot of heat energy.

o Bodies of Water
Waters are areas of salty or fresh, large or small water, which are diverse
from one another in many ways. The largest are oceans, while the
smallest are streams.

IV. LEARNING PHASES Suggested Learning Activities


Timeframe

A. Introduction Day 1 The Water Cycle or Hydrologic Cycle is the movement of water from Earth to the
atmosphere and back again. This cycle goes on and on and it never stops.
Evaporation takes place when heat energy changes liquid water to water vapor.
Plants and animals also release water vapor into the atmosphere as they
breathe. Condensation occurs when water vapor in the upper atmosphere cools
and changes back to liquid water. Water needs to cling to dust particles in order
to form clouds. When clouds become saturated with water, they fall back down
to the Earth as a rain, snow, sleet or hail, it called precipitation.

tab=ko&sort=13&direction=a

B. Development Day 1 How Human Activities Affect Water Quality:

 Agriculture
Water quality can be greatly affected when farmers treat their crops
with chemical pesticides and chemicals.

 Littering
Wastes like plastic bags, paper, bottles and cans which are thrown on
the ground or in the rivers and other bodies of water can cause
pollution.

 Chemical by-products
Dripping oil from vehicles or cooking oil into the drain can cause serious
problems in the rivers and eventually at the water purification sites.

 Industry
Some industries have been given permission to discharge their wastes
into nearby rivers or streams. There are some industries which do not
follow the rules or which have not acquired permission to release their
wastes into the river.

Soil Resources

Soil is semi renewable resource because it forms very slowly and under, ideal
conditions, can be continually replenished, given enough time. But when soil
erosion out spaces soil formation, as often occurs, soil becomes a nonrenewable

16
resource.

Major Problem related to Soil Erosion:


 Water Erosion
Water erosion occurs in various forms, depending on the type and
gradient of sloping land, the soil material, and the amount and intensity
of rainfall.
 Wind Erosion
Wind erosion depends mainly on the nature of the soil, wind velocities
at different time of the year, soil moisture conditions and land relief
 Non-agricultural Use of Prime Agricultural Land
Mining of fertile topsoil for brick casting, construction of flood
protection embankments and earth fill, reducing the agricultural
potential of affected land.
 Soil Nutrient Degradation
A significant portion of cultivated soils are low in certain important plant
nutrients.

Learning Task 1: In a separate sheet of paper, explain how different activities


affect the quality and availability of water for human use.
C. Engagement Day 2 Learning Task 2: Identify human activities, such as farming, construction of
structures, and waste disposal, that affect the quality and quantity of soil. List

Timeframe

A. Introduction Day 1 Soil erosion is the physical movement of sil particles from one location to
another, primariy due to forces of water or wind. The three main phases of soil
erosion are detachment, transport and deposition. The severity of erosion
depends upon the quantity of soil detached and the capacity of the wind or water
force to transport it (Morgan, 1995). As both detachment and transport require
energy (deposition occurs when energy is no longer available), the ability of soils
to erode is based on ‘erosivity’, the enrgy of the eroding agent, and ‘erodibility’,
the soil’s susceptibility to erosion.

 Non - biodegradable

3Rs
 Recycling
 Reuse
 Reduction

Compost – It is a mixture of organic wastes that is combined with soil.

Sanitary Landfill – It is the final disposal site of all the wastes that were not
removed from segregation and sorting. It is not just a place for dumping
wastes.

Liquid Wastes

For industrial and commercial waste water, a custom-fit wastewater facility


should be designed and used to ensure that their liquid wastes are free from

23
contaminants before discharging to their final outfall. In cities and other
larger communities where liquid wastes come from toilets and kitchens, a
simple wastewater treatment facility is recommended .

STP Treatment Process


 Primary Sewage Treatment
 Secondary Sewage Treatment
 Gaseous Wastes

Better Ways To Reduce Or Avoid Obvious Emissions Like Dark Smoke:

 Conserve Energy
 Use Catalytic Converter in Cars
 Engage in Carpooling, using Public transportation or Bike, or Walk
 Avoid Burning
 Use Water-based Sprays or Solvent-free Pain

Timeframe

A. Introduction Day 1 Climate change, ocean acidification, permafrost melting, habitat loss,
eutrophication, storm water runoff, air pollution, contaminants, and invasive
species are among many problems facing ecosystems.
Caring for the environment is easier said than done. Most of our material needs
can be obtained from the environment, but the activities involved in obtaining
these material needs result in polluting the environment. Human activity
damages the biosphere. Over-population, destruction of habitats for agriculture
and mining, pollution from industry and transportation, and many other
activities all contribute to the damage of the environment. In this module, we
are to understand and learned the impacts of wastes on our health and
environment.

B. Development Day 1 Human Activity and the Environment

Destructive Consequences of Human Activity

Air Pollution (Gaseous)

 Supended Particles
 Nitrogen Dioxide
 Sulfur Dioxide

Water Pollution (Liquid)

Point source occur when harmful substances are emitted directly into a body of
water.

Land Pollution (Solid)

Soil pollution is mainly due to chemicals in herbicides (weed killers) and


pesticides (poisons which kill insects and other invertebrate pests)

Agricultural Revolution → Settled Agriculture

27
Settled agriculture has increased food supply that led to support more people,
but decreases the environment quality

 City Development and Urbanization


 Industrial Revolution
 Information and Globalization Revolution

Positive Effects of Information and Globalization Revolution


Allows us to respond to environmental problems more effectively and rapidly.
Allows us to use remote sensing satellites to survey resources and monitor
changes in the world’s forests, grassland, oceans, rivers, polar regins, cities
and other system.
Reduces pollution and environmental degradaton by substituting data for
materials and energy and communication for transportation.
Allows environmental researchers and activists to exchange data and
information rapidly.

Negative Effects of Information and Globalization Revolution


Information technology could cause confusion, distraction and sense of
hopelessness as rapid growing environmental information are used by most
household communication.
Increases environmental degradation and decreases cultural diversity as a
globalized economy spreads over most of the earth and homogenizes the
world’s cultures including disease.
Creates and introduces new technologies much faster than we can evaluate
their impacts.

Infectious Disease
Spread by air, water, food, body fluids, some isects, and other nonhuman
carrier. (vector)
Human activities such as International travelling can rapidly spread diiseases
such as flu, measles, chlorella, TB, smallpox and AIDS.
Migration to uninhabited rural areas and deforestation in tropical country can
expose to disease spread by vectors such as malaria.
