2. Explain the effects of same human activities on natural resources using the situations given.

 What are things you have observed in the video?

Answer: Student’s answers vary
 How lucky we are in the Philippines to have such things, what can you associate with the word
“resources”?
Answer: Student’s answers vary

Based on your answers, we can define resources as things used by the people in order to survive or satisfy
needs.
 Anybody who wants to give examples of resources?
Answer: Student’s answers vary

Resources such as Air, Water, Plants, Animals, Soil, Rocks, Minerals, Crude Oil, and other Fossil Fuels,
Sunlight and Wind are considered as natural resources because they are already available in the nature.

Now since we are talking about resources, Philippines as an archipelago, is considered rich in natural resources.

Let’s name out the natural resources of our country.

We are blessed with the presence of different water forms.
 What are these water forms?
 What is the importance of these water forms?
Answer: Student’s answers vary

WATER FORM IN THE PHILIPPINES

 Bays
 Rivers
 Lakes
 Falls
 Gulfs
 Straits
 Swamps
These bodies of water support the survival of diverse organisms for food as well as for economic activities.

The presence of water in a specific environment is said to be accountable for supporting high biodiversity in
that area. Biodiversity means the presence of various plants and animals in a particular habitat.

 Can you name some of the plants and animals we can find in our country?
Answer: Student’s answers vary

Since our country is rich also in biodiversity. Philippines is considered to be home of endemic species. When
we say endemic species, these are species which can be found only in a certain area and not in any other places.
  What endemic species do you know which exist only in the Philippines?
Answer: Student’s answers vary.

 Where can we find them?

Answer: Student’s answers vary.

 We also have mineral deposits in the country. What are the minerals that you know?
Answer: Student’s answers vary.

 Where these minerals are located or can be found?

Answer: Student’s answers vary.

Philippine mineral deposits are classified as either metallic or non-metallic.

METALLIC MINERALS
1. Gold
2. Copper
3. Chromite
4. Iron
5. Manganese
6. Nickel
NON-METALLIC MINERALS
1. Sand
2. Clay
3. Limestone
4. Marble
5. Silica

 Where do we usually see metals?

Answer: Student’s answers vary.

Mineral deposits can be found were volcanoes or trenches are present. We have many volcanoes in the
Philippines and most of them are active.

 Can you name some of the famous volcanoes in our country?

Answer: Student’s answers vary.

Because of the presence of numerous volcanoes in our place, our country belongs to the “Pacific Ring of Fire”.

 Aside from that we also have energy resources. What are some of these energy resources?
Answer: Student’s answers vary.

ENERGY RESOURCES
1. Solar Energy
2. Geothermal Energy
3. Hydrothermal Energy
4. Wind Energy
 5. Natural Gas

 Do we have examples of the energy resources in our place?

Answer: Student’s answers vary.

PRACTICE

We have already familiarized ourselves with the natural resources we have in our country.

Today, we are going to brainstorm on how people destroy natural resources.

Now, I want everybody to group themselves into 5 groups.

INSTRUCTION OF THE ACTIVITY

I will be showing you same illustration. I will show a “BEFORE” and “AFTER” of a certain situation or
activities. Afterwards, you are going to determine the effects of these activities to our natural resources. Take
note of the group number in the illustration. Each group have their own assigned situation based on the
illustration.

I will be giving first an envelope with a cartolina and pen inside. On the cartolina, there is a column for human
activity that is written and on the other column is the effects. You are going to write down the effects on the
cartolina provided under “EFFECTS”. A leader or member of the group will present their in the class. You are
going to discuss the human activities and its effect in front of the class.

Group Human Activity Effects

number
When roads are built, mountains are
Group 1 blown off using dynamite.

Rice fields are turned into residential

Group 2 or commercial center.

People cut too many trees for lumber

Group 3 and paper or building houses.
 More factories are being built to keep
Group 4 us up with the demands of a past
growing population and
industrialization.
Too much mining and quarrying for
Group 5 the purpose of getting precious metals
and gravel/stone.

Now that you already visualize the way people destroy natural resources, you can now start writing down the
effects. Let’s do this for 10 minutes.
After performing the activity. May I request all groups to paste their work on the board.
As we can see, nature provided us with rich natural resources which are of great benefit to us. In return, let us
protect and conserve the richness of the country’s natural resources.

IV- EVALUATION
Direction: On a one forth (1/4) sheet of paper, answer the question below with a brief answer.
1. Since many of the resources that we have today are not in endless supply, as a student in what way can
you help conserve and protect our natural resources?

V- ASSIGNMENT

Make a slogan showing how to protect and conserve our natural resources. Put it in a ¼ cartolina of
any color. Design your slogan artistically and make it presentable to the class.

VI- REFLECTION

A. No. Learners who earned 80% in the

class
B. No. of learners who require additional
activities for remediation.
C. Did the remedial lesson work? No. of
learners who have caught up with the
lessons.
D. No. of learners who continue to require
remediation
E. Which of my teaching strategies worked
well? Why did these work?
F. What difficulties did I encounter which
my principal or supervisor can help me
solve?
G. What innovation or localized materials
did I used/discover which I wish share
with other teachers?
