E. Discussion
 In what way is the sun beneficial to

presence of sunlight in the photosynthetic
process. Likewise animals and humans need
the sun’s heat and light energy in order to
survive. With the presence of sunlight, humans

can do a lot of activities such as laundry,

harvesting, drying of crops, fishing and drying of

fishes and recreational activities like outing/
picnics.

Both farmers and fishermen use the sun’s

heat in drying crops and fishes.

 In what way is the sun’s heat and light

harmful to living things?

Excessive exposure to sunlight can burn or

harm the skin. This is called sunburn. Too much
heat of the sun can cause the withering of the
plants and eventually they die. Animals are
badly affected when there is no food for them
and exposure to intense heat can cause them
to become ill and eventually die.

We should not look directly at the sun

because it can damage our eyes.

The soil will become very dry and can crack

causing the plants to die. Farming also is not
possible

sun’s heat and light to the living things?

The sun is the source of all energy, gives off

beneficial and harmful Yes, ma’am
Electricity is very important in our daily life it
feels us comfortable.
H. Application

 The Boy scouts and Girl scouts of the

Philippines will be conducting a
National Jamborette and most of the
activities will be held in the field. As an
active scouter, how are you going to
protect yourself from the exposure of
the heat of the sun?
Sun’s heat and light are beneficial because
it help plants, animals and humans to
survive. It is harmful because it can cause a
plant’s wither and lead to its death and the
effects of too much heat of the sun to the
humans can cause heat stroke or sunburn,
and to much exposure to intense heat can
lead the animals become ill and eventually
die.

As a scouter, I will make sure that I will

observe all the precautionary measures to
avoid any harmful effects of the sun to
myself. During outdoor activities I will
apply sun block lotion to my body and I
will wear shirt with long sleeves and wear
a hat. I will also bring a bottle water to
keep my body hydrated.
