This morning we are going to play "Alive, Alert,
and Awake". I will be flashing 5 pictures which
correspond to your group once you see the
picture all you have to do is stand and act
according to your assigned pic. The group who
fails to respond directly will be ousted and the
remaining group will be declared as a winner and
will have 10 points. Am I clear? Are you ready?

Well said! Can I expect that from you? Suffocating and hot ma'am.
Developmental Activities
a. Activity 1
With the same group, you will be given an activity
by station. Yes ma'am.
Station 1 — Plot the Time and Temperature for
Set-up A.
Station 2 — Plot the Time and Temperature for A good student listens, takes note, participates
Set-up B. and behave well in the class ma'am.
Station 3 — Answer the following questions. Yes ma'am.
You will be given 5- minutes each station 3-5
minutes for your presentation. Station 1 will be
presented by group 1 and station 2 will be for
group 2, Station 3 for group 3, station 4 for group
4 and lastly, station 5 for group 5. Here's the

2. Describe the graph resulting from the observations in Set-up B.
3. Explain the similarities in the graphs of Set-up A and B.
4. Explain the differences in the graphs of Set-up A and B.
5. Does this activity help you answer the question: Do greenhouse retain heat? What is the
evidence?

Station 3.
Instruction: Use the graph below to answer the following questions.

In the year 1960, how much was the Carbon

dioxide concentration in ppm?
2. In the year 2000, how much was the
Carbon dioxide concentration in ppm?
3. What does the data tells us about the
Carbon dioxide concentration of the world?
4. How can an increase in Carbon
dioxide affect us?

Station 4.
Instruction: Use the graph below to answer the following questions.

1. Which fossil fuel has the highest

contribution to carbon dioxide concentration in
the atmosphere?
2. What human activities use this fuel?
List at least thee.
3. Are we also contributing to the
increase in carbon dioxide concentration in the
atmosphere? Why or why not?

Station 5.

Instruction: Draw or illustrate your interpretation about the following topic.

OZONE DEPLETION
Planet Earth has its own natural sunscreen that
shields us from the sun's damaging ultraviolet
radiation. It's called the ozone la er: a fra ile

GLOBAL WARMING
Global warming is the term used to describe a
gradual increase in the average temperature of
the Earth's atmosphere and its oceans, a change
that is believed to be permanently changing the
Earth's climate.
OZONE DEPLETION + GLOBAL WARMING

Teacher's station 1 tells us?

Activity
b. Discussion
Time's up! Please settle down.

Do you think an animal can survive in Set-up

A? How about in Set-up B?
What do you think might happen to the animal
in Set-up A?

What is the importance of atmospheric gases in

the atmosphere?
What are the other Atmospheric gases and how
are they produced?

As Carbon dioxide increases what will be the

ossible effect?

4
 Student's Activity How can you differentiate ozone depletion from
global warming?

Set-up A and B are just representation of a
bigger picture which is our planet. In Set-up A
wherein there are no vents, the temperature
continuously increases as it is exposed to
continuous heat.
Set-up B on the other hand has vents which
allows the heat to escape therefore it is less
hot inside the set-up.
Valuing
What do you think might happen to our planet
if we continue to release Carbon dioxide and
other atmospheric gases?
Now that we've learn the effects of human
activities towards our planet. As students, how
can you help protect our planet? What can you
do to help?

No ma'am. Well said.

2. Some faming practices and land-use

3. Many factories produce long lasting
industrial; gases that do not occur
naturally and hose gases enhance the

Ozone depletion is the thinning of our ozone
layer due to ozone depleting substances such as
the CFCs. Global warming is the increase in
temperature of the atmosphere due to the
atmospheric gases.
We might die.
