V. PROCESS

TEACHER’S ACTIVITY STUDENTS’ ACTIVITY

A. Preliminary Activities

May we all stand for the prayer. Who is the (A student leads the prayer)
prayer leader?

Good morning class! Good morning Ma’am!

You may now seat. Thank you, Ma’am.

Let me check the attendance first. Make
sure that you are in your proper seats so (Check attendance using a seat plan)
that you will not be marked absent.

Very Good! Everybody is present.

B. Review of the Past Lesson

Do you still remember our lesson last

meeting?
What had we discussed? Yes Ma’am.
We have discussed on using latitude and
Yes. Exactly! We made use of latitude and longitude in locating places on Earth.
longitude in locating different places on
Earth.

What is the relationship between the

latitude of a place and the climate it The closer the latitude to the equator, the
experiences? warmer the climate and the closer it is to
the poles, the colder the climate they
Very Good! experience.

C. Motivation

To start our new lesson, I will be showing

you a video of the beauty and splendor of
the Philippines.

And now, just sit back, relax and let me

take you to a tour around the Philippine
Archipelago. (Show video presentation
about the physical features and varied life
forms in the Philippines)

D. Presentation / Discussion

What are the things you have observed in

the video? We were able to explore the different rich
natural resources found in the Philippine
Yes! Exactly. Our country is bountiful in Archipelago.
natural resources starting from varied
physical features down to the diverse
plant and animal forms.

Talking about how lucky we are in the

Philippines to have such things, what can
you associate with the word “resources”?
Yes?
Good. How about another idea.
These are the things that are available
around us which we use for different
purposes.
Resources are things that can be used to
support, help, or drawn on when needed.

Exactly.

Based on your answers, we can define

resources as things used by people in (student answer varies)
order to survive or satisfy needs. e.g., air, water, plants, animals, soil, rocks,
minerals, crude oil, and other fossil fuels,
Anybody who wants to give examples of sunlight, wind, car, house, clothes, jewelry,
resources? money, etc.

Very Good!

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.

Very Good!

Now, since we are talking about

resources, Philippines as an archipelago, is
considered to be rich in natural resources!

Let’s name out the natural resources of our Bays, rivers, lakes, falls, gulfs, straits and
country. swamps.

We are blessed with the presence of

different water forms.

What are these water forms?

What is the importance of these water These bodies of water support the survival
forms? of diverse organisms for food as well as for
economic activities.
Precisely.

The presence of water in a specific

environment is said to be accountable for
supporting high biodiversity in that area.
Biodiversity means the presence various
plants and animal life in a particular
habitat.

Can we name some of the plants and (students answer will vary)
animals we can find in our country?

Those species that you have mentioned

are all common.

Since our country is rich also in biodiversity,

Philippines is considered to be the 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 Tamaraw, tarsier, Mouse deer (Pilandok)
which exist only in the Philippines?

Where can we find them? Tamaraw in Mindoro, Tarsier in Bohol and

Mouse Deer or Pilandok in Palawan (etc.)
Good!
(students answer may vary)
We also have mineral deposits in the Gold, Copper, Chromite, Iron,
country. Manganese, Nickel, Sand, Limestone,
What are the minerals that you know? Marble, Clay, Silica, etc.

Where are these minerals located or can Some are found near volcanoes, in rocks
be found? and near rivers, beaches etc.

Philippine mineral deposits are classified

as either metallic or non-metallic.

Gold, Copper, Chromite, Iron,

Manganese and Nickel are some of the
metallic minerals we have while Sand,
Limestone, Marble, Clay, and Silica are
some of the non-metallic minerals we
have in our country.

Where do we usually use metals? We use metals in soft drinks industry, at

home, in school, farm, and other places.
Yes indeed.

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 (Answers may vary) Mt. Mayon, Mt.
volcanoes? Pinatubo

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 We have solar energy, geothermal
resources? energy, hydrothermal energy, wind
energy and natural gas.
Do we have examples of the energy Geothermal Energy Plant at Puhagan,
resources in our place? Valencia

Very Good!

E. 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 (Students are starting to form their group)
themselves according to your monitorial
group in the class.
Group 1 will stay here in front at the right
corner, group 2 here in front at the center,
group 3 here in front at the left corner,
group 4 at the back-left corner, group 5
will be at the back center, and group 6 at
the back right corner.

In the count of five, you should be seated

with your group. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

Ok. Everybody settle down. Now that you

are with your group, you use a leader,
secretary and two representative or
reporters.

Listen to the instruction.

I be showing you some illustrations. You will

be shown 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.

Did you get it? Yes sir.

I will be giving first this envelope with a (students will open the envelope)
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 work in the class.
You are going to discuss the human
activities and its effects in front of the class.

Now read the human activities that is

assigned to your group.

Let’s start.

(Present “Before” and “After” of a certain

situation or activities in PPT)

Before After Human Activity Effects

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

2
Rice fields are turned into residential
or commercial centers.
 3
People cut too many trees for lumber
or paper or building houses.

4
More factories are being built to keep
up with the demands of a fast
growing population & industrialization

5
Too much mining & quarrying for the
purpose of getting precious metals &
gravel/stone

6
Plastics and other garbage are
thrown on the rivers and other bodies
of water

Now that you already visualize the way (Students perform the activity)
people destroy natural resources, you can
now start writing down the effects. Let’s do
this for 10 minutes.

After Performing Activity…

May I request all groups to paste their work Group Report

on the board.

Anybody who has a question to the (Somebody from other groups will ask the
group? reporter)

As we can see, nature provided us with

the 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

Directions: On a one fourth (1/4) sheet of paper, answer the question below with a brief
answer.

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.
