III. PROCEDURE:
A. Preparation:
 Greeting the class.
 Checking of attendance.
 Inspection of uniform and ID.
 Review of the previous lesson.
 Motivation (Game App: “Let’s Learn about Waste”)
B. Presentation:
Waste (rubbish, trash, refuse, garbage, junk, and litter)
 is unwanted or useless materials. Waste is directly
linked to human development, both technological
and social. Waste is an unavoidable by-product of
most human activity. The compositions of different
wastes have varied over time and location, with
industrial development and innovation being directly
linked to waste materials.
Types of Waste:

1. Solid Wastes- are waste materials that contain less

than 70% water. This class includes such materials as
household garbage, some industrial wastes, some
mining wastes, and oilfield wastes such as drill
cuttings.
2. Liquid Wastes- are usually wastewaters that contain
less than 1% solids. Such wastes may contain high
concentrations of dissolved salts and metals (from
mines, and toxic chemical waste).
3. Sludge- is a class between liquid and solid. They
usually contain between 3% and 25% solids, while
the rest of the material is water dissolved materials
(pozo negro).
4. Special Wastes- are very dangerous in nature. They
are regulated with specific guidelines. Some
examples would be radioactive wastes and medical
wastes from hospitals.
5. E-Wastes- include computers, entertainment
electronics, mobile phones and other electronic
items.

Recycling Loop
 it is a cycle of processing recyclable wastes into
similar or other materials to be use again.

Steps of Recycling Loop

Step 1. Collection- In the first steps of the recycling process,

the recyclables materials are collected. After collection, the
recyclables are then sent to a materials-recovery facility to be
sorted and prepared into marketable commodities to be sold to
processing companies.
Step 2. Processing-In the second step of the recycling
process, the recyclables are processed. Once cleaned
and sorted, the recyclables are processed to retrieve the raw
materials, and the raw materials are then used in
manufacturing recycled-content products

Step 3. Purchasing Recycled Products- The third step

involves purchasing recycled products. This third step
completes the recycling loop. Whether you are just an
individual consumer, or are a part of a government or business

organization, you have an important role in making recycling a

success by “buying recycled”.

Some Tips to Minimize Waste

A. At Home

 Food waste can be composted in your backyard.

 Reuse margarine tubs to freeze foods or pack

lunches to reduce the need for foil or plastic wrap.

 Repair/restore used items before replacing them with

new ones.

B. At the Store

 Buy items you can locally through recycling centers

(recycle bags).

 Avoid excess packaging, especially if you can hand-

carry it

 Carry a canvass or other reusable tote bag when you

shop.

C. At School

 Use both sides of a sheet of paper before recycling it.

 Use scrap paper for art project

 Re-use paper bags, wrapping paper, or newsprint for

book cover.

 Set-up a reuse box in the classroom for used pencils

pens, folders and other items that are still usable.

C. Generalization:

Guide Questions:

 What is waste again?

 Once more, what are the types of waste?

 Cite a plastic-type based on resin identification

coding system and give examples of plastic products
under that particular type.

 What are the stages in recycling loop?

 As a student, how can you help to minimize wastes in

our environment?

IV. Evaluation:

A. Jumbled Words

Direction: Arrange the jumbled words and rewrite it on the

underline before the number.
