D. Value Integration: Practice the importance of waste management.
III. Learning Tasks:

A. Engagement
 1. Motivation

Ask: What happens to the garbage after they put it in the garbage can.

C. Explanation

Ask the pupils to present their data and answer the guide question
1. What are the recyclable materials found in the garbage can?

3. What are the materials that can reduce?
4. Differentiate between Recycle and reduce?
5. Give another example of recyclable materials.

D. Elaboration:
Background information for Teachers

Reduce=> make less garbage. For example, instead of buying juice boxes for lunch, buy a

you buy groceries.
  Avoid buying disposable items or single use products such as batteries, razors,
utensils, plates, cups etc.
 Reducing is important because they decrease the amount of waste on the planet
and preserve natural resources by maintaining space and cutting down on
landfills.
 Reduce consumption of new material and save energy.

Recycle=>turn an item into another useful item. For example, scrap paper from the
classroom might be turned into newspaper or paper bags when sent to the recycling plant.
 Do not throw away used newspapers or used writing pads. Sell them or bring
them into usable paper again.
 Use bottles, tin cans rubber tires can be recycled into useful materials.
