ACTIVITY 1: MY SYSTEM DIRECTIONS: Perform either one of the following activities. Then, answer the succeeding guide questions Option 1 (This option is recommended for students in a rural setting). Using a pencil and coloring materials, draw or illustrate your field area near you in the space provided in the next page. Take note of the presence of vegetation, soil cover, wildlife, rock out-crops, and bodies of water. Label how energy and mass are transferred in the different components of the area. Option 2 (This option is recommended for students in an urban setting). Label the different processes and phases of water involved in the water cycle. ale Figure 2. The Water CyclePo 1 GUIDE QUESTIONS: 1. What are the components of Earth’s system found in the area you illustrated (option 1) / in the water cycle (option 2)? 2. What are the indications that energy and mass (matter) are transferred to the different components of the area chosen / in the water cycle? 3, What would be possibly occur if there is no flow of energy in a system? Explain your answer. 4. What is a system?ACTIVITY 2: SPHERE INTERACTIONS Ww DIRECTIONS: 1, Select an event to evaluate from the list provided below: «janitor fish invasion * beetle infestation ¢ Typhoon Ambo that Mt. Pulag forest fire affected Eastern Samar © oil spill . * volcanic eruptions © coal mining ¢ smoke emission (from (Pinatubo, Mayon, drought factories and vehicles) Taal) © flooding (Cagayan) burning of plastics © _ photosynthesis 2, Research on the event and decide how it may cause a change to each of the spheres (hydrosphere, geosphere, atmosphere, biosphere) and how those spheres may impact the event. 3. Make a connection model as shown below.

What are the effects of the event on cach of the Earth’s four spheres (hydrosphere, atmosphere, geosphere, and biosphere)? When one of the spheres change, will it affect the other spheres? Support your answer with an example. ACTIVITY 3: ENRICHMENT DIRECTIONS: 1. The impact of man to the environment has become so massive that scientists are proposing the addition of man or the “anthroposphere” to the Earth system. 2. Write an essay in one (1) whole sheet of paper not exceeding 200 words on how man has altered the atmosphere, biosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere, and as a consequence, the Earth as whole.
