 Elaborate

Analysis of the activity result

Interactive discussion

1. What are the harmful effects of the changes in the materials to the
environment?
2. What are the useful effects of the changes in the materials to the
environment?

Some changes in the materials are useful to the environment, while

others are harmful.

Useful: cutting of piece of cloth to be made into handkerchief, cutting

of fabric to be made into clothes, cutting and shaping pieces of
wood/lumber into chair, changing wood into charcoal for cooking.

Harmful: burning of old tires and other plastic materials/trash,

throwing of kerosene and detergents into the sewage, etc. make land
polluted. Polluted land serves as breeding places. When the material
soil/land is dumped with garbage such as empty bottles, plastics,
toxic wastes, chemical from factories, and others, the soil/land
becomes polluted. Polluted land serves as breeding places for flies,
cockroaches and rats. These pests carry germs that can cause
diseases, hence hazardous to one’s health.

(VALUING) Let pupils realize that to help preserve and conserve the
environment, various environmental practices such as 5R’s (Reduce,
Reuse, Recycle, Repair, Rot) waste segregation, clean-up drives, tree
planting, and other environmental-related activities should be done.
Let pupils apply their understanding or show what they can do to help
prevent/minimize the harmful effects of the changes in the materials to
the environment by doing the following. (You can choose one of these
situations. (English Integration)

Group 1 – Jingle
Group 2 – Poem
Group 3 _ Song
Group 4 _ Poster
Group 5 – Slogan

Clarify misconception when needed.
