and mangrove swamps
3. Appreciate the importance of protecting and conserving the tropical rainforest,
coral reefs, and mangrove swamps.

III. Procedure

Teacher Activity Pupil’s Activity

A. Preparatory Activity
 Prayer
Class let us all stand up and put
ourselves in the presence of the Lord
as we pray.
(Students will stand up and pray)

 Greetings
Good morning class.
Good morning teacher!

 Checking of Attendance
Is there any absent for today’s class?

Nobody is absent, teacher

Very Good! Perfect attendance
 Class Agreement
As we go on to our formal and very
interesting discussion, I want you to
know first that we have and
agreements that should be followed:
1. Sit properly
2. Listen and participate to the
discussion
3. Raise your right hand if you
want to ask question and
clarification.
Understand?

B. Review Yes teacher!

- We already discuss the mangrove
swamps.
 - Do you remember what a mangrove
swamp is?
- Students will volunteer to answer.
(Mangroves are trees that grow along the
coasts. They are usually found in shallow
waters along the mouths of bays, lagoons,
and rivers.)
- Very good!!

C. Motivation
- Let’s plays the game called “Who am I”

Guess the name of animals or plants in the

picture. Fill in the missing letters to complete
the name.

- Can you tell me what is the condition of

these organisms/animals in the
ecosystem they belong? They are being endangered.

- Stop cutting trees

- What can we do to protect them or - Stop throwing garbage in the forest
save them? or rivers
- Clean our environment

- Very good!!

D. Presentation
Ecosystem Conservation
- Human activities disturb and
destroy biodiversity and the natural
balance of the ecosystem. Most of
these activities alter the structure
and functions of both living and
nonliving components of the
ecosystem. Some of mans trade
activities disrupt the
interrelationship in the ecosystem.

Strategies in protecting and conserving

Ecosystem
Soil Conservation
- Soil conservation helps restore the
nutrients of the soil
- This will make the plants and other
organisms live and grow
- Soil conservation involves
employing
Water Conservation
- One of the most essential needs of
humans, plants, and animals is clean
fresh water.
- Water supply in the reservoir could
be increased through an effective
watershed management.
- Wise used of water is also important
for water conservation.
Protecting forest, Coral reefs, and Swamp
ecosystem
- Rainforests are often called the
lungs of the planet for their role in
absorbing carbon dioxide, a
greenhouse gas, and increasing local
humidity.
- Rainforests also stabilize climate,
house incredible amounts of plants
and wildlife, and produce nourishing
rainfall around the planet.
- Rainforests are the source of
medicines and food; support tribal
people; and are an interesting place
to visit.
- Coral ecosystems are a source of
food for millions; protect coastlines
from storms and erosion; provide
habitat, spawning, and nursery
grounds for important fish species;
provide jobs and income to local
fishers, recreation, and tourism; are
a source of new medicine.
- Mangroves are the first line of
defense for coastal communities.
They stabilize shorelines by slowing
erosion and provide natural barriers
protecting coastal communities
from increased natural calamities or
disasters.
- Mangrove swamps are home to a
large variety of fish, crab, shrimp,
and mollusk species. d. (The students volunteer to answer)
- (Ask students how tropical
 rainforests, coral reefs, and
mangroves are important in our
ecosystem)
- Today, tropical rainforests, coral
reefs, and mangrove swamps are
disappearing from the face of the
globe.
- Despite the growing international
concern, these are continuing to be
destroyed. These destructions have
a global impact through species
extinction and the loss of important
ecosystem services and resources.
However, these destructions can be
slowed, stopped, and in some cases
even reversed.
- We need to protect and conserve
the Earth’s resources. We need to
give high value to our tropical
rainforests, coral reefs, and
mangrove swamps. Here are some
ways to protect and conserve it.
1. Habitat restoration
2. Reforestation or replanting a
forest
3. Mangrove rehabilitation.
4. Wildlife conservation which
includes protecting a sanctuary
where animals live.
5. Supporting projects of the
government and non-
government organizations that
protect the tropical rainforest,
coral reefs, and mangrove
swamps.
6. Joining organizations that
conduct educational campaigns
and give information on how to
protect and conserve it. Being
responsible to the development
and restoration of Earth’s
resources like the tropical rain
forests, mangrove swamps and
coral reefs are key for the long- e. (The students volunteer to answer)
term benefits to mankind.
- (Ask students how can they protect
and conserve tropical rainforests,
coral reefs, and mangroves.)

- Learning Task 1 – Activity

 Now we will have an activity. The
name of the activity is “Family
Feud”. The class will be divided into
two groups (boys & girls) each group
will choose 3 representatives to
participate in the quiz show. The
group with the highest points wins
the game.
E. Generalization
1. How can we protect and conserve
rainforests, coral reefs, and
mangroves?
2. Why do we need to protect them?
3. How can we help in our own way to
protect and conserve them?

IV. Application
Write PC if the following statement shows protecting and conserving tropical rainforest,
coral reefs, and mangrove swamps, and write N if not.
_________1. Replanting trees in the forest.
