the prayer?
Good morning class!

Good morning ma’am!
You may now take your seat
Thank you ma’am
Let me check the attendance fast Make sure (Check attendance using a seat plan)
that you are in your proper seats so that you

B. Review of the Past Lesson
Do you still remember our lesson last

meeting? What had we discussed? Yes, sir
Yes. Exactly We made use of latitude and We have discussed on using latitude and
longitude in locating different places on Earth longitude in locating places on Earth
What is the relationship between the latitude The closer the latitude to the equator, the
of a place and the climate it experiences? warmer the climate and the closer it is to the
poles, the colder the climate they experience.
Very Good!
C. Motivation
To start our new lesson, I will be showing you

a video of the beauty and splendor of the
Philippines and now, just at back, relax and let
me take you to a tour around the Philippine
Archipelago (Show video presentation about
the physical features and varied life forms in
the Philippines)
D. Activity
Today, we are going to brainstorm on how

people destroy natural resources.
Now, I want everybody to group themselves

according to your monitorial group in the (Students are starting to form their group) Yes
class. ma’am.
Group I will stay here in front at the right

corner. Group 2 here in front at the center,
group 3 here in front at the left corner, group 4
at the back left corner, group 5 will be at the
back center, and group 6 at the back right
corner.
In the count of five, you should be sitted with

your group (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
Ok. Everybody settle down. Now that you are

with your group, you use a leader, secretary
and two representative or reporters.
Listen to the instruction.
I be showing you some illustrations. You will

be shown a "Before" and "After" of a certain
situation or activities. Afterwards, you are
going to determine the effects of these
activities to our natural resources. Take note of
the group number in the illustration. Each
group have their own assigned situation based
on the illustration
Did you get it?

Yes, ma'am
I will be giving first this envelope with a
cartolina and pen inside. On the cartolina,
there is a column for human activity that is (students will open the envelope)
written and on the other column is the effects.
You are going to write down the effects on the
cartolina provided under "Effects". A leader or
member of the group will present their work in
the class. You are going to discuss the human
activities and its effects in front of the class.
Now read the human activities that is assigned

to your group.
Lets start.
(Present "Before" and "After" of a certain

situation or activities in PPT)
Before After Human Activity Effects

When roads are built
mountains are blown
Group 1 off using dynamite
Rice fields are turned into

Group 2 residential or commercial
centers.
People cut too many trees

for lumber or paper or building
Group 3 houses
More factories are being built

to keep up with the demands
of a fast growing population
Group 4 & industrialization.
Too many mining & quarrying

for the purpose of getting
precious metals & gravel/stone
Group 5.
Plastics and other garbage are

thrown on the rivers and others
Group 6. . bodies of water
(students perform the activity)

Now that you already visualize the way people
destroy natural resources, you can start writing
down the effects. Let’s do this for 10 minutes.
After Performing Activity…

Group Report
May I request all groups to paste their work on
the board. (Somebody from other groups will ask the
reporter)
Anybody who has a question to the group?
As we can see, nature provided us with the

rich natural resources which are of great
benefit to us. In return, let us protect and
conserve the richness of the country’s natural
resources.
D. Presentation / Discussion We were able to explore the different rich

What are the things you have observed in the natural resources found in the Philippine
video? Archipelago.
Yes! Exactly. Our country is bountiful in

natural resources starting from varied physical These are the things that are available around
features down to the diverse plant and animal us which we use for different purposes.
forms. Talking about how lucky we are in the
Philippines to have such things, what can you
associate with the word "resources"?
Resources are things that can be used to
Yes? support, help. or drawn on when needed.
Good. How about another idea
Exactly.
Based on your answers, we can define (student answer varies)

resources as things used by people in order to
e.g., air, water, plants, animals, soil, rocks,
survive or satisfy needs.
minerals, crude oil, and other fossil fuels,
Anybody who wants to give examples of sunlight, wind, car, house, clothes, jewelry,
resources? money, etc.
Very Good!
Resources such as air, water, plants, animals,

soil. rocks, minerals, crude oil, and other fossil
fuels. sunlight, and wind are considered as
natural resources because they are already
available in the nature.
Very Good!
Now, since we are talking about resources,

Philippines, as an archipelago, is considered to
be rich in natural resources!
Let's name out the natural resources of our

country. Bays, rivers, lakes, falls, gulfs, straits and
We are blessed with the presence of different swamps.
water forms. These bodies of water support the survival of
What are these water forms? diverse organisms for food as well as for
economic activities
What is the importance of these water forms?
Precisely.
The presence of water in a specific

environment is said to be accountable for
supporting high biodiversity in that area. (students answer will vary)
Biodiversity means the presence various plants
and animal life in a particular habitat.
Can we name some of the plants and animals

we can find in our country?
Those species that you have mentioned are all

common.
Since our country is rich also in biodiversity,

Philippines is considered to be the home of
endemic species. When we say endemic
species, these are species which can be found
only in a certain area and not in any other
Tamaraw, tarsier, Mouse deer (Pilandok)
places.
Tamaraw in Mindoro, Tarsier in Bohol and
What endemic species do you know which
Mouse Deer or Pilandok in Palawan (etc.)
exist only in the Philippines?
Where can we find them?

Good! (Students answer may vary)
We also have mineral deposits in the country. Gold, Coper, Chromite, Iron, Manganese,
Nickel, Sand, Limestone, Marble, Clay, Silica,
What are the minerals that you know? etc.
Some are found near volcanoes, in rocks and

Where are these minerals located or can be near rivers, beaches etc.
found?
Philippine mineral deposits are classified as

either metallic or non-metallic.
Gold, Copper, Chromite, Iron, Manganese,

and Nickel are some of the metallic minerals
we have while Sand, Limestone, Marble, Clay,
and Silica are some of the non-metallic
minerals we have in our country. We use metals in softdrink industry, at home,
Where do we usually use metals? in school, farm, and other places.
Yes indeed.
Minerals deposits can be found were

volcanoes or trenches are present. We have
many volcanoes in the Philippines and most of
them are active. (Answer may vary) Mt. Mayon, Mt. Pinatubo
Can you name some of the famous volcanoes?
Because of the presence of numerous

volcanoes in our place, our country belongs to
the “Pacific Ring of Fire”.
Aside from that we also have energy

resources. We have solar energy, geothermal energy,
hydrothermal energy, wind energy and natural
What are some of these energy resources?
gas.
Geothermal Energy Plant at Puhagan, Valencia

Do we have examples of the energy resources
in our place?
Very Good!
IV. Evaluation
Direction: On a one fourth (1/4) sheet of paper, answer the question below with a brief answer.
1. Since many of the resources that we have today are not in endless supply, as a student in what
way can you help conserve and protect our natural resources?
V. Assignment
Make a slogan how to protect and conserve our natural resources. Put in a ¼ cartolina of any
color. Design your slogan artistically and make it presentable to the class. Deadline for the
submission of slogan will be tomorrow.
