D. Elaboration/Extension
1. Generalization

Background Information for the Teacher:

Recycle, Reduce, Reuse, Recover and Repair
are

ways of Waste Management. They will help lessen

the production of waste materials that will cause harmful

effects in the environment because instead of throwing
and disposing the waste products, people were able to
find ways to make another product, lessen the use of
unnecessary materials, use again materials in different
purpose, take energy from waste materials and use into
more beneficial use and learn how to fix and restore
broken items to be used again.
If people will really follow the 5Rs of Waste
Management, harmful effects of waste materials to the
environment will be prevented.
2. Application:
Awareness of the importance of 5Rs of Waste
Management is everybodys responsibility. How will
you extend what you learned today at home?
