What shall we do during
Science time?
We observe, we compare,
We use our eyes and
We use our ears,
During Science time.)

2. Weather Report

“Class, what have you (Pupils will answer based on their

B. Developmental Activities

1. Engagement

(Teacher will show a picture of

two different worlds)

“Where do you want to live?” “I want to live in a clean and

peaceful world.”

“Of course, nobody wants to

purpose, it is considered as waste.”

“Products make our lives

easier. But what happens
when we are through with
using the products?”

“For example, at school, I “I will erase the mistakenly

asked you to draw something
on your one whole sheet of
paper and you mistakenly
illustrated the wrong picture,
what will you do?”
illustrated picture so that I can
reuse the paper.”
“I will think of ways to recycle it.”
(Other pupils will share their
answers)

2. Exploration

“The class will be divided into

three groups.”

“Here are the standards when

having group activity.”

(Teacher will show the

standards for doing the activity)

“For Group 1, you are going to

do a role play showing the
proper use of the 5R’s in waste
management.”
 “Group 2, I have here a poem
and you will fill in the blanks by
choosing from the word pool.”

“And for Group 3, you will

make an illustration about the
effects of a proper waste
management.”

“I will give you 10 minutes to (Pupils will go to their respective

do your tasks. Timer starts groups)
now!”
(The three groups will present their
works)

3. Explanation

1. What is reduce?
(Reduce – means to
minimize wastes.)

2. What is reuse?
(Reuse – to use the same
material again and again as
many times as possible.
Many materials can be
reused for their original
purpose.)

3. What is recycle?
(Recycle – to use the

4. What is recover?
(Recover – involves getting

4. Elaboration

“What will happen if we do not “We, people, and also our

obey this method? Who and environment will be affected if we
what will be affected?” do not obey the 5R’s.”

“The 5R’s or reduce, reuse,

recycle, recover, and repair is
 the modern method of waste
management.”

5. Evaluation

Directions: Determine if the

sentence describes a way to
