natural resources.

Great job! Our topic for today is about

Very good class, we need these resources
for our survival.

I have some pictures here in the board. I

want you to observe each picture.

We need to conserve water ma’am.

What should we do to conserve water?

Turn off the faucet when not in use

ma’am.

Great job class, how about the second

picture?

Ma’am we need to lessen the use of

fertilizer.

of chemical that may affect the plants that
grows to it.

Excellent! Fertilizer is harmful to the soil

and also to the plants.

to other animals?

Ma’am it produces fruit that serve as food

to us.
It releases oxygen ma’am.

What does the three pictures represent?

Ways to conserve and protect natural

resources ma’am.

Very good, why do we need to conserve

and protect the natural resources class?

We need to conserve and protect the

natural resources that we have because
once that it’s gone we can’t make a new
one.

Because some of our natural resources are

limited and takes very long time to
replenish. And also for the future
generation use.

Yes, we need to conserve and protect the

natural resources for the future
generations.

And how will we do it?

We need to discipline ourselves ma’am.

We need to discipline ourselves in using

natural resources so that the future
generation can also use these.

Any question class?

None ma’am.

b. Application

In your ½ crosswise, explain why we need

to take care of the natural resources and
the earth.
 (The students are busy in making their
essay.)

c. Generalization

How to conserve the natural resources

again class?

To conserve natural resources is to protect

or use them wisely without wasting them
or using them up completely.

Yes, conserving natural resources can

make them last and be available for the
future generations. This is what
sustainability of natural resources mean.
Each one of us should think about how to
make things sustainable.

IV. Evaluation

In page 301, the activity number six titled “How Do People Destroy Natural
Resources?” you need to copy and answer in a one whole sheet of paper.

Procedures

1. Study the Table 1 and tell if you have observed the activities listed in your
locality.

Table 1. Ways People Destroy Natural Resources.

Activities Effects on Natural Resources

(1) (2)
When roads are built, mountains are Damage natural habitats and/or kill
blown off using dynamite. plants and animals.
Rice fields are turned into residential
or commercial centers.
People cut too many trees for lumber
or paper or building houses.
More factories are being built to keep
up with the demands of a fast
growing population and
industrialization.
 Too much mining and quarrying for
the purpose of getting precious
metals and stones and gravel.
Some farmers use to much chemical
fertilizers to replenish soil fertility.
Plastics and other garbage are
burned.
Cars, trucks, tricycles that emit dark
smoke are allowed to travel.

3. Write the effect. Some of the effects have already been listed in the table.
4. What can you do to conserve resources?

V. Assignment
1. Make a list of what is done in your school that help conserve natural
resources.
