Learning Task 2 – Motivation
(Show a picture of the Earth)
Class, what picture is on the board?
When you look at the earth from the outer
space, what does it look like?
What do you think is the bluish color surface of
the earth?
Very good!
Now class, how many percent of the earth’s
surface is covered by water?
Very good!
As you look closer, what is the other color that
you see?
What does the green color represent on earth’s
surface?
Very good.
How many percent of earth’s covered with
land?
Yes. Correct.
___FALSE__ 2. Play under the sun for long
hours.
___TRUE __ 3. Do not insert your fingers or
any small object into an outlet.
__FALSE __ 4. It is safe to use electrical
appliances when wet.
__TRUE _ 5. Drink plenty of water and do
not wait until you are thirsty to drink.
The picture of the earth.
Its looks like a blue marble.
The bluish color that covers the surface of the
earth is water.
75% of the earth’s surface is covered by water.
Green.
The green color represents the land.
25% of the land.

3. 3
Is earth also covered with air?
What colors represent the air in this picture?
Correct. Very good!
B. Lesson Proper
Learning Task 3 - Activity
Now class, let us have picture puzzle. As you
can see, I have here 4 envelopes. Inside it is the
picture that you are going to form.
I will divide you into two groups. Each group
will have two envelopes to form.
I will give you 5 minutes to do that.
Is it clear?
Group 1
Group 2
Learning Task 4 – Analysis
Where do we find the animals?
Correct. And what is environment?
All things that we see in our surrounding are all
part of the environment, including us.
Yes it is covered with air.
The white color represents the air.
Yes it is.
In the environment.
Environment is everything that makes up the
surroundings and affects the activities of living
things. It consists of all living and non living
things on earth.

4. 4
Can you give examples of living things?
What do we call the things in the environment?
What are natural resources?
How do living things benefit from the
environment?
Correct. Now class let us go back with these
two groups.
There are two groups of natural resources.
Can you identify the first picture in the first
group?
Does sunlight give us unlimited supply of light
in a day?
Very good!
What about the other picture?
Very good.
Can animals be replaced? How?
Correct. This group of natural resources was
considered as renewable resources.
What are renewable resources?
Can you identify the pictures in the second
group?
If the first group are called renewable resources,
how about the second group?
.
Why do you think petroleum and coal is under
nonrenewable resources?
Now class what are nonrenewable resources?
Do you think the improper use of this
nonrenewable resources good in our
environment? Why?
Human, plants and animals
Natural resources.
A natural resource is anything that people can
use which comes from nature like land, water
and air.
Without water, air and land, living things
cannot exist, so they are dependent upon the
environment.
Sunlight.
Yes it does.
Animals.
Yes. It can replace through reproduction.
Renewable resources are natural resources that
can be replaced or renewed within a short
period of time.
Petroleum and Coal.
Non-renewable resources
Because it takes a long period of time to replace
it.
Nonrenewable resources are natural resources
that cannot be easily replaced within a short
period of time. They can take hundreds or even
million years to form.
No. Because it can cause pollution that is very
harmful to our environment.
.

5. 5
Do you have any idea what are the uses of these
nonrenewable resources?
So, what do we need to do to those
nonrenewable resources?
Very good.
How do we prevent pollution?
Very good!
Is it important to conserve and protect our
natural resources? Why?
What do we need in order to survive?
Correct!
What is the effective way to conserve our
natural resources?
What are the things that can be recycling?
Very good!
Learning Task 5 – Abstraction
Again class what are natural resources?
Correct.
What are the two groups of natural resources?
Correct.
What are renewable resources?
Very good!
Give me examples of renewable resources.
Correct.
What are nonrenewable resources?
Correct.
What do we need to do to those nonrenewable
resources?
Those are use for running electricity and
energy.
We need to use them wisely.
We can prevent pollution by proper disposal of
these nonrenewable resources.
Yes it is. Because we need it to survive.
We need the Earth’s natural resources.
Recycling.
Bottles, newspaper, magazines, boxes etc.
Natural resources are the naturally occurring
materials that are used by living things.
Renewable and nonrenewable.
Renewable resources are the natural resources
that can be replenish in a short period of time.
Sunlight, water, air, plants and animals.
Nonrenewable resources are the natural
resources that cannot be easily to replaced
within a short period of time.
We need to use it wisely.

6. 6
IV. Evaluation
Write R on the blank if the material is renewable and N if it is nonrenewable.
_______ 1. Stars
_______ 2. LPG
_______ 3. Kerosene
_______ 4. Vegetables
_______ 5. Tree
V. Assignment
List at least 5 natural resources found in the Philippines.
Learning Task 6 – Application
Now class, I want you to look under your chair.
As you can see some of you have the picture. I
will call you one by one and then you will tell
what is in the picture then identify what group
of resources is that.
Is it clear class?
Moon Nuclear
Renewable Resources Nonrenewable Resources
Water Crude Oil
Renewable Resources Nonrenewable Resources
Fruits Fuel
Renewable Resources Nonrenewable Resources
