III. Procedure:
Teacher’s Activity Students’ Activity
A. Daily Routine
Good morning class… Good morning Teacher Angel.

Arrange your chairs and pick up the pieces of (everybody is going to arrange their chairs and pick
papers. up the pieces of papers)
B. Motivation-Presentation
We have here a globe. What planet does the A globe is an Earth model.

leader, secretary, and a reporter.
Here are the materials prepared for each
group. May I request a representative from
each group to get the materials?
Don’t start with the activity yet, let’s recall What make it possible for us to live on Earth?
first the problem you’ve raised?
E. Performing the Activity
Each group may start the activity. Follow the 1. Using the materials given, identify and paste
procedure given. I’ll give you 10 minutes to the three portion/composition of the planet
do it. earth on side A of the circle.
2. For side B identify and paste the benefits we
get from the Earth (paste the pictures on the
proper location where we can find these
things).
3. List 5 action on how are you going to take
care of the benefits we get from the planet
Earth. Write your answer on the given paper.
F. Reporting Findings
Will you please read the problem? What make it possible for us to live on
Earth?
Ok class; be ready to answer the problem
you’ve raised.
Group 1; state three basic The three basic composition of Earth are land, water
portion/composition of the Earth. and air.
Very good.
As you can see class the Earth is surrounded
by water and land. Earth is composed of
75% water and 25% land. And not just that,
the Earth is blanketed by the air what we call
the atmosphere.
Group 2; from the picture you have made From the Earth’s resources we get from them our
out of the given materials, what are the food, shelter and everything we need to live. For

3. benefits we can get from Earth? example air breathing; water for drinking; logs from
trees for our shelter.
Very well said group two.
We call them ________. N_t_ _a_ _ es_ _r_s
There are a lot of benefits we get from
Earth, it’s too many mention. Everything we
receive from Earth comes from what we call
Natural Resources.
There are two kinds of natural resources.
Natural Resources
Renewable - they grow again or
never run out. They can be replaced
within person’s lifespan.
Give me an example of things that Trees
comes from earth that can regrow Animals
and replace. Air
Water
Non-Renewable - they can run out
or be used up. They can never be
replaced or it takes thousands of
years (behind person’s lifespan)
before it is replaced.
 Fossil fuels (natural gas, coal,
and oil)
 Minerals
Group 3; what actions are you going to take 1. Plant more trees. Replace the cut trees.
to take care our natural resources? 2. Keep the surrounding clean by segregating
our trash.
3. Stop smoking.
4. Do the 3R’s (reduce, reuse, recycle)
5. Walk instead of riding.
Very good group 3. These are just some of C __ n __ __ erv __ ti__n
action we can take to take care of our
natural resources. We also call this process
as ______.
Conservation means to use the natural
resources wisely without wasting or spoiling
things. Use or consume the right amount
resources and avoid excessive use of this
resources.
G. Generalization
What have we learn from our activity? The Earth has its three basic compositions;
there are the land, water and air. The Earth
provides us resources for us to live.

4. What are these resources? There are two kinds of natural resources;
renewable and non-renewable resources.
Will you give example of renewable and non- Trees and animals for renewable; minerals
renewable resources? and fossil fuel for non-renewable.
What can we do to save these resources? We must take care of them through
conserving the natural resources.
Have we answered your questions? Yes, we do.
