A. Class, are you ready to learn new things today? I have here pictures. What can you say about
the 1st picture?
B. We are going to have our 1st activity. I will divide you into 3 groups. The 1st column is the
group. All you must do is the answer the ff. questions on the board. Write your answer on the
illustration board. When I say show me your answer that’s the time that you will raise your
illustration board. The group that will get the correct answer will automatically tally 1 point at
the top of the illustration board. Lets give the winning group a very good clap!
Congratulations Group!
C. This morning we will tackle about changes in the materials whether useful or harmful to one’s
environment.
What can you say about the video you have watched? What impact does it bring in the
community? Is it useful or harmful? There are so many innovative things we can make out of
plastic bottles. Theres so much in the plastic bottles that we never thought can possibly make
a life than just wasting it the bins.
Useful Changes in the materials – are those materials that address the rampant problem of
improper waste disposal and thus, contribute good impact to our society.
HARMFUL VIDEOS –
WHAT GOOD INSIGHTS INTO LIFE ARE THERE IN THE VIDEO?
DOES THE WORLD IN THE FILM WORK IN THE REAL WORLD?
HOW DID IT AFFECTS TO THE ENVIRONMENT? IS IT USEFUL OR HARMFUL?
HOW ARE GOING TO MINIMIZE THE IMPROPER WASTE DISPOSAL TO AVOID
SUCH DILEMMA?

To further lighten our minds on how to conserve and preserve our mother earth. Let us watch
another video that suggest proper ways of using, storing and disposing materials to avoid
harmful effects to the environment.
What is the waste management highlighted in the video?
Why do we need to practice the 3r’s?

will use the Venn Diagram to paste the sentence strips that show changes in the materials that
are useful or harmful to the environment.
Group 2 will identify the materials that are useful or harmful to the environment by putting a
check if it is useful and x if it is harmful to one’s environment.
Group 3 will paste the sentence strips to its correct group/columns.
E. What are the good examples of changes in the materials that are useful to the environment?
Why?
