3 Seconds MSC UP AND UNDER

I am________________, your teacher broadcaster for

Science Grade Three. I am here to guide you as we
take a leap to an exciting journey and discovery.
3 Seconds MSC UP AND UNDER

Are you ready to learn? So, what are you waiting for?
Let us now explore the wonderful world of Science…

3 Seconds MSC UP AND UNDER

How are you today? I hope you are excited as I am!

3 Seconds MSC UP AND UNDER

At this point, please make sure that you are in a

comfortable place far from noise so you will hear me
loud and clear.
3 Seconds MSC UP AND UNDER

For today’s lesson, you are expected to name the

importance of trees to people and other living things
and state why trees are important in environmental
conservation
.
3 Seconds MSC UP AND UNDER

Now,kindly get your activity sheets, ball pen and pencil

and get ready to listen and learn!.

3 Seconds MSC UP AND UNDER

Are you ready?

 I think You are ready!
So let’s begin!

3 Seconds MSC UP AND UNDER

What makes up our environment?

What are the things that surrounds you?

3 Seconds MSC UP AND UNDER

Yes, Correct! Our environment is everything around us.

All of our surrounding including air,soil,water,animals
and plants make up the environment.

3 Seconds MSC UP AND UNDER

Now, I want you to look at the picture on your Learning

Activity Sheet.

3 Seconds MSC UP AND UNDER

What do you see in the picture?

3 Seconds MSC UP AND UNDER

Very good! It is a picture of a farm and there are

different kinds of animals.
3 Seconds MSC UP AND UNDER

What other things do you see in the farm?

3 Seconds MSC UP AND UNDER

Correct! very good! There are also different kinds of

trees and plants in the farm.
3 Seconds MSC UP AND UNDER
Now, I want you to listen about the story of Chintu and
Pintu.
3 Seconds MSC UP AND UNDER
Before we start I want you to focus and listen carefully.
3 Seconds MSC UP AND UNDER
Are you ready?
3 Seconds MSC UP AND UNDER
Here is the story:
Time for Nature
Once upon a time, there was a beautiful forest. There lived
two trees, named Chintu and Pintu, who were brothers.
Chintu and Pintu had many friends like the rabbits, the group
of monkeys, the family of birds, the Bunky bear and the wise
old wolf.

One day, all the friends were chatting. Suddenly Pintu saw a
WOODCUTTER coming toward the forest. Pintu said “Hey
look a WOODCUTTER is coming towards the forest! Run!
Run!”chintu said to the animals. But no one ran. They said
“You give us food, shelter, you give us fresh air to breathe.
 How can we leave you in danger and go?” Chintu and Pintu
thanked them.”OK you all hide behind us” said the two
brother trees. So the monkeys and the birds hid inside the
leaves of the tree and the other animals hid behind the tree.

Woodcutter was very confused because there were many

trees to cut. Suddenly he saw Chintu and Pintu, the huge
trees. He said “Be ready to be cut you trees.” The wise old
wolf had already told his plan to animals. When the
woodcutter came near the trees, the group of monkeys
jumped on him and started imitating him, then the family of
birds started pecking him, then the rabbit and his brothers
started jumping around him and the Bunkey bear started
roaring.

When all animals were busy at their work, the wise old wolf
ran to the lion king. The wise old wolf told the king what he
had to do. So they ran to where all the animals were. The
king roared and the woodcutter ran for his life. Chintu and
Pintu said “thank you”.

Later the woodcutter thought “I never thought that trees give

animals so many things like food,shelter and fresh air…” and
decided not to cut trees.

3 Seconds MSC UP AND UNDER

Did you enjoy our story?

3 Seconds MSC UP AND UNDER
Great! I’m glad that you enjoyed our story.
What is the moral lesson that you get in the story?
3 Seconds MSC UP AND UNDER
Very Good! The moral lesson of the story is do not
cut,but plant more trees because there is less forest on
our land and it is becoming less and less only.
So please save our forest.
3 Seconds MSC UP AND UNDER
Our lesson for today is about the importance of trees to
people and other living things.

3 Seconds MSC UP AND UNDER

Did you know children that trees are important to people

and animals to the environment?
3 Seconds MSC UP AND UNDER
Trees and other plants are very important to man. The
truth is we can’t survive without plants. We get so many
things from plants.
They give us food,
clothing,
medicines,
building materials,
and fresh supply of oxygen to breathe.
And also,trees are homes of animals in the forest.
3 Seconds MSC UP AND UNDER
Plants or trees also prevent landslide and floods
 because of their roots.
Plants keep the air temperature cooler by absorbing
carbon dioxide which makes the air warmer.
They also prevent air pollution because they absorb air
pollutants that make our surroundings dirty.
3 Seconds MSC UP AND UNDER
Is there a need to save trees from illegal loggers and
kaingeros?
How?
3 Seconds MSC UP AND UNDER
Yes, very good! There is!

The Philippine government with the Department of

Environmental and Natural Resources (DENR) and
other agencies remain committed in greening the planet
through Tree Planting Activities, Gulayan sa Paaralan,
and preservation of mangrove swamps. Illegal loggers
and kaingeros are put behind bars. Campaigns for the
preservation of trees and forests are also being done. In
our own little way, we can save trees by planting new
ones.
3 Seconds MSC UP AND UNDER
Now that you already know about the importance of
trees, let’s apply it in reality .
MSC UP AND UNDER
Listen and understand carefully!
3 Seconds MSC UP AND UNDER
Here are the scenarios.

1.You see group of people cutting trees for firewood. As

a young child, what will you tell them?
3 Seconds MSC UP AND UNDER
If your answer is cutting down trees can lead to
negative impacts and ruin our ecosystem and
environment as a whole. Greatt! That is correctt!
3 Seconds MSC UP AND UNDER
2. You see a man who is an illegal logger in the
forest,what will you do?
MSC UP AND UNDER
If you answered,tell him that illegal logging is bad and
cutting trees can result in the loss of habitat for animal
species and can harm ecosystem. You are correct!
3 Seconds MSC UP AND UNDER
3. You have watched in the TV about the advisory of the
coming typhoon that might bring heavy rain. You see a
man cutting trees outside your home. What will you do?
3 Seconds MSC UP AND UNDER
If your answer is tell the man about the typhoon and
tell him that trees can help absorb rainwater to avoid
flooding and roots hold soil in place that fight soil
erosion. Very good! that is correct!
3 Seconds MSC UP AND UNDER
Now, Let’s deepen it more by answering another
situation.
3 Seconds MSC UP AND UNDER
Here is the situation :
 If people will not control the illegal cutting of trees, what
could be its effect to the following:
3 Seconds MSC UP AND UNDER
1. People

If your answer is people don’t have source of building

materials and source of food anymore. You are correct!
3 Seconds MSC UP AND UNDER
2. Air

If your answer is air will become pollutant and nothing

can absorb carbon dioxide which makes the air warmer.
Correct! Very good!
3 Seconds MSC UP AND UNDER
3. Animals
If your answer is cutting trees can result in the loss of
habitat for animal species. You are correct!
3 Seconds MSC UP AND UNDER

4. Land

If your answer is there is no more thing that will absorb

the water that cause flooding and prevent soil erosion
and landslide . You are correct!
3 Seconds MSC UP AND UNDER

To sum it up, why are healthy trees and clean

environment important to people and animals?
3 Seconds MSC UP AND UNDER
Very good! Trees and clean environment are important
to people and animals because, they reduce air
pollution, provide food and shelter for wildlife, minimize
erosion and maintain healthy soil,and increase rainfall.
Simply, trees are an essential component of life on
Earth.
3 Seconds MSC UP AND UNDER
I hope you were able to answer the questions correctly.
So at this point, I congratulate all of you for doing a
great job!
