least three (3) environmental problems present in their
community.
They will also write the effects that these problems can create
on the ecosystem and also the ways in minimizing its harmful
effects accordingly.

and Issues Species/biodiversity Harmful Effects

Presentation must only be in 3 minutes. Each group will choose


their own leader, timekeeper, reporter and a material keeper.
Rubrics will be given
The teacher will give emphasis on the importance of the
following core values to the learners in doing their tasks.
Learners will be using English as their medium of
communication in reporting their output. Creation of sentences
that conforms to correct grammar and syntax in answering
questions in this lesson. Students are to express their learned
concepts. Also writing skills will be enhanced as students will
make an output based on the assigned activity.

Local and Global Environmental issues/problems

Deforestation
One of the country’s environmental problems is the rapid rate at which
trees are cut down. In the Philippines, the major causes of deforestation
are:
Kaingin farming
Illegal logging
Conversion of agricultural lands to housing projects
Forest fires
Typhoons
As a consequence of cutting down trees, the following effects could
take place:
 Soil erosion
 Floods
 Decrease in wildlife resources that will eventually lead to extinction

Question to be asked

1. Did you encounter the same problem in your community?

Wildlife Depletion
As human population gets bigger, huge space is needed for shelter, for
growing crops, and for industries. Deforestation is one of the major
causes of the disappearance of wildlife species. If they cannot find
enough space, many will die or become extinct. Some species may
become endangered, or in the verge of becoming extinct.
Questions to be asked

1. What happens to animal populations that are driven away from


their natural habitat?

Air Pollution

Carbon dioxide acts like a blanket over the Earth, holding in the heat
that would otherwise radiate back into space. The trapping of heat by
gases in the earth’s atmosphere is called greenhouse effect. The
greenhouse effect is a natural process. But as carbon dioxide in the
atmosphere increases, greenhouse effect also intensifies–this will lead
to global warming. Global warming is an increase in the earth’s
temperature from the rapid buildup of carbon dioxide and other gases.
This, in turn, could change the world climate patterns.
Water Pollution
A major problem in lakes, rivers and ponds is eutrophication. It
happens when the concentration of organic nutrients that comes from
domestic garbage and thrown in bodies of water, increases rapidly. It is
supposed to be a slow process, but man’s activities hasten it up.
Another effect of water pollution is mass death of fish, or ‘fish kill’. A
‘fish kill’ usually happens when there is an increase in concentration of
organic nutrients in bodies of water.
1. Have you read articles from the newspapers about ‘fish kill’ in
Manila Bay or some other places? Have you seen such an event
in your area?

Destruction of Coastal Resources


Do you live near coastal areas? Do you remember the times when you
and your friends went to the seashore to gather seashells or played with
some corals or, perhaps, played hide and seek among mangrove trees?
Coral reefs and coastal mangrove forests in the Philippines serve as
breeding grounds and nurseries of marine fishes. But due to man’s
activities, coastal areas are getting destroyed through the years. Some of
these activities include the following:
 Deforestation, agricultural activities, and mining activities
 Dynamite fishing and muro-ami
 Coastal areas’ conversion to beach resorts, residential areas
 Overharvesting
Acid Precipitation
Acid precipitation is commonly known as acid rain. Rainwater is
normally acidic, because carbon dioxide is normally present. Other
pollutants mostly sulfur and nitrogen oxides, make rainwater even more
acidic, with a pH of 5.6 or lower. Emissions from factories and from
exhaust of motor vehicles are some examples of pollutants. Acid rain
can be harmful to living things. It causes yellowing of leaves of trees
and cause leaves to fall. Examine Figure 16. It summarizes the effect of
acid rain.

G FINDING PRACTICALS ELABORATE (Performance Task)


APPLICATIONS OF CONCEPTS AND You are an environmental advocate. On your way back to your
SKILLS IN DAILY LIVING hometown, you saw the destruction brought by the different
environmental problems. You decided to invite your colleagues to come
with you on your next visit with a mission that is to create
environmental awareness among your town mates. You may use your
town mates’ mother tongue language in creating poster, slogan or
speech to accomplish your mission.
The students will use their artistic skills in creating poster and
slogan.

H MAKING GENERALIZATIONS AND Teacher’s processing of the activities and wrap-up discussion.
ABSTRACTIONS ABOUT THE LESSON Questions will be asked.

 What are the different types of environmental issues and problems
that contribute to species extinction that are shown in the video?
 Why do you think people are not paying enough attention to the
environment?
 Will taking action make our lives better or safer, or it will only make a
difference to future generations?
 What can we do to protect the environment?
 As a student, what little things do you think you could do to help
minimize the effect of the said issues to our environment?
