Lesson Plan in Science Level/Year: Grade 7 I. Learning Objectives

This lesson plan outlines a 7th grade science lesson about the layers of the Earth. The objectives are for students to be able to identify and differentiate the four layers of the Earth, and create a model of the Earth labeling the layers. The lesson begins with a review of the previous lesson on latitude and longitude. It then motivates students by showing pictures of the Philippines' natural beauty and resources. The lesson discusses the country's water forms, biodiversity, and mineral deposits as examples of natural resources. Students then participate in an activity identifying human impacts on resources like deforestation, urbanization, pollution, and overextraction. Finally, students are assigned to make a slogan promoting natural resource conservation.

III. Lesson Proper

Teacher’s Activity Learner’s Activity


A. Routinary Activities
May we all stand for the prayer. Who can lead the
prayer?
(A student lead the prayer)
Good morning class!
Good morning mam!
You may now take your seat.
Thank you mam.
Let me check the attendance first. Make sure that you
are in your proper seats so that you will not be marked
absent.
(Check attendance using a seat plan)
Very Good! Everybody is present.

B. Review of the Past Lesson


Do you still remember our lesson last meeting? Yes mam.
What had we discussed? We have discussed on using latitude and longitude in
locating places on Earth.
Yes. Exactly! We made use of latitude and longitude in
locating different places on Earth.

What is the relationship between the latitude of a place The closer the latitude to the equator, the warmer the
and the climate it experiences? climate and the closer it is to the poles, the colder the
climate they experience.
Very Good!

C. Motivation
To start our new lesson, I will be showing you some
pictures of the beauty the Philippines.

D. Presentation / Discussion

What are the things you have observed on the Our country has many natural resources.
pictures?

Yes! Exactly. Our country is bountiful in natural


resources starting from varied physical features down
to the diverse plant and animal forms.

Talking about how lucky we are in the Philippines to We were able to explore the different rich natural
have such things, what can you associate with the resources found in the Philippine Archipelago.
word “resources”?

Yes?

These are the things that are available around us which


we use for different purposes.

Resources are things that can be used to support, help,


or drawn on when needed.

Based on your answers, we can define resources as


things used by people in order to survive or satisfy
needs.

Anybody who wants to give examples of resources? e.g., air, water, plants, animals, soil, rocks, minerals,
crude oil, and other fossil fuels, sunlight, wind, car,
house, clothes, jewelry, money, etc.

Very Good!

Resources such as air, water, plants, animals, soil,


rocks, minerals, crude oil, and other fossil fuels,
sunlight, and wind are considered as natural resources
because they are already available in the nature.

Now, since we are talking about resources, Philippines


as an archipelago, is considered to be rich in natural
resources!

Let’s name out the natural resources of our country.

We are blessed with the presence of different water


forms.

What are these water forms Bays, rivers, lakes, falls, gulfs, straits and swamps.

What is the importance of these water forms? These bodies of water support the survival of diverse
organisms for food as well as for economic activities.
Precisely.

The presence of water in a specific environment is said


to be accountable for supporting high biodiversity in
that area. Biodiversity means the presence various
plants and animal life in a particular habitat.

Can we name some of the plants and animals we can


find in our country? Narra, Coconut tree,Acacia
Good!

Those species that you have mentioned are all


common.

Since our country is rich also in biodiversity,


Philippines is considered to be the home of endemic
species. When we say endemic species, these are
species which can be found only in a certain area and
not in any other places.
Like Tamaraw in Mindoro, Tarsier in Bohol and
Mouse Deer or Pilandok in Palawan (etc.)
We also have mineral deposits in the country. (students answer may vary)
What are the minerals that you know?

Where are these minerals located or can be found? Gold, Copper, Chromite, Iron, Manganese, Nickel,
Sand, Limestone, Marble, Clay, Silica, etc.
Philippine mineral deposits are classified as either
metallic or non-metalllic.
Some are found near volcanoes, in rocks and near
Gold, Copper, Chromite, Iron, Manganese and Nickel rivers, beaches etc.
are some of the metallic minerals we have while Sand,
Limestone, Marble, Clay, and Silica are some of the
non-metallic minerals we have in our country.

Where do we usually use metals? We use metals in softdrink industry, at home, in


school, farm, and other places.
Yes indeed.

Mineral deposits can be found were volcanoes or


trenches are present. We have many volcanoes in the
Philippines and most of them are active.

Can you name some of the famous volcanoes? (Answers may vary) Mt. Mayon, Mt. Pinatubo

Because of the presence of numerous volcanoes in our


place, our country belongs to the “Pacific Ring of
Fire”.

E. Practice

We have already familiarized ourselves with the


natural resources we have in our country.

Today, we are going to brainstorm on how people


destroy natural resources.

Now, I want everybody to to get piece of bond paper.

Listen to the instruction.

I will be showing you some illustrations. You will be


shown a “Before” and “After” of a certain situation or
activities. Afterwards, you are going to determine the
effects of these activities to our natural resources.
Did you get it?

Lets start.

(Present “Before” and “After” of a certain situation)

Before After Human Activity Effects

When roads are built,


mountains are blown off
using dynamite.
Group 2
Ricefields are turned into
residential or commercial
centers.

More factories are being


built to keep up with the
demands of a fast growing
population & industrialization

Too much mining & quarrying


for the porpuse of getting
precious metals & gravel/stone

Plastics and other garbage are


thrown on the rivers and other
bodies of water

Now that you already visualize the way people destroy


natural resources, you can now start writing down the
effects. Let’s do this for 10 minutes.

After Performing Activity…

May I request to paste their work on the board.

Anybody who has a question?

F. Valuing

As we can see, nature provided us with the rich natural


resources which are of great benefit to us. In return, let
us protect and conserve the richness of the country’s
natural resources.

IV. Evaluation

Direction: On a one fourth (1/4) sheet of paper, answer the question below with a brief answer.
1. Since many of the resources that we have today are not in endless supply, as a student in what way can
you help conserve and protect our natural resources?

V. Assignment

Make a slogan showing how to protect and conserve our natural resources. Put it in a ¼ cartolina of any
color. Design your slogan artistically and make it presentable to the class. Deadline for the submission of
slogan will be on Wednesday 24, 2018.
