3. Lesson Activity
Students are going to watch videos on how to properly managed agricultural
wastes. IGESjapan. (2018, July). Developing a Waste Management Strategy:
Transforming Waste from Problem to Resource [Video]. YouTube.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItPO_Wq6dm8 (23 min.)
Questions to ponder:
1. Any reaction from the videos we just watched a while ago?
2. As a grade 7 students, how do you think you can help reduce waste in your
home, in school and in your community?
(To apply what the students learned during the lesson, a supplemental activity will
be given. See worksheet #1 for the activity which students will accomplish.)
SUB-TOPIC 2: Types of Wastes
1. Explicitation
What are the different types of wastes?
2. Worked Sample
Agricultural wastes are various wastes produced in the agricultural field.
Example: cattle waste, weed, husk, etc.
3. Lesson Activity
Different Types of Waste
1. Liquid Waste - is commonly found in households as well as in industries. This
waste includes dirty water, organic liquids, wash water, waste detergents and
even rainwater.
2. Solid Rubbish - Solid rubbish can include various items found in your household,
along with commercial and industrial locations. Solid rubbish is commonly broken
down into the following types:
a. Plastic waste – consists of plastic bags, containers, jars, bottles and other
products that can be found at home. Plastic is not biodegradable, other types of
plastic can be recycled. Take note that plastic should not be mixed in with your
regular waste; it should be sorted and placed in your recycling bin.
b. Paper/card waste – includes packaging materials, old newspapers, used
cardboard and other products. Paper can easily be recycled and reused, so place
them in your recycling bin and think of the best way how you can use those as
your materials in creating something saleable out of it.
c. Tins and metals – can be found in various forms throughout your home.
Most metals can be recycled. It can be recycled and used in making some display
materials at home like creating flower vase, small lampshade etc.
d. Ceramics and glass – These items can easily be recycled. Look for special glass
and bottles and can create them into something useful like sugar, coffee, and
cream containers.
3. Organic Waste - Organic waste is another common household. All food waste,
garden waste, manure and rotten meat are classified as organic waste. Over time,
organic waste is turned into manure by microorganisms.
4. Recyclable Rubbish - Recyclable rubbish includes all waste items that can be
converted into products that can be used again. Solid items such as paper, metals,
furniture and organic waste can all be recycled.
5. Hazardous waste includes all types of flammables, toxic, corrosive and reactive
rubbish. It also includes radioactive waste and chemical wastes.
Example: paints, batteries, light bulbs, fluorescent tubes, pesticides, weed killers,
gas bottles, chemical fertilizers, etc.
6. Industrial waste- Industrial waste is any type of waste that is produced by an
industrial process. This can include manufacturing, construction and mining
processes. This is a broad category that can include anything from asbestos and
clinical waste to oil and chemicals.
SUB-TOPIC 3: How to Make Basket Composting at Home or in School
1. Explicitation
1. What are the materials needed in making a basket compost at home?
2. How do we pile the waste materials in a basket for composting?
3. Why do we need to try making our own basket composting?
2. Worked Sample
The teacher may actually demonstrate how basket composting is done.
Materials Needed for Basket Composting:
● Used plastic water container (removed upper part of it by cutting using a cutter
or pair of scissors).
●Prepare dried leaves taken from your backyard.
●Rotten produce, like vegetables and fruit peeling
●Eggshells
●Soil
●Water
● Hand trowel
● Disposable hand gloves
Procedures in Making Basket Compost:
1. Prepare all the materials needed for basket composting.
2. Separate dried leaves, peeling of fruits and rotten produce.
3. In a plastic container put some soil in the bottom part of it.
4. Add rotten produce like dried leaves, fruit peeling, eggshells and rotten
vegetables and pile it as the next layer. Alternately add the soil and the prepared
rotten produce until it reaches the top part of the plastic container.
5. And water the compost pile placed in the water container, wait until the piled
compost decomposed.
3. Lesson Activity
After the teacher were able to demonstrate how to make basket composting,
student will then perform their individualized basket compost.
SUB-TOPIC 4: How to make Fermented Foliar Fertilizer
1. Explicitation
1. What are the materials needed in making fermented foliar fertilizer in school or
at home?
2. How do we properly make fermented foliar fertilizer?
3. Why do we need to try making a fermented foliar fertilizer?
2. Worked Example
The students will watch videos on how to make a fermented foliar fertilizer.
After watching the videos, students may now proceed with their individual outputs.
The Millennial Farmer PH. (2020, August). How to make a foliar fertilizer? | Let’s
go organic! | The Millennial Farmer PH [Video]. YouTube.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sz9TlLOjsDM (10 min.).
Materials needed in making a fermented foliar fertilizer
• 1 ripe banana (lakatan)
• 1 apple
• few pieces of grapes (optional)
• 1⁄4 kilos or 250 grams brown sugar
• 1 spoon for mixing the mixtures
• Plastic container with cover
• Clean chopping board
• Knife
Procedures in Making a Fermented Foliar Fertilizer
1. Prepare all the needed ingredients, materials and tools in making a foliar
fertilizer.
2. On a clean chopping board, slice the banana and apple approximately
1/8”combine and weight at 250 grams.
3. Put in a clean plastic container the 1st mixture and add 1⁄4 kilo or 250 grams of
brown sugar. Combine 1st mixtures and sugar, must be 1:1 ratio, mix thoroughly,
repeat mixing the 1st combined mixtures with sugar several times until it blends
well.
4. Once the combined mixtures are already thickened and blends well. Seal it with
a tightly closed container and do not forget to indicate the date when you actually
prepared the sliced fruits and sugar, so that you will be able to determine when it
will achieve 7 days or weeklong fermentation required days.
5. After 7 days of fermentation, you can now check if it resulted well and ready to
be used as organic fertilizer to your flowering plants or other form of plants or
crops.
6. To check, you open the container then, sift the juice that was formed from
the fermented mixtures.
7. You can now make a mixture for spraying it on the plants (1 tsp. of fermented
fruit juice foliar fertilizer plus 100ml. clean water. Then shake the mixture that was
placed in a bottle sprayer.
8. You can now spray it on the plant, use it as an organic fertilizer that will help
your plants develop and grow healthy.
9. Monitor and document if the plants you were able to apply foliar fertilizer
developed and grow successfully (by taking pictures with corresponding dates on
your recorded documentation as a proof).
10. Show and report to your teacher the results of your outputs through submitting
your portfolio of documentation with narratives as your proofs for proper rating.
3. Lesson Activity

Directions: Put a check (/) if you were able to correctly follow its proper sequence
or the steps that was mentioned above. Put an (/) on the part of NO if you forgot or
was not able to follow the procedures correctly.
