 Group Activity:

The students will be group and they will be given topics to be discuss in
C. Presenting
front of the class. This activity will extract their prior knowledge about the
examples/instances of
following topics:
the new lesson
(PRE-ACTIVITY)
a. Exploitation
b. Extraction
C. Use of mineral resources
The students will their own knowledge regarding the topics:

Ways to Prevent/Mitigate or lessen the Environmental Impact

D. Discussing new Exploitation Extraction Use of mineral
concepts and resources
practicing new skills 1
(ACTIVITY PROPER)

Discussion:

The Teacher will discuss the below ways:

What You Can Do

There are a number of ways to reduce the environmental impacts of

mining, including:

1. Reducing the consumption of minerals

E. Discussing new 2. The efficiency of manufacturing processes can be increased to reduce
concepts and the amount of new minerals required
practicing new skills 2 3. Substitution of other materials and processes with more
(DEEPENING) environmentally friendly materials and processes
4. Using recycled materials instead of mined materials
5. Improving environmental performance at mines
6. Legislation and regulations to reduce environmental impacts can be
enacted and enforced
7. Cleaning up abandoned mine sites
8. Economic measures

F. Developing mastery The students will summarize and make pneumonics regarding the “What
(POST-ACTIVITY) You Can Do” discussion.

Let the students give the results of environmental impacts of exploitation,

G. Finding practical
extraction and use of mineral resources in their locality and create a plan
applications of
or strategy that may help to reduce the impacts of the said topics.

2
 concepts and skills in
daily living
(APPLICATION)
Based on the objectives stated previously, ask the following questions:

1. What are the environmental impacts resulted from exploitation,

H. Making generalizations extraction and use of mineral resources?
and abstractions about 2. What are the possible ways to mitigate these problems?
the lesson 3. What are the importance of preserving our natural resources?
(GENERALIZATION)

I. Evaluating learning Multiple Choice Quiz

(ASSESSMENT)
Cite organization in the Philippines that helps to preserve our natural
resources. Identify their objectives, programs and plan.

Rubrics:

J. Additional activities for (5 points) Exceptional – student responses far exceed what is expected
application or (4 points) Excellent – information is factually accurate and offers extra
remediation supporting facts.
(REMEDIAL) (3 points) Good – The student somewhat responds beyond the basic
level of the question to provide supporting details and or interpretation.
(2 points) Fair – student responses, although somewhat correct, are
lacking in relevant details and supporting examples and or interpretation.
(1 point) Not Mastered - student responses are largely incorrect.
