1. Environmental Protection for Community Wellness This presentation explores the importance of environmental protection for community wellness, focusing on key environmental issues in the Philippines and their impact on human health, biodiversity, and the economy. by Rosarie Charish Pincas

2. Curriculum Content, Standards, and Lesson Competencies 1 Content Standards The learner demonstrates understanding of the principles in protecting the environment for community wellness. 2 Performance Standards The learner consistently demonstrates healthful practices to protect the environment for community wellness. 3 Learning Competencies Discusses the nature of environmental issues H9CE-Ib-d-11 Analyzes the effects of environmental issues on people’s health H9CE-Ib-d-12 4 Learning Objectives • Knowledge: Identify the main environmental problems in the Philippines and their causes. • Skills: Analyze the effects of environmental problems on human health, biodiversity, and the economy. • Attitudes: Demonstrate responsibility toward environmental protection and propose solutions.

3. Environmental Problems in the Philippines Deforestation Deforestation, particularly in mountainous regions, leads to habitat destruction, soil erosion, and increased vulnerability to natural disasters. Pollution Water pollution occurs when waste, chemicals, and other pollutants contaminate rivers, lakes, and oceans. Air pollution is caused by the emission of harmful gases such as carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides from vehicles and industries. Other Issues Flash floods, soil erosion, illegal mining, oil spills, and coral degradation are also significant environmental problems in the Philippines.

4. Science Integration Air Pollution Explain how factories and vehicles emit harmful gases that damage the atmosphere and human health. Deforestation Discuss the causes and consequences of forest destruction, such as loss of biodiversity, floods, and landslides.

5. Social Studies Integration 1 Urbanization and Population Growth Rapid urbanization in cities like Tacloban has resulted in increased pollution, poor waste management, and overexploitation of natural resources. 2 Government Initiatives Programs such as solid waste management laws and reforestation efforts are in place, but community participation is crucial for their success.

6. Teaching and Learning Procedure Activating Prior Knowledge Activity 1:"Eco Quiz: Test Your Knowledge with Plickers!" Instructions: • Students answer a 5-item multiple-choice quiz to assess their prior knowledge. The teacher reads out each question, and students will hold up cards indicating their chosen answer (A, B, C, or D). • Questions: 1. Which of the following is a major cause of air pollution in urban areas? A) Tree planting B) Car emissions C) Fishing D) Solar energy (Correct Answer: B) 2. What is one consequence of deforestation? A) Improved air quality C) Decreased population B) Increased flooding D) Higher crop yield (Correct Answer:) 3. What type of pollution affects rivers and oceans the most? A) Air pollution B) Water pollution C) Noise pollution (Correct Answer: B) 4. Which sector is most affected by illegal mining? A) Transportation B) Agriculture C) Health D) Fisheries (Correct Answer: D 5. Which of the following is a solution to combat climate change? A) Deforestation B) Using renewable energy C) Burning more fossil fuels D) Dumping waste (Correct Answer: B) • The teacher will check it by scanning the cards using plicker.com Establishing Lesson Purpose Activity 2:"Green Light/Red Light: Environmental Causes and Effects" Objective: To help students identify and understand the causes and effects of environmental problems in the Philippines through an interactive card-based game. • Explain the rules to the students: • The teacher will read and show a statement, students will use their green or red cards to show their response. • Green Card: Indicates the statement is true (the cause or effect described is accurate). • Red Card: Indicates the statement is false (the cause or effect described is not accurate). Game Statements: Read each statement aloud and have students hold up the appropriate card: 1. "Air pollution is significantly caused by vehicle emissions and industrial smoke." (Students should hold up a green card if they agree.) 2. "Deforestation improves local water quality by reducing sedimentation." (Students should hold up a red card if they disagree.) 3. "Improper waste disposal leads to water pollution and affects aquatic life." (Students should hold up a green card if they agree.) 4. "Oil spills have no impact on marine ecosystems." (Students should hold up a red card if they disagree.) 5. "Community actions such as clean-up drives can help reduce local pollution." (Students should hold up a green card if they agree.) • Discuss each statement after students have shown their cards. • Explain why each statement is true or false and provide additional information to deepen understanding. • Encourage students to ask questions or share thoughts about the statements to reinforce learning. Developing and Deepening Understanding Activity 3: "Interactive Environmental Problems Overview" Objective: To deepen students' understanding of Environmental Problems such as air and water pollution, their causes, effects, and mitigation strategies. • Discuss several critical environmental issues facing the Philippines, focusing on deforestation, pollution, flash floods, soil erosion, illegal mining, oil spills, and coral degradation. • In the discussion the teacher will integrate to other subjects:  Science Integration:  Air Pollution: Explain how factories and vehicles emit harmful gases that damage the atmosphere and human health.  Deforestation: Discuss the causes and consequences of forest destruction, such as loss of biodiversity, floods, and landslides.  Social Studies Integration  Emphasize the role of government and policies in addressing these issues, like the implementation of environmental protection laws Today, we will discuss key environmental problems in the Philippines, such as deforestation, pollution, flash floods, soil erosion, illegal mining, oil spills, and coral degradation. We will focus on how these issues affect Region 8 (Eastern Visayas), including areas like Leyte, Samar, and Biliran, and integrate science and social studies to explore causes and solutions.

7. Making Generalization Causes of Pollution Effects of Pollution Solutions and Regulations Vehicle emissions, industrial smoke, improper waste disposal Respiratory diseases, water contamination, habitat destruction Government policies, community actions, sustainable practices

8. Evaluating Learning Linguistic Intelligence Write and present a persuasive speech about the impact of deforestation and what actions the government and citizens can take to reduce it. Spatial Intelligence Create a visual poster demonstrating the effects of air pollution on human health and how the community can switch to renewable energy. Logical-Mathematical Intelligence Develop and present a flow chart explaining the cause-and-effect relationship between water pollution and marine life decline, including relevant statistics. Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence Plan and demonstrate a community clean-up campaign that could be implemented in their school to address waste management issues.
