● Aerobic Composting – decomposing of organic

materials using microorganisms that require

oxygen. It requires the introduction of oxygen to
the compost pile to allow aerobic microbes to
thrive.
Aerobic composting needs to be turned very few
days to allow for proper air circulation. This https://aerobiccomposting.peatix.com/

composting process is best used outside and can be used with a

large amount of materials.
● Agricultural Waste - is unwanted or unsalable materials produced
wholly from agricultural operations directly related to the growing of crops
or raising of animals for the primary purpose of making a profit or for a
livelihood.
● Anaerobic Composting – decomposes waste
without oxygen. Organic materials are piled up
and breakdown naturally. This process does not
need any type of maintenance and do not need
to be turned.

● Compost – is used to improve the soil fertility

agriculture and organic farming.
● Composting - the natural process of recycling
organic matter, such as leaves and food scraps,
into a valuable fertilizer that can enrich soil

● Waste - is any substance which is discarded after primary use or in other

words, there is no further use for the product. We generate a huge
amount of wastes in our everyday life.
● Waste Management - refers to the various ways of managing and
disposing of wastes. It can be by discarding, destroying, processing,
recycling, reusing, or controlling wastes.
● Waste Processing – is a way of applying operations using facilities on
how to change solid wastes into chemical, physical, or biological
properties to make it easier to dispose of, recover a resource, or transfer
solid waste materials.

basic
functions?

2. Worked Example
Discuss and explain to the class clearly the waste management system’s
six
basic functions.
1. Production - is the function of the amount and nature of agricultural
waste generated by an agricultural enterprise. The waste requires
management if the quantity produced is sufficient enough to become
a resource concern. A complete analysis of production includes the
kind, consistency, volume, location, and timing of the waste produced.
2. Collection - refers to the initial capture and gathering of the waste
from the point of origin or deposition to a collection point. The method
of collection, location of the collection points, scheduling of the
collection, labor requirements, necessary equipment or structural
facilities, management and installation costs of the components, and
the impact that collection has on the consistency of the waste should
be identified.
3. Transfer - refers to the movement and transportation of the waste
throughout the system. It includes the transfer of the waste from the
collection point to the storage facility, to the treatment facility, and to
the utilization site.
4. Storage - is the temporary containment of the waste. The storage
facility of a waste management system is the tool that gives the
manager control over the scheduling and timing of the system
functions.
5. Treatment - is another function designed to reduce the pollution
potential or modify the physical characteristics of the waste, such as
moisture and total solid (TS) content, to facilitate more efficient and
effective handling. Manure treatment is comprised of physical,
biological, and chemical unit processes. It also includes activities that

solids.

treated, they can be marketable. different forms of wastes.

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.)

DAY 2 - 3
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
8
household, along with commercial and industrial locations. Solid rubbish

9
 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 Actual making of Basket

3. Put in a clean plastic container the 1st mixture and add ¼ 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
