EXPLAIN
(15 MINS) Discussion:

What are things you have observed in the video?
Answer: Student’s answers vary

How lucky we are in the Philippines to have such things, what can you
associate with the word “resources”?
Answer: Student’s answers vary

Based on your answers, we can define resources as things used by the people
in order to survive or satisfy needs. (Anybody who wants to give examples of
resources?)
Answer: Student’s answers vary

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 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?
What is the importance of these water forms?
Answer: Student’s answers vary

WATER FORM IN THE PHILIPPINES

Bays Rivers Lakes Falls  Gulfs Straits Swamps

These bodies of water support the survival of diverse organisms for food as well
as for economic activities.

The presence of water in a specific environment is said to be accountable for

supporting high biodiversity in that area. Biodiversity means the presence of
various plants and animals in a particular habitat.

Can you name some of the plants and animals we can find in our country?
Answer: Student’s answers vary

Since our country is rich also in biodiversity. Philippines is considered to be

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.

We also have mineral deposits in the country. What are the minerals that you
know?
Answer: Student’s answers vary.

Where these minerals are located or can be found?

Answer: Student’s answers vary.

Philippine mineral deposits are classified as either metallic or non-metallic.

METALLIC MINERALS
1.Gold 2.Copper 3.Chromite 4.Iron 5.Manganese 6.Nickel
NON-METALLIC MINERALS
1.Sand 2.Clay 3.Limestone 4.Marble 5.Silica
 Where do we usually see metals?
Answer: Student’s answers vary.

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 in our country?

Answer: Student’s answers vary.

Because of the presence of numerous volcanoes in our place, our country belongs
to the “Pacific Ring of Fire”.

Aside from that we also have energy resources. What are some of these energy
resources?
Answer: Student’s answers vary.

ENERGY RESOURCES
1.Solar Energy 2.Geothermal Energy 3.Hydrothermal Energy
4.Wind Energy 5.Natural Gas

Do we have examples of the energy resources in our place?

Answer: Student’s answers vary.

II. Directions: Answer the following questions.

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?
