REVIEW QUICK BLINK:
Some learners will be asked to identify and describe briefly the Principles
of “five S”.
Time allotted: 3-5 minutes (Time Management)
MOTIVATION LET’S WATCH LET’S RECYCLE
The learners will watch a short film (2 minutes) about recycling by
Swachh Bharath. After that, they will answer orally the processing
questions presented on the screen.
The learners will answer the following questions:
1. What can you say about the video?
2. What did you feel while watching the video?
3. Did you find it interesting?
4. What is the message of the video?
Time allotted: 5-7 minutes (Time Management/ Learner-centered
Activity/Innovative Teaching Strategies/Art of Questioning)
ACTIVITY ANAGRAM
The learners will be group into two (2). They will rearrange the scrambled
letters to create a word or phrase provided in an envelope and identify
the materials that are recyclable. After 5 minutes, the representative of
each group will present their work infront of the class.
Time Allotted: 10 minutes (Time Management/ Learner-centered Activity)
ANALYSIS Learners will answer the following questions:
1. Did you enjoy doing the activity?
2. Is it hard to rearrange the scrambled words?
3. What are your thoughts and feelings while doing the activity?
4. What can you say about the words that we generate from this
activity?
5. What do you think is the activity all about?

ABSTRACTION INTERACTIVE DISCUSSION
Recycling is an excellent way of conserving energy and saving the
environment. Waste can be recycled and turned into new products. Here
are some materials that can be recycled:
1. OLD WOOD

3.  This can come from houses, buildings, or fallen trees. Aged
wood can reprocessed, treated, and then put back as new
products. Wood pallets can be made into fine furniture or
fixtures. Recycled wood can be turned into boxes, chairs,
garden accessories and docks, floorings, and even dining
utensils.
 Wood shavings and sawdust can be added into compost
heap. These can also be made into wood laminates by
compressing the wood shavings and sawdust with
adhesives. Recycled wood also saves forests.
2. SCRAP METAL
 Most of the metals come from food, drink, and spray cans.
Cans are made of steel that can be melted and turned into
new cans. Soft drink cans are made of aluminum that can
be recycled easily. Metals are highly salable in junk shops.
Used cans are made into metal packaging or containers for
other materials. These are also used to create cooking
utensils and home accessories or furniture.
3. PAPER
 It varies in color, thickness and texture. White paper is
made from higher quality raw material than brown paper.
This is why recycled white office paper can make more
high-grade paper products. Old newspapers, office papers,
junk mails, and cardboards can be recycled to produce low-
grade paper products. Corrugated cardboard is much
difficult to recycle than thin cardboards. This can be used to
make packaging for groceries, gifts, toys, cosmetics, and
wardrobes.
 Recycled paper can be made into paper-mache, paper
flowers, gift wrappers, paper bags or purses, journals or
memo pads, jewelry boxes, paper beads, photo frames,
paper baskets, among others.
4. PLASTIC
 It ranks number one in quantity in terms of waste. It lasts a
long time in the environment without breaking down. It is
also difficult to recycle and considered as an
“environmental nightmare.”
 Plastic, however, can be made into water and plant
containers, desk organizers, garden lamps, among others.
Make an effort to recycle them. Collect used plastics and
reuse them.Bring them to junk shops to convert them into
cash.
5. GLASS
 Unlike plastic, glass is the easiest material to reuse or
recycle. It can be broken down into small pieces, melted,

4. and then shaped into a new product. Glass containers and
bottles can be turned into candleholders, sand art bottles,
vases, organizers, house decorations, among others.
APPLICATION GROUP ACTIVITY: Learners will be group into four (4). They will classify
the recyclable materials in the box below whether they are made
of wood, metal, paper, glass and plastic. They will write the
materials in their proper column and they will do it in a clean sheet
of paper. (Learner-centered Activity)
Direction: Classify the recyclable materials in the box below whether they
are made of wood, metal, paper, glass and plastic.
Wood Metal Paper Glass Plastic
EVALUATION Learners will identify what is being asked in each statement.
