I.OBJECTIVES
A.Content Standards The learners demonstrate understanding of...
1. the three main categories of rocks.
2. the origin and environment of formation of common minerals and rocks.
3. the various sources of energy (fossil fuels, geothermal, hydroelectric).
4. the amount of usable water resources on Earth
5. the distribution of arable land on Earth.
6. waste generation and management.

B.Performance Standards The learners should be able to...

1. make a plan that the community may use to conserve and protect its resources for future generations.
2. prepare a plan that the community may implement to minimize waste when people utilize materials and resources

C.Learning Competencies/Objectives 1. Describe how people generate different types of waste (solid, liquid, and gaseous) as they make use of various materials and resources in everyday life (S11/12ES-
Ii-19)
Write the LC Code for each
2. Explain how different types of waste affect people’s health and the environment (S11/12ES-Ii-j-20)

Specific Objectives:
a. discuss why soil is an important Earth resource.
b. describe the different textures and components of soil.
c. name the different types of waste that can affect the quality of the soil.
d. internalize that waste can be reduced, reuse, and recycle.
e. apply the knowledge to everyday living especially during planting or farming.
