Group II- House
the group once they see the picture all they have to do is to
Group III- Gases
stand and act according to their assigned picture. The group
who fails to respond directly will be out and the remaining Group IV -Trapped
group will be declared as winner. Group V- Heat

C. Presenting examples/instances of the new lesson

The teacher will ask the students:

your room? How did you feel?

D. Discussing new concepts and practicing new skills #1

Discussion

The teacher will discuss about greenhouse and how it

works.

The teacher will also explain why Earth’s atmosphere is

compared to a greenhouse and how greenhouse effect
happens.

To further understand the effect of greenhouse gases the

teacher will show a twin planets and the concentration of
carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Ask the students:

1. What gas is present in the atmosphere of Venus that

explains its high surface temperature?
2. With the high surface temperature of Venus due to its
high carbon dioxide concentration, do you think life forms
like those we know of could exist there? Why or why not?

GROUP ACTIVITY

The teacher will group the students into five. Let them do
the activity assigned to them.
Group I – Observe the graph of Atmospheric Carbon Students’ answer may vary.
Dioxide and answer the guide questions.

Guide Questions:

1. What does the data tell us about the Carbon dioxide

concentration of the world?
2. How can an increase in Carbon dioxide affect us?

Group II – Observe the graph of Global Fossil Carbon

Emission and answer the guide question.
Students’ answer may vary.

1. Which fossil fuel has the highest contribution to carbon

dioxide concentration in the atmosphere?
2. What human activities use this fuel? List at least two.
3. Are we also contributing to the increase in carbon
dioxide concentration in the atmosphere? Why or why not?

Group III- Draw or Illustrate the interpretation about the

ozone depletion.

OZONE DEPLETION
 Planet Earth has its own
natural sunscreen that
shields us from the sun’s
damaging ultraviolet Students’ answer may vary.
radiation. It’s called the
ozone layer: a fragile
band of gases beginning
15 kilometres above our
planet, and reaching up
to the 40- kilometre level.
Human activities have
caused a substantial
thinning of this protective
covering- not only over
the North and South
Poles, but right over our
heads.
Group IV – Draw or illustrate the interpretation about the Students’ answer may vary.
Global Warming.
Subject Drawing
GLOBAL WARMING
 Global warming is the term
used to describe a gradual
increase in the average
temperature of the Earth’s
atmosphere and its
oceans, a change that is
believed to be permanently
changing the Earth’s
Climate.

b. II only
c. I and II only
d. II, III, and IV

2. What is the reason to support the statement, “Cutting

trees in large areas contributes to global warming?”

water vapor in the atmosphere will not be used up. 2. A
d. Plants use nitrogen to make food. When trees are cut,
nitrogen in the atmosphere will not be used up.

3. Water vapor and Carbon dioxide are both

greenhouse gases. Why are we so worried about
increasing carbon dioxide and NOT water vapor?
a. This is usually an indication that EL Nino event is under
way.
b. Land heats up faster than water during the day and it also
cools faster at night. 3. C
c. Global warming is primarily a problem of too much carbon
dioxide in the atmosphere.
d. Water vapor collects in the atmosphere but falls as rain
when they are heavy enough.
