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. Identify human activities, such as farming, construction of structures, and waste disposal, that affect the quality and quantity of soil. S11ES-lh-17
2. Give ways of conserving and protecting the soil for future generations. S11ES-Ih-i-18
Write the LC Code for each

Specific Objectives:
a. identify various human activities, such as farming, construction of structures, and waste disposal that affect the quality and quantity of soil.
b. distinguish some of the human activities they can see in the locality which affect the quality and quantity of soil.
c. formulate ways of conserving and protecting the soil for future generations.
