Subject: Science 7

QUARTER: 1st UNIT: First

UNIT TOPIC: Matter (Classifications of Matter) NUMBER OF MEETINGS: 15 days

CONTENT STANDARD:
The students will demonstrate understanding of

scientific ways of acquiring knowledge and solving problems.

the nature and process of scientific investigation to be able to analyze the

appropriate uses and effects of solutions, mixtures, elements and compounds
commonly consumed by humans and are found in the environment.

KNOWLEDGE + SKILLS

Day 1: Scientific Method (Identifying Problem)

Day 2: Scientific Method (Identifying Variables)
Day 3: Scientific Method (Gathering Data)
Day 4: Elements and Compounds (Nature)
Day 5: Elements and Compounds (in a Mixture)
Day 6: Elements (Human Body and Environment)
Day 7: Elements (Classification)

TRANSFER GOAL:

The students, in the long run and on their own, will be able to:

Independently use their knowledge on the nature and process of scientific investigation
to conduct a scientific investigation by utilizing biodegradable and non-
biodegradable substances to eventually make rational decisions in addressing
existing environmental issues specifically on waste management, thus, becoming a
resourceful and responsible stewards of God’s creation.

ASSESSMENT

Performace/Transfer Task

Performance Task: Waste Utilization Campaign

As an environmentalist supporting the Local Government Units in partnership with the

Department of Science and Technology in looking for solutions for some environmental
problems through waste utilization campaign, you are to conduct scientific investigations and
organize a campaign in utilizing biodegradable and biodegradable waste materials to deepen
the thrust of saving the environment and the same time producing useful products.

GOAL: To show understanding of the elements and compounds used at home and community,
their advantages and harmful effects to human and the environment by promoting a good
waste utilization program.

ROLE: You are to organize a waste utilization campaign program.

AUDIENCE: Community

SITUATION: You are to organize a waste utilization campaign in celebration of the Science
Week of the school about utilizing biodegradable and biodegradable waste materials to deepen
the thrust of saving the environment and the same time producing useful products.

PRODUCTS:
o Product 1 – A waste utilization campaign poster which must include top fine waste
materials generated by the household and ways on how these may be managed
properly.
o Product 2 – A slideshow presentation for 30 – 40 minutes explanation of an effective
waste utilization program at home, school and community.
o Product 3 – A 5” x 8” pamphlet with four to six pages on Effective Waste Utilization
program to be distributed to the students to heighten their awareness on the proper
sorting of materials according to use and proper disposal of waste at home, school and
community.

Standards and Criteria for Success:

The waste utilization campaign should include all the important details in terms of content,
focus, persuasive language, product and resources.
