number?
c. Which recyclable materials has the least number?

d. Where do these recyclable materials mostly found?

( Answers may vary depending on the result of the activity)
3. After a thorough discussion, guide the pupils in constructing the main
idea or concept learned by completing the sentence below:
Now I have learned that _____________________________
_______________________________________________________
D. Elaboration:
Help the pupils construct and express their own understanding. The
pupils should be able to say/understand that:
Recyclable materials are waste materials that can be made into
another useful product.
There are many recyclable materials found in the home, classrooms
and local communities.
The most common recyclable materials found in the community are
used paper pads/notebooks, used plastic bottle, food wrappers,
plastic bags, glass bottle
E. Evaluation:
Pupils activity outputs may be taken as a form of assessing their
knowledge/ understanding formatively. But please take note that such
assessment results should be recorded but not graded since it is formative
in nature.
IV. Assignment:
Based on the results of the survey, choose 1 recyclable materials
mostly found within your community. Make a plan together with your
groupmates on what recyclable materials will you use in designing/making
it into a useful product. Bring all the needed materials tomorrow.

money and to discourage more production of new items.
You recycle materials when you transform them into new item that
serves a purpose different from that of the original item.
