Science Lesson: Protecting the Environment

Good day, everyone! Today, we are going to learn about ENVIRONMENT, PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT. Are you ready? Let's go! The environment supports the lives of all living things on Earth. If the environment is polluted or damaged, the lives of all living things will be in danger, including ours. Therefore, we should protect the environment. What should we do to protect our environment? Now let us know more. What is deforestation? Deforestation is the excessive cutting down of trees. It will damage the quality of land and result in landslides, floods, loss of home for many animals and plants, as well as add more carbon dioxide to the air. So what should we do? Therefore, we should reduce deforestation and start planting trees for every tree we cut. Reforestation removes carbon dioxide from the air, restores habitat loss, and prevents soil erosion. Rivers are our main source of water. We should not throw garbage or any waste materials into rivers. We should dispose garbage properly in trash bins. Sewage should be treated before it is released into the rivers. We should educate everyone the importance of the environment to all the living things. We should practice 3Rs, reduce, reuse, and recycle, in our daily life. The practice of 3Rs helps reduce waste materials and the need for raw materials. If we reduce the amount of things we use, we will have fewer things to throw away. We can reduce the use of disposable items such as paper cups, plates, razors, and lighters by using less of them. We can reduce the use of paper by using both sides of the paper. We can reduce the use of electricity by turning off electrical appliances when not using them. We can reduce the use of plastic grocery bags by bringing our own cloth bags while shopping. How about reuse? Reuse is taking unwanted items and finding new uses for them. We can donate unwanted clothes, toys, and books. We can use cartoons as pencil holders, old tires as swings, and plastic grocery bags as garbage bags. By recycling, we use the materials from unwanted things to make new products. What can we recycle? We can recycle the paper products, the glass products, the plastic products, and the metal products. Do you know how these materials can be recycled? Always remember that the environment is very important. We should protect and conserve it. We should practice three R's to protect and conserve the environment. Do you understand? Great! Now, let's have our game time! Are you excited? Let's go! Identify the following statements as true or false. The three R's that we should apply to protect our environment are reduce, refuse, and rot. True or False? The correct answer is False! Good job! We should throw garbage anywhere. True The correct answer is False! Very good! Reforestation is the cutting down of trees for development. True False The correct answer is False! Perfect! Sewage should be treated before it is released into the rivers and seas. True False The correct answer is True! Very good! The public needs to be educated on the importance of caring for the environment. True False The correct answer is True! Perfect! I hope you had a great time learning!
