Analysis of Theories, Concepts and Principles

Conduct a simple experiment by simulating activity disturbing the quality

of water resources “ Before and After”.

Materials:
1. clean water
2. basin
3. food color/dye (atleast three different colors preferably blue,
green and red)
4. used plastic cups/bottles or any plastic materials
E. Discussing new
5. clay
concepts and
practicing new skills 2
Procedure:
(DEEPENING)
1. Put clean tap water on the basin
2. Add food color (group I) plastic materials (group II) and clay
(group III)
3. Observe what happen.

Guide Questions:

1. Describe what happen after the addition of food

colors/plastics/clay.
2. How will it affect the quality and availability of water?
3. What does the different materials represent?

F. Developing mastery

 (POST-ACTIVITY) Group Activity:

With their respective groups, list down various activities and enumerate
the possible effects on the quality and availability of water.

3. What are the effects of such activities to the quality and availability
of water resources for human use?

Let the student make a poster and essay about the different activities
affecting water quality.

Rubrics for the essay:

(5 points) Exceptional – student can identify the different activities and

I. Evaluating learning explain their effects evidently on the quality of water
(ASSESSMENT) (4 points) Excellent – student can identify some activities and explain
their effects on the quality of water.
(3 points) Good – The student somewhat responds beyond the basic
level of the question to provide supporting details and or interpretation.
(2 points) Fair – student responses, although somewhat correct, are
lacking in relevant details and supporting examples and or interpretation.
(1 point) Not Mastered - student responses are largely incorrect.
