Identify the bad effects of a certain

changes in the environment.
S5MT-ic-d-2
1.What is the picture all about?
2.What are the different changes that happened in this place?
3. What are the good effects of certain changes?
4. Are there bad effects of certain changes? What are those bad effects?
1. Group the class into three.
2. Each group will be provided a
picture and a reading material.
3. Study the picture and discuss
among the group what you have read.
Guide Questions:

1. What changes in the environment is

illustrated in each picture?
2. What are the bad effects brought about by
ozone depletion, acid rain and global warming in
the environment?
3. What are the causes of these changes in the
environment?
Ozone Layer Depletion
• The main cause of the ozone hole was found to be gases
that contained Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), Halons and
Freons. Found commonly in aerosol cans and released by
many electronic appliances, these were seen to decrease
the level of ozone in the stratosphere. All of these gases
contain chlorine, which is a major cause behind the
thinning of the ozone layer.
• Effects of the Ozone Hole Thinning of ozone layer means
getting direct in touch with ultra violet rays which can cause
skin cancer or skin irritation which can lead to death.
Exposure to UV rays has also increased the cases of
cataracts which in turn affects people’s vision and could
also cause an increase in people becoming blind.

Acid Rain
• Acid rain refers to a mixture of deposited material, both wet
and dry, coming from the atmosphere containing more than
normal amounts of nitric and sulfuric acids. Rain that is acidic
in nature due to the presence of pollutants in the air due to
cars and industrial processes. It is defined as rain, fog, sleet or
snow that has been acidic by pollutants in the air as a result of
fossil fuel and industrial combustions that mostly emits
Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) and Sulfur Dioxide (SO2).When these
gases react with water molecules and oxygen among other
chemicals found in the atmosphere, acid rain is formed.
• Acid rain generally leads to weathering of buildings, corrosion
of metals, and peeling of paints on surfaces. It may also lead to
poisoning of aquatic animals, affects the plant’s growth as it
lessen the fertility of soil.

Global Warming
• Global warming is the term used to describe a gradual
increase in the average temperature of the Earth’s
atmosphere and its oceans, a change that is believed to be
permanently changing the Earth’s climate. The increased
volumes of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases
released by burning of fossil fuels, land clearing, agriculture,
and other human activities, are believed to be the primary
sources of the global warming.
• Changes resulting from global warming may include rising
sea levels due to the melting of the polar ice caps, as well as
an increase in occurrence and severity of storms and other
severe weather events.
Effects of Global Warming
1. What changes in the environment is
illustrated in each picture?
2. What are the bad effects brought
about by ozone depletion, acid rain and
global warming in the environment?
3. What are the causes of these
changes in the environment?
Do this! These are some bad effects of
certain changes in the environment.
Rearrange them to come up with the
answer.

•What are the effects brought
about by the changes in the
environment?
• How can you help reduce the bad
effects of some changes in the
environment?
•Identify the bad effects of the following changes in
the environment.
________________ 1. Burning diesel and gasoline oil in cars.
_________________ 2. Rusting of iron
__________________3. Shaping some plastics and metals into new
products.
__________________4. Burning leaves and plastics.
__________________5. Producing air conditioners and refrigerators.
•Assignment:
List down at least five conditions/
activities that may help minimize
the bad effects of some changes in
the environment.
