Do you know that natural resources are things that we
get from nature? Yes, these things help us meet our
basic needs such as food, clothing, and shelter.
Natural resources are also used to make other
products that we use every day. We get natural
resources from the different landforms and water
forms. These resources are classified as land
resources, water resources, and energy resources.
5
Land Resources
The Philippines is rich in natural resources. Part of its land
resources are rich forests which host various plants and animals.
Some examples of Philippine trees are narra, molave, acacia,
lauan, and kamagong.
Land is a very important resources for communities. It is on
the land that we plant trees that provide us materials for building
houses. We also plant crops that provide us food. Landforms
such as plains and valleys are mostly useful sources of land for
farming and housing.
Many natural resources can be found in forests. The forests
are home to many unique and beautiful plants and animals.
Large trees in the forests are cut down and their wood is used to
make many products. However, we must be careful not to cut
too much trees because taking too much resources can do
harm to our environment.
We can find valuable metals and minerals deep under
mountains and hills. Precious stones such as diamonds can be
found here, too. Useful metals such as iron, copper gold, and
silver are also taken from mines.

Uses of Plants Human beings depend on plants and animals for survival. In
this topic, we will discuss the uses of plants. Below are 10
important uses of plants:
1. Food from plants – Plants give us fruits, vegetables,
seeds, flowers
o From roots, we get potatoes, radish, beetroot,
carrot, etc.
o Seeds of some plants provide us with almonds,
groundnut, rice, wheat, etc.
o From leaves and stem, we get silverbeet, lettuce,
etc.
o Fruits like Mango, apple, grapes, etc.
2. Wood from plants – trees provide us with timber and
firewood
o Furniture like table, chair, window, door, etc. is
made of wood
3. Cotton plants – They provide us with cotton clothes like
pillow, towel, bed-sheets, etc.
4. Fibre plants provide us with ropes, jute bags, etc.
5. Plants give us medicines – Some plants are of
medicinal importance. Medicines made from such
plants are called medicinal plants
o Example : Tulsi, Neem Brahmi, etc.
8
Uses of Plants
6. Plants give us rubber, gum, paper – Some plants give us
gum. Rubber plant gives us rubber
o Eraser, tyre etc.
o Plants like eucalyptus and bamboo are used to
make paper
7. Oil from plants – Seeds of some plants are oily and
hence oil is extracted. This oil is used in cooking and
various other purposes.
o Sunflower oil, groundnut oil, mustard oil are used
for cooking
o Almond oil, coconut oil, etc are used to apply on
hair
8. Perfume from plants – Flowers of some plants are used
to make perfumes
o Apart from decorative purpose, flowers like
jasmine, rose are used to make perfumes
9. Manure from plants – Plant waste is used as manure for
the growth of other plants
10. Clean air to breathe – Plants and trees help in
controlling air pollution. During the process of
photosynthesis, they take in carbon dioxide and give
out oxygen. We inhale the oxygen from the air and
exhale carbon dioxide. Hence, the process continues
and the air is pollution-free for us to breathe.

Plants make our surroundings delightful. Flowers like
sampaguita, rosal, orchids, and others turn our home into
enchanting sight. The essential oils from these flowers are
important ingredients in making perfumes, colognes, lotions,
and other beauty products. Plants are also sources of herbal
medicines.

Water Resources
Oceans and seas give us a lot of marine resources. Fishes
like sardines, salmon, and tuna are caught in the deep parts of
the oceans and seas. Other products like pearls, seaweeds, and
corals are also taken from the oceans and seas.
Lakes and rivers are sources of different freshwater fishes
such as tawilis and tilapia. Rivers and lakes also provide us fresh
water for drinking and watering our plants. Dams are
constructed in large rivers so the water can be used for irrigating
rice fields.

15
Energy Resources
At present, we use a lot of energy for our everyday needs.
Important energy resources in our country include bodies of
water such as waterfalls, rivers, and hot springs. The energy of
the Maria Cristina Falls in Lanao del Norte is used to generate
electricity. The San Roque Dam in Pangasinan uses the waters
of the Agno River to generate energy. The Tiwi Power Plant in
Albay uses the steam from hot springs and volcanic vents in the
area to produce energy.

Presently, the major energy sources for the whole world
include mineral resources such as oil or petroleum, natural gas,
and coal. Oil or petroleum is taken deep under the ground
through oil drills. Many drills are found on land while some drill
the ground below the sea. Petroleum produced by oil drills are
used to make fuels such as gasoline and kerosene.

Conserving Our Natural Resources
Large and growing communities often use more resources.
But, natural resources are limited and it is important for people
to use them wisely. There are several ways by which we can use
our natural resources properly. We can recycle our materials by
reusing old things or finding new uses for old materials. Garbage
must also be segregated. This means separating the garbage
that will rot from those that will not rot and placing them in
different bags or containers.

18
We can also make good use of our land by planting a
vegetable garden in our backyards. We can save money by
growing our own vegetables for food.
19
We can help conserve water at home by observing simple
practices. Use a glass when brushing your teeth. Stop using the
shower and use a dipper when taking a bath. Use a pail of water
when watering the plants or washing cars.
20
21
We can join activities and programs which will help the
environment. Many groups conduct community clean-up
drives or tree -planting activities in our community or province
21
We can conserve energy by using our appliances properly.
Set a schedule for using the television and computer, and turn
them off when not in use. Turn off lights and unplug appliances
that are not being used in the house. If possible, walk or ride a
bike when going around your community.

Use the alphabetical guide below to help us have effective virtual classes.
A is for Avoid Acronyms
• Use your full name when you sign in to the virtual
classroom and when you submit/upload your works
online.
• Be clear with your words and spell things out correctly in
order to avoid confusion and misunderstandings with the
teacher and classmates. Avoid using acronyms such as
LOL (laugh out loud) and TTYL (talk to you later), not all
users are as familiar with these abbreviations
B is for Brevity
• While participating in virtual classroom discussions, keep
your answers short and on topic. You may also use the
chat box for your message or questions.
C is for Courtesy
• Be respectful. Even on online classes, use polite
expressions like “please” and “thank you.”
• Raise your “virtual hands” and wait to be recognized
when responding to a question or comment. You can
also use the keyboard shortcut Option+Y on a Mac or
Alt+Y on a PC to raise your hand.
• Mute your microphone during the lesson to avoid
disturbing the class with any background noise.
• Avoid using all uppercase letters; this is often considered
the equivalent of shouting.
• When you enter the classroom, make sure to enable
both audio and video.
29
D is for Ditching Distractions
•Before an online school session begins, eliminate
environmental distractions that may divert your attention
away from learning.
• Clear the room of playful pets or noisy siblings.
• Minimize background noise by turning off the TV and
radio.
• Turn off cell phones. (No multitasking during class!)
• Do not to let the microphone broadcast unless you are
asked to speak.
E is for Early
• Be prepared before the online class. Download any
necessary software and connect and test devices like
microphones or video cameras before the lesson begins.
Exit other applications on their computers prior to
launching the classroom software. Come to class early.
• When your class is over, leave the classroom by closing
the window.
F is for Focus and Friendships
• Focus on the classroom conversation and activities.
• Take notes on the information presented.
• Ask relevant questions to clarify the material covered or
assignments given.
• Do not join sideline chats with classmates when the
teacher is speaking.
30
G is for Good Intentions
• Read and interpret virtual classroom messages with the
assumption that teachers and classmates have good
intentions. What seems like a short or abrupt answer from
a classmate (or teacher) probably doesn’t mean anger—
the other person might just be busy.
• Reread your own messages for friendliness and respect
before sending.
In Submission of School Tasks
• All students are required to complete the school tasks
uploaded in the PSD LMS: e-desk. All works in the
asynchronous class/activities in the modules will be
monitored.
• All students are expected to submit their work, upload
or attach their work in the PSD LMS: e-desk. Select
carefully in the Assessment Evaluation Section where to
attach a particular work. If your file is too big, it needs to
be converted into the minimum size or you can provide a
link for your work.
• In case the server is down or too busy or overloaded, the
teacher will indicate another platform where you can
submit your work. Google classroom is the alternative
learning platform for PSD e-desk.
