4.Presentation of learning Objectives

- Here are the objectives of our lesson. - Learning Objectives:

Please read the objectives Reigo. At the end of the lesson, students
should be able to:
1. define eutrophication
2. identify the causes and effects of
eutrophication; and
3. cite at least two (2) ways by which
eutrophication can be prevented.

B. During the Lesson

Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity
1.Activity

- I have here a picture class. Tell me what can - Dead fish in the water, ma’am.
you observe about this picture.

- The water is dirty and there is a

lot of algae.

- Algae grow into unsightly scum

on the water surface.

2.Analysis

- Great job! We will now proceed to our lesson

proper.

1.Define Eutrophication
- What comes to your mind when you hear the - Eutrophication is the process
word Eutrophication? through which a body of water
gets too loaded with nutrients,
resulting in extensive growth of
simple plant life.
- Very good, however, human activities have
accelerated the rate and extent of
eutrophication through both point-source
discharges and non-point loadings of limiting
nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorus,
into aquatic ecosystems.
- Eutrophication is defined by
- Some more idea? excessive plant and algal
development as a result of
increased availability of one or
more limiting growth factors
required for photosynthesis, such
as sunlight, carbon dioxide, and
nitrogen fertilizers.
- Great! In other words, Eutrophication is the
inorganic nutrient enrichment of natural
waters, which results in an increase in the
production of algae and macrophytes.

Now, let us proceed to the causes and effects of

Eutrophication.

2. identify the causes and effects of eutrophication

- What do you think are the causes and effects

of Eutrophication?
- Eutrophication occurs when the
- Any idea? Yes, Devalle? water body becomes overly
enriched with nutrients. The main
environmental effects of
eutrophication are increase of
suspended particles owing to
extensive macroalgal blooms,
decrease of water clarity, and
increase in the rate of
precipitation that led to the
destruction of benthic habitat by
shading of submerged vegetation.

- Exactly, it may lead to depletion of dissolved

oxygen, decreased biodiversity, water
intoxication and invasion of new species.

- How about the others? - Eutrophication is predominantly

caused by human actions due to
their dependence on using nitrate
and phosphate fertilizers.

- Eutrophication does occur

- Yes, Santiago are you raising your hand? naturally over many centuries, it
may be accelerated by certain
human activities. Some examples
of human activities that cause
eutrophication include: The use of
agricultural fertilizers, direct
sewage discharge, Aquaculture.

- Yes, ma’am!

- None, ma’am!
- Very good! Is that clear?

- Do you have any question?

3.cite at least two (2) ways by which eutrophication

can be prevented

- Give me at least two ways by which - The eutrophication can be

phosphorus from runoff water.

- Phosphorus reduction in

- Very well, said!Eutrophication occurs as a
result of nitrate and phosphate use. To
minimize the presence of phosphate and - Yes, ma’am!
nitrate in the water bodies, people should
substitute nitrate and phosphate fertilizers
with compost manure. - None ma’am!

- Did you understand, class?

- Any other questions?

3.Abstraction

- I have here a sample picture of the process of

eutrophication.

- Excess nutrients - farmers apply

- Eutrophication occurs in four simple steps. fertilizer to the soil. Then, excess

into the water.
- Algae bloom-the fertilizer rich in
nitrate and phosphate spark the
overgrowth of algae in water
bodies.
- Oxygen depletion- When algae
forms, it blocks sunlight from
entering water and uses up
oxygen. Eventually, water
becomes oxygen-depleted.
- Dead zones- it occurs water that
is completely depleted of oxygen
becomes a dead zone and can no
longer support life.

- All right! Eutrophication describes the

process of increased plant growth in an area
due to excess nutrients. This can cause
problems for both the local ecosystem and
humans, depending on where it occurs.

- Tell me what else might happen if this - (Students raise their hands)

- It might be dangerous to our

- Yes, very good! It may be dangerous to our - The clean water supply becomes
health. What else? a serious threat to people.

- Ma’am, it effects our economy, it

- Yes ma’am.

- Exactly! It can affect especially to our

source of income, right?

- So class, do you think eutrophication is good

or bad to our environment?

- Okay. Because it causes many problems to

affected areas like what you have said earlier. - None ma’am.

- Any question class?

- Yes ma’am.
4. Application
- For this lesson class, let’s have an activity.
Last time I told you to bring coloring
materials. Do you have coloring materials
with you?

- Yes ma’am.

- Yes ma’am.

- - Great! So, all you have to do with this

activity paper is color and fill in the
appropriate statement in the box. I'll give you
ten minutes to do your task. Is that clear?

- Are you done?

- Okay, let’s check your work. Exchange your

work with your seatmates.
- Very good class, I think most of you got the
highest score. Please pass your activity paper
as I record your score.

C. After the Lesson

Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity
1.Generalization

- Do you have any question?

If none, then let us summarize what
you have learned.

- What is Eutrophication? - Eutrophication is the result of human

activities that contribute excess
amount of nitrogen and phosphorus
into water.

- Very good! Also, agricultural

fertilizers are one of the main human
cause of eutrophication. Because
fertilizers used in farming to make soil
more fertile contain nitrogen and
phosphorus.
- The primary cause of eutrophication is
- How about the cause and effect of the entry of large amount of easily
eutrophication? Yes, Vasquez? available nutrient to water resources
which increases the fertility and
excessive growth of various plant and
algae.

- Yes! Exactly.

- Can you cite at least 3 ways to prevent - Phosphorus reduction in detergents.

eutrophication?
- Preventing excess nutrients from
reaching water bodies.

- Proper fertilization planning and the

use of slow release fertilizers.
- Definitely!
