This is a learning resource designed for Grade 7 Science learners. It begins by reviewing coordinate systems and the location of the Philippines relative to landmasses and bodies of water. Subsequent activities delve into the distribution of metallic mineral deposits in the Philippines, correlating these with geological features like trenches, faults, and volcanoes. Students analyze maps, conduct research, and learn about coal formation. The activities integrate concepts of financial education and responsible resource use, culminating in a project that involves students researching careers related to environmental conservation and presenting a "Make-a-Difference Day" plan to their principal.
