INSTRUCTIONAL PROCEDURES

PERIOD 1: Waste disposal

PRESENTATION

TEACHER’S ACTIVITY

PUPIL’S ACTIVITY

STEP 1

INTRODUCTION

The teacher revises the previous lesson on waste

Pupils pay attention

STEP 2

EXPLANATION

The teacher discusses the meaning and types of waste disposal

Waste disposal is the collection, processing, and recycling or deposition of the waste materials of human society.

 

Types of  waste

1. Refuse refers to any disposable materials, which includes both recyclable and non-Recyclable Materials.

Examples of refuse: empty cans, broken bottles, pieces of wood, plastic containers, papers, food containers, polythene bags, old clothes (rags), food items.

 

2. Sewage is waste matter such as faeces or dirty water from homes and factories, which flows away through sewers.

Examples include greywater (from sinks, bathtubs, showers, dishwashers, and clothes washers) and blackwater (the water used to flush toilets, combined with the human waste that it flushes away)

 

Pupils pay attention and participates

STEP 3

DEMONSTRATION

She further explains the types of waste disposal

Types of waste disposal

1. Recycling

Recycling is the process of separating waste into constituent materials and then reusing those materials. For example, a used plastic bottle can be remade into a new plastic bottle, thereby reducing the need for new materials, easing our consumption of raw materials and lowering the amount of waste that either goes to landfill. 

 

2. Composting

It is allowing organic waste to be reused to fertilise plants and crops.

 

3. Incineration

incineration heats waste to transform it into base components, assorted gases and, more often than not, ash.

 

4. Sanitary Landfill

It involves dumping waste into a predetermined location designed for waste disposal. Landfills contain a protective layer which prevents any chemicals or contaminants from seeping into groundwater.

NOTE TAKING

The teacher writes a short note on the board

The pupils copy the note in their books
