This experimental study ascertained the benefits of Earthan Strategic Intervention Material (ESIM) to Grade 7 learners and science teachers of Tamalagon Integrated School to bridge the gap of difficulty in grasping global warming content in the science lesson for freshmen learners. The researcher discovered that learners struggled on this considering its importance in promoting environmental literacy and ecological awareness. Earthan Strategic Intervention Material (ESIM) is anchored on the nationally published comic book ERTHAN, The Guardians of Nature written by Arnel G. Caranto of LIFE (Lifelong Initiatives in the Formation of Ecosystems) Inc. vis-à-vis the learning competencies taken from DepEd Curriculum Guide (2016). The two randomly selected classes our of four heterogenous classes sections were the respondents of this study. One class was exposed to conventional teaching and the other class was employed with Earthan Strategic Intervention Material (ESIM). A twenty item ready-made questionnaire taken from DepEd Learners Module in Science 7 (2013) was utilized before and after the intervention. Results showed that significant improvement in scores of the learners was recorded using Earthan Strategic Intervention Material (ESIM) than conventional teaching. It is concluded that the concepts of global warming was understood clearly if learners were taught with strategic intervention material with visually entertaining concepts, infused with cooperative teaching pedagogies and motivated with experiential learning strategies.
