LEARNING COMPETENCIES
C. BIODIVERSITY AND EVOLUTION
relate species extinction to the failure of populations of organisms to adapt to abrupt changes in the
environment;(S9LT-Ie-f-6)
I. OBJECTIVES
At the end of the lesson, the students are expected to:
1. Determine the pattern of population distribution using the mathematical formula. (U)
2. Compare the distribution patterns of the different populations. (U)
III. PROCEDURE
A. ENGAGEMENT
1. FRAYERS MODEL
-Teacher will ask the students to illustrate their ideas about population, by citing definition, examples,
importance and as well as occupation related to population.
Definition Example
POPULATIO
N
Importance Occupation
Population pertains to the number of organisms of the same species living in a certain place.
B. EXPLORE
C. INVESTIGATORY ACTIVITY: ACTIVITY 1
Teacher will let the students to go to their groups, ask to perform Activity 2: Measuring Population
Density, page 67-68, Science 9 Learners Manual
D. EXPLAIN
E. POST ACTIVITY DISCUSSION and INTERACTIVE DISCUSSION
After performing the activity, together with the students will check the activity and answers to the guide
questions. Then teacher will ask students from each group to explain about pattern of population
distribution using mathematical formula. Teacher will also let students compare the distribution pattern
of the different population.
Populations can be of the same size, but they may have different densities. When we consider the number
of individuals per unit area, we are referring to the density of the population. Differences in population
density in any community may be attributed to many factors. Population sizes change when new members
move into the ecosystem. They decrease when members move out of an ecosystem. The birth rate and
death rates can also affect a population’s size. Anything that limits the size of a population like certain
environmental conditions are called limiting factors. Limiting factors keep a population from increasing in
size and help balance an ecosystem. Examples of limiting factors are the availability of food, water, and living
conditions. Light, temperature and soil nutrients are also limiting factors because they help determine the
types of organisms that can live in an ecosystem. The maximum population size an environment can support
is called its carrying capacity. If the population size rises above the carrying capacity, organisms die because
they cannot meet all their needs.
D. ELABORATE
1. PICTURE ANALYSIS
-Each group will be given a picture to analyze. After which ask students to determine the population or
distribution patterns of each species.
F. EVALUATE
