IV. PROCEDURE

TEACHER’S ACTIVITY STUDENT’S ACTIVITY

A. PREPARATORY
1. Routines
a. Prayer
Before we start , let’s bow our head for the
opening prayer.
Patricia, please lead the prayer. Patricia: Okay ma'am.
In the name of the Father, of the son, of
the holy spirit, amen.

Thank you lord for this day and forgive us

in our sins. Lord please give us wide
understanding and guide us in our study.
Amen.

In the name of the Father, of the son, of

the holy spirit, amen.

Good morning Grade 8 students! Good morning ma’am!

b. Checking of attendance
By the way class, is there anyone absent None ma’am.
today?
That’s great! Give yourselves a virtual very good (students will do the virtual very good
clap. clap)

c. Reminders
Before we proceed to our lesson for today, I
have to remind you of our classroom rules.
First, if you want to participate or add
something related to our lesson you may turn
on your microphone. Next, If someone is
talking keep your microphone off, otherwise
respect and listen. If ever you don’t want to
listen, you are free to leave in our google meet.
So please take control of yourselves.
Am I understood? Yes Ma’am.
I hope so.
 d. Motivation
Okay class I have here a picture. What can
you say about this picture?

Anyone From the class? Ma'am.

Yes, Regie A rainbow ma’am.
Right! Now can you describe the rainbow? Ma’am the rainbow has seven different
Correct, the rainbow has different colors. Do colors.
you think a rainbow could still exist without these
different colors? No, Ma’am.
Very Good! Because this seven different
colors makes the rainbow to exist. Just like us, we
have differences, and these differences exist in the
biosphere. Thus our topic in this morning is all
about biodiversity. But before that let us have a
review about our topic yesterday.

2. Reviewing Previous Lesson or Presenting

the New Lesson
Yesterday we discussed about the living
things and non-living things. Again, anyone Ma'am.
who can define living things and non-living
things? Ma’am Living things refers to any
organisms that have life. While Non-
Yes Marina, living things refers to any form or object
without life.

Okay, very good Marina.

I think we are all clear in our yesterday’s

topic , so let’s proceed to our new topic.

3. Establishing a Purpose for the Lesson

Students should analyze the different
Organisms in biodiversity.
Biodiversity comes from two words “Bio”
means life and “diversity” means variety.
Biodiversity is the variety of all living things,
like for example different plants, animals,
and even microorganisms because they
contain a genetic information and in the
ecosystem they form.
Okay class give me one example of
organisms that you have known that is
Ma’am.
belong in biodiversity.
Rabbit Ma’am.
Yes, Lhee.
(Follow up question.)
Lhee do you have idea if In what concept of I have no idea ma’am.
Biodiversity they are belong?

Okay, we will discuss it today.

Our biodiversity is usually explored at three

levels, the Genetic diversity, the Species
diversity and the Ecosystem diversity. This
three levels work together to create the
complexity of life on Earth.
Okay class let’s talk about first the Genetic
diversity. Genetic diversity refers to the
range of different inherited traits within a
species. For example, different breed of
dogs and cats. While the Species diversity is
the number of different species that are
represented in a given community. An
example of Species diversity are woodland
forest comprising of four to five different
species of trees. And last the Ecosystem
diversity deals with the variations in
ecosystems within a geographical location
and its overall impact in human existence
and the environment. Best examples of
ecosystem biodiversity are deserts, forest,
grassland and etc.
 Okay class let’s back again to my question, Ma’am
as Lhee said earlier, rabbit was belong to
Biodiversity. So in what concept or level of Ma’am Rabbits are belong in Genetic
biodiversity they are belong? diversity.

Ma’am Because rabbits are like dogs and

Yes Rochelle
cats, they have different breeds.
How do you say so?

Very good.

4. Presenting of examples or instances of the

Lesson

Okay class I have here 3 pictures and define

it , if what level of biodiversity are this.

Ma'am

Species diversity ma’am.

Ma’am
Anyone? Genetic diversity ma'am
Yes Lhee.
Okay very good Lhee.

Next, what diversity is this?

Yes Regie,
Alright, very good
 How about this one?

Ma'am
Ecosystem diversity ma'am

All Students are listening carefully.

Anyone from the class?
Yes Marina
Okay very good class, I think we are all
clear regarding this topic class. So let’s
proceed to our next topic which is the
classification of different organisms.

5. Discussing new concepts and practicing

new skills #1
So I have Prepared an image of hierarchical
taxonomic system, I will discussed the
classification of hierarchical taxonomic
system for us to know in what stages are
the different living organisms belong.

So Class as you can see here in the

presentation, The species (Homo Sapiens)
are member of the Genus homo with a
high forehead and thin skull bones. By
which us humans are the best example of
this species. Genus (Homo) are hominids
with upright posture and large brains.
Family (Homonids) are primates with
relatively flat faces and three-dimensional
vision. Order (Primates) are mammals with
collar bones and grasping fingers. Class
(mammals) are chordates with fur or hair
and milk glands. Phylum (chordates) are
Animals with a backbone. And lastly but
not the least, Kingdom (animals) are
 organisms able to move on their own.

B. DEVELOPMENTAL ACTIVITIES
TEACHER’S ACTIVITY STUDENT’S ACTIVITY
6. Discussing new concepts and practicing
new skills #2

Okay class, for our activity today, choose

one of the 8 levels in Taxonomic Hierarchy
System and give me an example.

Before answering just say first the level and

then your example.
Ma’am
Anyone from the class?
Genus(homo)- homo habilis ma’am.
Yes Rochelle,
Very good rochelle,
Ma’am
Another. Family(Hominid)- Gorilla ma’am.
Yes Patricia

Very good Patricia.

Another example class except in the given

examples of your classmate.
Ma’am
Yes, Regie Class(mammalia)- Kangaroo ma'am

Okay very good Regie.

Last two examples, anyone from the Ma’am

group? Order(primates)- lemurs ma'am
Yes Lhee.
Very good Lhee

Ma’am.
Class give me last one example. Phylum(chordata)- fishes ma’am.
Yes Marina,
Very good Marina
Very good class
 I’m So glad that you are listening to our
discussion. Now for better understanding
about biodiversity and the species here is a
guide video for you to watch.

7. Developing Mastery (Leads to Formative

and Assessment 3)
Just a friendly reminder, while you are
watching the video take down notes all the
important information that you have
noticed and observed. After that, I have
some questions to you.
(The video ended)

Okay class, Ma'am

1. In the video we played recently, what
are the threats in the biodiversity? Anyone Ma’am, the threats in the biodiversity
from the group? are destruction of natural ecosystem,
Yes, Pat overexploitation, spread of non-native or
invasive species, and climate change
ma’am.
Very good! Next,

Ma’am
2. Give me some species that you have
seen in the video. Anyone who wants to Deer, fishes, bird, bee, bacteria, plants,
answer. trees and chicken ma’am.
Yes Marina

Very good. Ma'am

Ma’am different species like for example
3. What are the roles of species in different the bees, they can be a pollinator, the
ecosystem they occur? Anyone? Yes Lhee chicken that serves as our food to eat,
trees that can provide our shelter and
different herbal plants that can be source
of medicine.

Okay very good class, I hope this video

helps us to understand the situation of the
present biodiversity.
8. Finding Practical Applications of Concepts
and Skills in daily Living

Okay class for another recorded activity, Student 1: Plant more trees ma’am
please think a concrete solution on how to Student 2: Don’t waste excess resources
protect biodiversity. You may give your Student 3: Don’t hunt endangered
answer in chat box or you may turn on species ma’am
your mic if you wish. Student 4: Use renewable energy, so it
can lessen the emission of greenhouse
gases that can lead to climate change.
Student 5: Join in an organization that
focuses on environment.

Very good participants.

9.
C. ANALYSIS
10. Making Generalizations and Abstraction
about the Lesson

So class as our discussion is deeper, before

we end our discussion, what do you think is
the connection of biodiversity in humans? Ma'am

Yes Regie
Biodiversity is important to humans,
plants and animals. Biodiversity gives us
humans an Ecological life support—
which is provides functioning ecosystems
that supply oxygen, clean air and water,
pollination of plants, pest control,
wastewater and many ecosystem
Very good Regie services.

Okay class always keep in mind that

Biodiversity boosts our ecosystem
productivity where each species, no matter
 how small, all have an important role to
play. For example, A larger number of plant
species means a greater variety of crops.
Greater species diversity ensures natural
sustainability for all life forms.

11. Evaluating Learning

Okay class for our last recitation for today, Student 1: Ma’am giant panda in
give me examples of endangered, extinct endangered species, in extinct species
and endemic species. ma’am passenger pigeon, and Sangai
Deer for endemic species found in Loktak
Lake.

Student 2: Ma’am tiger in endangered

species, in extinct species ma’am woolly
mammoth, and Purple Frog for endemic
species found in Western Ghats.

Student 3: Ma’am blue whale in

endangered species, in extinct species
ma’am baiji, and Lion-Tailed Macaque for
endemic species found in Western Ghats.

Student 4: Ma’am Elephant in

ma’am Great auk, and Kashmir stag for
endemic species found in Kashmir valley.

Student 5: Ma’am Gorilla in endangered

species, in extinct species ma’am steller’s
Sea cow and Asiatic lion for endemic
species found in Gir Forest National Park
Very good class, I like your performance. of Gujarat.
I’m glad that you have learned something
in our topic.

12. Additional Activities for Application and

Remediation

Okay class for your assignment, choose one

 species in the biodiversity, it can be plant,
trees or animals, and then give the
characteristics, roles and location of your
preferred species. Tomorrow we will
Yes ma'am
discuss your assignment.
Is it clear?

Alright, this is the end of our discussion but

before that let’s have a closing prayer. Okay ma'am

Marina please lead the prayer.

Marina: In the name of the Father, of the
son, of the holy spirit, amen.

Lord thank you for this day, because we

have learn a lot and enjoy our discussion.
Lord please always guide us and our
family. amen.
