Lesson Proper
Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity
ELICIT Class before we start the discussion, why don’t we first have
a review of what you remembered about biology on your
lessons from previous year level.
Who can give me an idea or an overview about biology? (…….)
Very good.
How about the others? (…….)
(………..). Yes, yes very good also.
Our topic this 2nd quarter will be about life science. And our
discussion will be a follow up or a much more in-depth
discussion of some of the topics under the biology subject.
Today’s discussion will be about the theories surrounding
life and the characteristics of living things. At the end of
these discussion, you will be able to explain those concepts
and describe classic experiments as well as point out the
distinct qualities a living material possesses.
ENGAGE Before I present to you the concepts how about we first have (………)
a debate regarding the two known beliefs surrounding the
Beginning of Life. What are these two famous concepts
about the beginning of life on earth?
Yes that is one concept. How about the other one? Who has (….……)
an idea?
Yes, aside from the theory of Divine Creation which was
hailed from the Christian Belief System we also have the
theory of Paspermia which proposes that life on Earth came
from the living materials that arose from the
asteroids/comets that had been on impact with our planet
millions and millions years ago.
(Ask the class using guide question about Divine Creation)
1. What have you noticed from the belief? (…….…)
2. What hasn’t been mentioned (……….)
3. With your previous learnings from biology, critic the two (……….)
concepts of life as based from the views of the Christian?
(Ask the class using guide question for Paspermia)
1. What have you noticed? Was there an evidence? (……….)
2. What are the similarities and differences of the two (……….)
mentioned concepts?
3. But what do you think is the nearest possible explanation (……….)
for the beginning of life?
(Explain the lack of evidence or proof for the two beliefs
and that nobody really knows what happened 4 billion years
ago.)
EXPLORE (Encourage learners to propose/think/suggest (……….)

theories/possible ideas about the origin of life)
(Introduce the theory of spontaneous generation)
Spontaneous Generation or Abiogenesis- life would appear
from non-living materials
(Introduce Bogenesis)
Biogenesis- i.e Viruses- New disease
New diseases generated from bacteria/viruses
EXPLAIN (Present the different experiments conducted to prove those

contradicting beliefs on how life came about)
1. Redi’s Experiment
2. Needham’s Exeperiment
3. Spazallani’s Experiment
4. Pasteur’s Experiment
ELABORATE (Ask “what is the most common characteristic of living (……….)

things as compared to non-living things?”)
Yes very good. It is the presence of life as well as the
different biological processes that enables a living thing to
function and survive.
(Ask the students for ideas about these processes)
(Point out the variation of these processes depending on the

physical attribute of a living thing)
(Discuss the various processes present)
a. Gathering and using energy
b. Adopting and evolving
c. Reproducing and continuing life
d. Organization of life
EVALUATE 1-2. Common beliefs about origin of life?
3-5. Compare and differentiate the two beliefs
6-9. Four experiments performed
10-15. Explain the four characteristics shared by living
things
