Compare the stages in the life cycle of organisms
Appreciate the importance of organisms
A. Content Standards The learners demonstrate understanding of
different organisms go through life cycle which can
be affected by their environment.

INTRODUCTION WHAT I NEED TO KNOW?
Look at the pictures? What are they?

How about these animals? What are their common

characteristics?

How about the pictures below? In what type of organisms

do they belong?
 WHAT ‘S NEW?

Which of the insects that are being mentioned are useful?

How these insects help plants and other animals?
How about the insects that are harmful? How do they
become harmful?

How do animals that lay eggs help other organisms?

Are people important? How do they become important?

DEVELOPMENT
WHAT I KNOW?

What do these insects follow to become a fully grown

organisms?

Metamorphosis
It is a biological process by which an animal
physically develops after birth or hatching. It is part of the
life cycle of the most insects.

Life cycle – is a period involving one generation of an

organism
Two Types of Metamorphosis
- Complete Metamorphosis
- Gradual/Incomplete Metamorphosis
4 stages in complete metamorphosis
1. Egg - a female insect lays egg.
2. Larvae – hatch from egg but do not look like adult insects.
The larvae of butterflies are caterpillars. Sometimes, these
stages of growth in larvae are called “instars.”

3. Pupa – larvae make cocoon around themselves, and

become busy changing into their adult forms. They do not
eat during this time. This can take few days, or in some
cases few months.

4. Adult – after a period of time, larvae is nothing like it was

and exits the cocoon or larval body as an adult.

What are the other insects that undergo complete

metamorphosis?

Stages of Gradual Metamorphosis

1. Egg – a female insect lays eggs.

2. Nymph – the eggs hatch into nymphs. It looks like small

adults but usually don’t have wings.
3. Adults – Once the nymph has grown to an adult size
they stop molting. Adults primary interest is mating

Aside from the grasshopper, what are the other examples of

insects that undergo gradual metamorphosis?

Animals that Lay Eggs

Some animals that lay eggs are birds, swan, duck,
penguin, owl, ostrich, fish, snake, turtle, lizard, frog, chicken,
butterfly and wasp.

What are the other animals that lay eggs?

What are the parts of the eggs?

Eggs have three basic parts:

1. Shell- it isolates the internal parts from the environment
and somehow protects the eggs from external forces
2. Albumin- helps to maintain the egg yolk in its position and
prevent it to scramble
3. Yolk – serves as the food of the developing bird.

What are the different stages on the life cycle of a chicken?

How about the turtle?
How many stages the life cycle of a frog have? What are its’
different stages?
 Human Life Cycle

1. Infancy – it is categorized as lasting from birth through the

first year of life. The infant is completely dependent upon its
parents or caretakers for survival.
2. Childhood – takes place between ages 1 to 10. the first 2
years, the child is called a toddler. During this time, the
child learns how to walk, talk and be more self-sufficient. The
child is susceptible during this time to learn habits and
behaviors.
3. Adolescence – takes place between ages 12 and 18 and
is a critical turning point because it is when puberty takes
place. Boys’ voices change and girls get their periods. As
such, they begin to separate more from the parents and
become more independent.
4. Adulthood – It is when human beings are fully grown and
must provide entirely for themselves. This is also significant
time that adults can give birth.
5. Old Age - the final stage of the normal life span.

WHAT ‘S IN?
Learning Task 1:
Directions: Analyze the pictures. Arrange them according to
the correct sequence of development by putting number in
the box. Answer the guide questions in your notebook.

2. Grasshopper

Learning Task 3

Directions: Prepare and look for these materials if available

in your place. If these are not available, make us use of the
drawing below.
Guide Questions:
1. Based from your observation, What parts of the egg are
involved in the development of a chick?
___________________________________

2. What is the function of the albumen in the egg?

Learning Task 4
Directions: Analyze the pictures on the next slide. Write the
number that corresponds to the life stages of a frog. Use
number 1 for the first stage and so on. Write your answer in
your notebook.
ENGAGEMENT WHAT’S MORE?

Learning Task 5:
Directions: Make a survey of insects in your house. You can
also go to your yard to search for more insects. Do this activity
following the table below.

WHAT’ I CAN DO?

Learning Task 6:
Directions: Using books and other resources, identify the
animals in the given pictures. Describe each picture to show
the differences in their stages of development.
