We will still use the hierarchical

taxonomic system in a more
complicated way throughout our
lesson.

your job is to find your
groupmates while you are all
blindfolded. For you to be able to
find your groupmates, you have to
produce the sound of the animal
based on the cut paper you had
pick. We will do this activity for 5
minutes.

find our groupmates.

Do you think that knowing first the

sound you need to produce or
mimic is the best way to identify
your groupmates? Why?

Yes, because it is only our way to find them

because during the activity we have no sense of
sight.

Statement of the Objectives:

Today, we will be discussing on

how to classify and give name to
the organisms that can be found in
our environment.

D. Presenting example or Activity: “STOP-LOOK-OBSERVE”

instances of the lesson

With your group, discuss how each

of these organisms is called in your
community. Accept any name
which your groupmates will give
for an organism. If you know other
names by which organism is called
in another place, include them.
Write these on manila paper.

Have you encounter Carolus
Linnaeus?
Students provides assumptions.

Who is he and what is his

contribution in classifying and

scientific name is comprised of a

What are these terms?

Both of these terms are italicized

and the genus name is also Homo sapiens, the genus name is Homo and the

together to create a term or name
for an organism?
