 Unlocking of Difficulties
Before we proceed to our discussion
this morning, let us first define the
unfamiliar words that we’re going to
meet along our discussion. Please
read.
Larva – a very young form of
an insect that looks like a worm.
Pupa – an insect that is in the
stage of development between
larva and adult.
Cycle – a set of events that
happen again and again in the
same order.
Repellant – a substance that is
used to keep something out or
away.
Biocontrol – the reduction in
numbers or elimination of pest
organisms by interference with
their ecology.

D. Discussing New
Concepts and Practicing
New Skills #1

This time, let us have another group

activity entitled LET’S LEARN
TOGETHER THE LIFE CYCLE
OF Aedes aegypti. I will be
distributing an envelope that has a
handout, marker and a 3x3 paper
tarpaulin inside. Each group are
given 5 minutes to discuss within
their group the classification and the
life cycle of Aedes aegypti, the signs
and symptoms of dengue and the
ways on how to prevent dengue.
Write on the provided paper tarp the
important details that you have
discussed within your group.
Afterwards, your group
representative will discuss to the
class the groups’ output guided with
this rubric:
Yes, Ma’am!

Am I clear?

Kindly come forward, group leaders

and get your envelopes.

G1: Discuss the classification of
Aedes aegypti mosquito
It is under Kingdom Animalia,
Phylum Arthropoda, Class
Insecta, Order Diptera, Family
Culicidae, Genus Aedes and
Species Aedes aegypti.
Aedes aegypti is a mosquito that
can spread the dengue fever. The
mosquito is a small, dark
mosquito of approximately 4 to
7 millimeters with typical white
markings on the legs and a
marking of the form of lyre on
the thorax. Females are larger
than males.

Crizza, Ma’am!
G2: Discuss the Life Cycle of
Aedes aegypti Stages 1and 2
Stage 1: Female mosquitoes lay
eggs in clean and non-flowing
water. Examples are rainwater
that has collected in old unused
tires and those in flower vases.
The eggs are white but later turn
into shiny black. Usually this
stage may last for only minutes
to two days in warm climates
but can reach a week in cooler
temperatures. Eggs can survive
even for a year and are
immediately hatched once
submerged in water.
Stage 2: Mosquito eggs hatch

Thank you, Crizza! Group 2 also get
10 points. Let us give 5 claps to the
second group.

into larva (plural: larvae). It is
the second and the most easily
seen stage of mosquito
development. A larva always
lives in water and eats a lot of
algae and organic matter. It
breathes in air from above the
water surface through a tube
called siphon. When disturbed, it
dives down to the bottom, so it
is called a “wriggler”. It returns
to the surface to breathe. This
stage usually lasts about five to
seven days.

None, Ma’am!
Female mosquitoes lay eggs in
clean and non-flowing water.
Anabel, Ma’am!
G3: Discuss the Life Cycle of
Aedes aegypti Stages 3and 4
Stage 3: The third stage consists
of the comma-shaped pupa
which continue to stay at the
water surface. The pupa breathes
through two small tubes called
“trumpets”. It dives downwards
quickly when disturbed. It stops
eating and grows shorter. Then,
it encases itself with the pupal
case, it continues to change and
grow. This stage takes only
about two to three days. If the
water dries up before the next
stage, the organism dies.
Stage 4: The adult mosquito stay
in cool areas on land after
hatching. It flies as far as one
hundred meters to mate and look
for food. The male mosquitoes
feed on flower nectar and are
usually found near breeding
sites. It is the female mosquito
that bites animals and people to
feed itself with blood. It
continues the cycle by laying
eggs.

G4: Discuss the Signs and

Symptoms of Dengue Fever
representative.
Dengue fever is a mosquito-
borne disease caused by a virus.
Symptoms, which usually begin
four to six days after infection
and last up to 10 days, may
include:
 Sudden, high fever 40̊C
 Severe headaches
 Pain behind the eyes
 Severe joint and muscle
pain
 Fatigue
 Nausea
 Vomiting
 Skin rash, which appears
two to five days after the
onset of fever
 Bleeding (such as nose
bleeding, bleeding gums,
or easy bruising)

Thank you, Naivy! The fourth group

get a 10 points also.

Now, let us have the last group

G5: Discuss the Ways on How
to Prevent Dengue Fever
The best way to prevent the
disease is to prevent bites by
infected mosquitoes. To protect
 yourself:
 Use mosquito repellents,
even indoors.
 When outdoors, wear
long-sleeved shirts and
long pants tucked into
socks.
 Make sure window and
door screens are secure
and free of holes. If
sleeping areas are not
screened, use mosquito
nets.
 Get rid of places where
mosquitoes can breed
such as old tires, can or
flower pots that collect

 If you have symptoms of
dengue, speak to a
doctor.
