‘’Sir, we have a puppy that we take care of with
my parents’’

‘’Alright draw your pet on a notebook and for

those who don’t have a pet you can draw any
animal that you want to take care of as a pet, and
while you are doing the task I will ask in the class (Students start to draw)
what are the needs that they give to their pets to
keep them healthy and alive’’

‘’Can anyone give the basic needs of your pet to ‘’We give our dog a food, water and shelter to
keep them healthy and alive? Yes____ ’’ keep him healthy’’

‘’There is another one you forgot that is also a ‘’Air sir’’

need of both humans and plants can you identify it
____?’’
 ‘’Correct your pets needs air, food, water and
shelter like us humans and all of the living things

drawings now pass your notebook in the front’’

IV. Explore

(The teacher will show a picture of guide questions on the

screen)

- What do plants and humans need from each other

to survive?

A. The plants needed humans because humans exhale

carbon dioxide that is required for the plants to
photosynthesize and humans needed plants
because plants respire oxygen which all animals,
including humans, need to survive.

B. plants make the food that humans eat and oxygen

to breathe and other animals get their food and
habitat from plants too.

(The students will get heir notebook and write

tackle today?’’ primary needs of animals to live’’

‘’thank you_____ that is a close answer but our

topic for today is the basic needs of humans,
plants, and animals.

‘’Every living things on earth need a basic needs (Students raise their hands)
to survive, like plants, animals and humans can
anyone in the class name it again?

‘’Can I call_____ what are the basic needs of ‘’Sir like you said earlier living things need air
human, animal and plants? food, water and shelter’’

‘’Very good the four basic needs of humans,

animal and plants are food water air and shelter’’

‘’Living things breathes the same air, the human

and animal need oxygen while plants needed
carbon dioxide and they also the air that they
needed from their environment.’’

(student stands up and read)

‘’____ can you please read what is on the ‘’living things do not eat the same food but they
screen?’’ get their food from one source it’s from the
environment’’

‘’Since you’re already standing can I ask you ‘’We need to eat food with vitamins and other
what food human needed to keep our body healthy nutritious foods to be healthy.
and strong?’’

‘’Very good____ you can now sit down, we need

nutritious food especially carbohydrates and
protein because this foods can give us energy to
spend our day active.’’

‘’living thing also drink the same water but they

get it with different sources for example some
animals drink through lake and river and plants
absorbs water from the soil with their roots and
leaf, humans use ground water and purify it’’
‘’_____can I ask you why animals can only drink ’’Sir they can only drink in lake and rivers
water through lake and river and not in ocean?’’ because the seawater contains salt and it doesn’t
taste good’’

‘’correct but it’s not just because it doesn’t taste

good, another reason is because of salt that is in
the water instead of getting hydrated we’ll get
dehydrated and ingesting too much salt can badly
affect our health’’

‘’with shelter, all living things do not live in the

same habitat because other living things can only
live on hot weather and other can only live on
cold weather.’’

to live?’’ the energy and nutrients we needed to function
everyday and we will get sick

‘’Correct thank you, and ______why do you think
we needed air and shelter to live’’
‘’Sir of course we need air because without it we
can’t breath and we will die, we also needed
shelter for the safety that will protect us with
different weathers and other living things live on
hot cold temperature and underwater’’

‘’Very good class, did everybody notice that most (All of the class answer)
of our basic needs are connected with our ‘’Yes’’
environment?

‘’can anyone tell me how can we take care of our ‘’Teacher to take care of our environment we
environment? Yes ______’’ should throw our trash anywhere because it can
cause floods’’
‘’Correct_____ throwing trash anywhere can
affect our environment badly and there is also a
chance that it will ingest by the animals’’

‘’there are more ways to take care of our

environment like doing the 3r’s reusing and
recycling resources and products is often called
the 3Rs. Reducing means choosing to use things
with care to reduce the amount of waste
generated.’’
