B. DEVELOPMENTAL ACTIVITIES
1. Review
Let us have a game. It’s called “Name An
Animal”. I will group you into four groups.
Choose your leader.
You have to name one animal that undergoes
complete metamorphosis. A group is
eliminated when they give an animal that is
already mentioned by a group. The last group (The pupils will do the activity.)
standing wins.
 A. ENGAGE
(Show the pupils a collage of animals).

What animals are familiar to you in this There is a duck, chicken and a
scenery? penguin.

Correct.

Do these animals have something in common? Yes, sir.

What do they have in common? They lay eggs.

Very Good.

B. EXPLORE
Activity:” What’s inside a chicken Egg?

Let’s have a group activity. I will group you into

3 groups.

You will observe 3 different eggs. As you

observe the eggs, answer the questions in your
observation sheets.

The eggs to be observed:

1. raw egg
2. hard-boiled egg (The pupils will do the activity.)
3. balut
OBSERVATION SHEET

What I noticed in My Observation

a/an

Raw egg

Hard-boiled egg

Balut

C. EXPLAIN
Let us examine what you’ve observed in
your activity.
What features have you observed with
The raw egg has a clear and
the raw egg?
yellow part.
 What is the color of the egg white and The egg white has a clear color
yolk? while the yolk has a yellow color.

What do you call the outer covering of It is a shell.

the hard- boiled egg?
Observe the hardboiled egg. Is it in
liquid or in solid form? The egg is solid.

Where is the yolk located? The egg yolk is in the center.

What features have you observed with The hard-boiled egg has a shell,
the hardboiled egg? it has a thick egg white and the
yolk is in the center.

What features have you observed with It has a shell. It has an egg white.
the balut?

Great. Are there any other It has a small piece of an egg yolk and
observations? a small duck inside.

Excellent.The balut is also similar to the

egg of a chicken.

Using your observation, we can

enumerate the stages of development of
a chicken. What do you think is the first
stage of the life of a chicken?
It begins as an egg.
Correct.

What happens after that?

It forms a small chicken or duck

What happens next? inside.

The chick is hatched from the

What do you think is the last stage? egg.

Very Good! The chick becomes big.

D. ELABORATE
From your observations, you have
observed an egg and some of its parts.
Some of you noticed that the balut has a
small duck inside.

The activity showed you the parts of an

egg and how an egg develops.

The egg has three parts: the yolk, the

egg white and the shell. The life of a
chicken begins from the yolk.

Let me now explain briefly the stages of

development of a chicken egg.

It begins with an adult chicken laying the

egg. Next, the egg forms an embryo.
 The embryo develops and it hatches as
a chick. The chick develops as time
went by and becomes an adult chicken.
Then, the cycle begins again.

Did you understand class? Yes Sir!
