Where did that information came from? The bible.
So according to the bible how was our God took 7 days to
 world and all the living organisms create everything. On
created? the 1st day, God created
the night and the day,
on the 2nd day he
created the clouds and
oceans. On the 3rd day
he created land, plants
and trees, on the 4th day
he created sun, star
and moon; on the fifth
day he created the birds
and fishes; on the 6th
day he created man
and animals. On his 7th
day, he saw that
everything was good
and he rested.

Who was the first humans on earth Adan and Eve.

according to our biblical belief?

What do you believe in? Do you have

questions in mind regarding our
existence?

In today’s lesson we’re going to find out

what are other theories which talks about
the evolution of organisms on earth.

ENGAGE Arrange the scramble letters into the

proper arrangements.

EXPLORE For our activity for today, I will group you

into three. Each group should have a
leader, a secretary and 2 reporters.

This is what you should do. I had

prepared here the materials that you will (The students will

questions. I will only give you 10 minutes
to perform the activity.
 What are the things you should do in
doing your activity?

1. Cooperate
2. Minimize your voice.
3. Be careful
Is that clear, do you any questions? 4. Clean your area
afterwards.
Okay you may now start.
None Ma’am.

ELABORATE Based on the activity, what do you think is Theory of Evolution
our topic? proposed or developed
by Jean Baptiste
Lamarck. (Answer may
vary)

Jean Baptiste Lamarck

Very Good. Who is Jean Baptiste
developed the first
Lamarck?
theories on how species
 change. He concluded
that organisms of higher
complexity had evolved
from pre-existing less
complex organisms.

Theory of Need, Theory

What are the theories developed by of use and disuse and
Lamarck? theory of acquired
characteristics.
In this lesson we are going to use the
most common example which is the
giraffe to explain Lamarck’s theories of
evolution.

Let’s first use Lamarck’s giraffe. What can

you say about the picture? The giraffe before has
short necks and
developed long necks in
time.

Exactly! Now let’s discuss the 3 theories

using these giraffes.

What is Lamarck’s first theory? Please Theory of Need- states

read. that organisms change
in response to their
environment. Their
ability to survive helped
them developed
characteristics
necessary for them to
adapt in a given
environment.

(The teacher will discuss further and state

other examples applicable in order for the
students to understand each theory.)
Theory of Use and
Let’s now move with the second theory of Disuse- states that
Lamarck. organs not in use will
disappear while organs
in use will develop and
become stronger.
 Now what is the last theory developed by Theory of Acquired
Lamarck? Characteristics – states
that acquired
characteristics of the
parents such as the
lengthening of necks of
parent giraffes were
believed to be inherited
by their offspring and
propagated by the next
generation.
So that was the theory of Lamarck
explains to us. That was according to his
views that time. However, a lot of
experiments disproved his theories
especially the third one which is the
Acquired Characteristics.

Do you have something in mind why did

his third theory? Give me some examples.

Generalization Who is the scientist who believed that Jean Baptiste de

organisms change over time? Lamarck

Theory of Acquired
Characteristics.

Organisms change in

environment. (Answers
may vary)

What about the theory of use and disuse? Lamarck tells us that an
organ in use will
develop and get
stronger while organs
not in use will
disappear. (Answers
may vary)
How about the theory of acquired
characteristics? What does it tell us? Whatever the parent
 acquired during its
lifetime will be passed
on or be acquired also
by its offspring.
Excellent. Now let’s test your learnings.
