3. Checking of Attendance
Good morning, class!

Answer: Good morning teacher!

How are you today?
Good morning, classmates!

Answer: We’re good teacher, how

Do you feel happy or sad? Show your mood today with
about you.
the use of an emoji that you're holding and give me one

reason why you're feeling that way today

(The pupils will raise the emoticon

and they will share the reason

behind it)
B. Review

As I say bio say diversity!

bio?

Answer: diversity
bio?

bio? Answer: diversity

bio?
Answer: diversity

Answer: diversity
I have shuffled words here; can you guess our activity?

Answer: are we going to arrange the

shuffled words teacher?

Yes! you’re going to arrange these words. to make it easy

I’m going to define it. these word where tackled last

meeting, so are you ready to arrange the letters?

Answer: Yes, we are ready

Group yourself into two groups, the first group to finish

the arrangement will be the winner.

ETINONXCTI

EXTINCTION
-The disappearance of species from Earth is ongoing, and

rates have varied over time. (The pupils will stick the letter in

the board)

CTIMALE CGEHAN

CLIMATE CHANGE
- long-term changes in temperatures and weather patterns.

(The pupils will stick the letter in

the board)
GAORMNIS ORGANISM

-a living thing that has an organized structure, can react to (The pupils will stick the letter in

stimuli, reproduce, grow, adapt, and maintain homeostasis the board)

EPRODREUC REPRODUCE

-to produce again (The pupils will stick the letter in

the board)

EMYSTECOS

ECOSYSTEM
-a biological community of interacting organisms and

their physical environment. (The pupils will stick the letter in

the board)

C. Motivation

if the object has life- it's a living thing (Living things)

if the object eats and breath - it's living thing (living thing) (The pupils will dance and sing

together with the teacher)

if the object can grow, can react, and reproduce

if the object has life- it's living thing (living thing)

If the object has no life- it's a non-living thing (Non-

Living things)

if it doesn’t eat and breath - it's a non-living thing (Non-

living thing)

if the object doesn’t grow, nor react nor reproduce

if the object has no life - it's non-living thing (nonliving

thing)

now you know the difference of the two

the living thing and non-living thing

living things like humans, plants and animals too Don't

forget this song and sing

D. Lesson Proper

I have here a picture of things that we can see in our

surroundings. (Show pictures)

When I ask a question raised the thumbs up card if you

agree and if not raised the thumbs down.

Can they move?

Can they grow?

Can they reproduce?

Do they have a life? (The students raised a card)

This thing that can grow, move, reproduce, and have a life

are called “LIVING THINGS”

The things that need food, water, and air are called.?

Every living organism on earth needs some basic things to Student: living things!

survive.

These are the basic needs that all living things have. They

are

Sunlight:

This is probably the most important need for all living

organisms because it is the source of all energy. It also

provides heat for plants and animals.

 Student: the plant A will not have

any nutrients. If left for so long the

leaves will eventually dry and fall

off the plant.

Student: the plant B begins to grow

upward and stretch their stems to

reach for the sunlight.

Water:

Water is the medium in which living cells and tissue work.

Water is also a living environment for living things.

(Will elaborate)

Air:

Air is made up of several gases, but the two most

important gases are Oxygen and Carbon dioxide. Without

oxygen, animals will die, and without carbon dioxide,

plants cannot survive.

Food (nutrients):

Living things need energy for function. Energy is needed

to grow, reproduce, move, and to work. Think of what

would happen if you stayed for three days without food.

Space to Grow

All living things need space. A plant’s roots need space so

that they can spread out and absorb water and nutrients. Its

leaves need space so that they access light. When plants

grow too close together, they must compete for these

resources.

Student: If carrots are spaced too

close together, there isn't enough

room to develop large healthy roots

and they may become stunted or

misshapen.
 Student: letter A

A Habitat with the Right Temperature:

Too cold or too hot? Every living organism needs the

ideal temperature to survive either on land or in water.

Now, we shall take a close look at what each need really

means and why it is extremely important that they get

their living needs.

Many species relocate themselves once the winter comes,

like birds, and some of them burn and get cancer if they

have too much of Sun, like humans.

Shelter:

An organism’s shelter protects it from predators and

weather. Shelter also provides a space for eating, sleeping,

hunting, and raising a family. Shelters come in many

forms. A single tree, for example, can provide sheltered

habitats for many different organisms. For a caterpillar,

shelter might be the underside of a leaf. For a mushroom

fungus, shelter might be the cool, damp area near tree

roots. For a bald eagle, shelter may be a high perch to

make a nest and watch for food.

Can you classify again basic needs of living things?

Clara: Sunlight, water, food, space,

air, and temperature teacher.

E. GENERALIZATION
Since you already know the basic needs of the

environment, can someone tell me what are the seven

basic needs of plants, animals, and humans?

Thea: Sunlight, Air, Water,

Living things have certain basic needs. If any one of these Temperature, Food, Space to grow,

basic needs is not met, then living things cannot survive. Shelter

I guess the classification of the basic needs of a Living

thing was clear and the importance on how the Living

things will survive.

F. Application

I will group you into three groups to arrange the pictures,

then paste them in a cartolina. After you arrange them, put

them in the corresponding box.

(The pupils will start to arrange the

 images)

IV. Evaluation

activity to test your knowledge.

V. Assignment

Choose one of your family members and conduct an interview about the basic needs of living

things. Answer the following questions:

1. What do you think will happen if we do not lessen human activities that can have

negative effects on the environment?

2. What will be the possible solution that you think will help reduce its effects?

3. Why is it important that all living thin
