A. PRELIMINARY ACTIVITIES (3mins)

1. Prayer
2. Greetings
3. Checking of Attendance
4. Reading of House Rule
5. Checking of Assignment
The teacher will present an audiovisual
DepEd Interfaith Prayer to the class.
Good morning Grade 10- Mabini. Before
you take your seats, please arrange your
chairs and pick up the pieces of paper under
your chair, keep it first inside your bag and
throw it in the trash bin later.
The teacher will ask the classroom
leader/secretary who is /are absent.
Everybody read the classroom rules
Did I give you an assignment last meeting?
Yes, Sir.
Kindly share your output in the class.
Give 5 examples of Homologous and
Analogous structures Homologous Structures:
Students will stand and will take a
moment of silence for the prayer.
Students arrange their chairs and pick up
the pieces of paper
The classroom leader will mention the
following student/s who is/are absent.
Classroom Rules:
1. Come to class on time.
2. Listen and follow directions.
3. Raise your hand if you want to speak
4. Respect everyone in the class.
1. The forelimbs of mammals like
humans, cats, whales, and bats.
2. The wings of birds and the forelimbs
of bats.
 3. The flippers of whales and the
forelimbs of land mammals.
4. The pentadactyl limb structure in
vertebrates, including humans, dogs,
horses, and bats.
5. The skeletal structure of the fins of
fish and the limbs of tetrapods.

Analogous Structures:

1. The wings of bats and the wings of

birds.
2. The wings of butterflies and the wings
of birds.
3. The flippers of penguins and the
flippers of dolphins.
4. The eyes of octopuses and the eyes of
vertebrates.
5. The streamlined bodies of sharks and
dolphins for swimming.
Last meeting we talked about one of the
pieces of evidence of evolution, the
comparative anatomy.

Can somebody recall what is comparative

anatomy?
The study of similarities and
differences in the structures of different
species.

Similar body parts may be homologies

or analogies. Both provide evidence for
evolution.

What are the types of comparative

anatomy? Homologous structures, analogous
structures, and vestigial structures.

ELICIT (7 mins) What do you mean by homologous

structures? Homologous structures the body parts of
organisms that may perform different
functions but are of the same origin.

How about the analogous structures? Analogous structures are the body parts
of organisms that may perform the same
function but are of the different origins.

The last one is vestigial structures. What is

it all about? Body parts that are useless or left over
from a previous ancestor in which they
were useful
Very good class, I guess you’ve already
mastered our topic from the last meeting.
Now do you have any question before we
proceed to the next topic?

Before we proceed to our discussion, let us

ENGAGE (5 mins) first a game.
Do you love to play games class?
 I see that you are eager to play the game
for today’s class.
The name of the game is “Decode Me”. I
will group the class into six (6). Each team
will now form a circle to be able to
communicate with each other. Now, class I
just want you to look at the board, you will
see numbers that decode the given
numbers to their corresponding letters of
the alphabet.

Based on this activity, what do you think Evidence from Embryonic Development
our lesson for today?

Alright, our topic is all about the evidence

from embryonic development

discussion.
• Explain how embryonic
development provides clues for
evolution.
• Compare the stages embryonic
development of different
organisms.
• Recognize the importance of
Embryonic Development as
evidence of evolution.

Patterns in Embryonic Development

The next activity is about the comparison

of the embryonic development of different
organisms. This activity will help the
learners understand how embryonic
development provides patterns in the
concept of evolution and relatedness of
EXPLORE ( 5 mins) certain animals.

Instructions:

The class will be divided into 6 groups and

each group will be given an activity sheet.
If you have more inquiries, do not hesitate
to approach me. You have 5 minutes to
complete the activity. Present your activity
in front once the time is up.
 Answer the guide questions provided and
present your output in front.

Rubric for the Activity: ancestors. (Answer may vary).

You will be graded based on the rubric

provided:

Class do you have any idea what is

embryo?
Embryo is the initial stage in the
development of humans and other
animals or plants.
What is embryonic development?
The portion of the life cycle that begins
EXPLAIN (15 minutes) just after fertilization

Okay, embryo is an early stage of

development in organisms. So,
Embryonic development include stages
such as blastula, gastrula, and
organogenesis.

Blastula is the developing embryos

Do you have any idea, what is gastrula?

the cells in the blastula rearrange

themselves to form three layers of cells
Very good! and form the body plan.

How about organogenesis? Do you

have any idea?
Gastrulation leads to the formation of
the three germ layers; the germ layers
ultimately lead to development of the
Very good! different organs in the animal body.
This process is called organogenesis.
What animals have similar embryos?

Fish and frogs sir.

The embryo of fishes, salamanders,
lizards, birds, cats, and humans are
similar during the first stage of their
embryonic development; and have
several homologous structures that are
not present when the organisms are
adults.

Can embryonic development be an

evidence that evolution took place?
Yes, it can be an evidence.

Many organisms have similar embryos,

supporting the idea of common ancestors.

Studies show that species that are

closely related exhibit similar
embryonic development. Even when in
the adult stage, the organisms are quite
different.

Do you have any questions about

embryonic development?
 None sir
Did you understand our topic for today
class?
Yes, sir.
Again, what are the 3 stages in embryonic
development?
Blastula, gastrula, and organogenesis
What is the importance of embryonic
development in the study of evolution? Embryonic development offers insights
into evolutionary relationships through
shared patterns and conserved
processes, highlighting ancestral origins
and evolutionary transitions.
Additionally, studying embryonic
development reveals how selective
ELABORATE (5 mins) pressures shape adaptations and the
constraints that influence the direction
of evolutionary change.

Very well said!

class, any questions and clarifications?

None Sir.

For your assessment, get ¼ sheet of paper

and answer the following:

1. _______ is an early stage of

development in organisms.
Answers:
EVALUATE (5 mins) 2. Embryo of fish and frogs are 1. Embryo
________. 2. Similar
3. Cats
3. Embryo of human is similar 4. Blastula
5. Gastrula

4-5. We have 3 stages in embryonic

development, give at least 2.

Read in advance about the genetic
information as evidence of evolution.
