animals and will identify what it is. Then
they will raise the blue color paper if it
lives in the water and green color paper if
it lives in the land.
Yes we are!
Is that clear?

3. Review:
 Class, before we proceed to our next topic. Our lesson yesterday is all about
Let us first have a review. What was our vertebrates and invertebrates.
lesson yesterday?

Okay, what is the difference between Vertebrates are animals with backbone
vertebrates and invertebrates? while Invertebrates are animals without
backbone.
In vertebrates we have five classifications,
what are those? The classifications of vertebrates are
mammals, amphibians, reptiles, birds
and fish.

Okay, as a review we will have a short activity.

You just have to identify the classification of
vertebrates as I show you the flash card showing
the names of animals.
Yes we are!
Is that clear?
Fish
Shark Bird
Eagle Mammal
Dolphin Reptile
Crocodile Amphibian
Frog Mammal
Monkey

Very good grade six 

4. Unlocking of Difficulties
Arrange the jumbled letters to define the
answers in the questions below.

NOMO 1. “alone,” “single,” “one”. MONO

LAPNECAT 2. the temporary organ that feeds a PLACENTA
fetus (developing baby) inside its mother's womb.
GNAW
WANG 3. to bite or chew.

HOFO 4. a covering of tough material that

protects the ends of the toes of some animals ( horses, HOOF
cow, or pigs).

RIPMEAT 5. the group that contains all the

species commonly related to the lemurs, monkeys, and PRIMATE
apes, with the latter category including humans.
 B. Developmental Activities

1. Motivation:

I will show them a real hamster and I will ask

some questions.

What can you say about the animal?

A Hamster
What else?
It is a kind of vertebrate.
It has two arms and two legs.

It is an example of?
A mammal.
When we say mammal, it has a ..
Mammary gland!
Very good grade six!

2. Lesson Proper:

Now class, we will be discussing about the first

classification of vertebrates which is the
Mammals.

What are mammals again?

Mammals are warm blooded animals and
have a mammary gland.
Alright! Do you know that there are kinds of
mammals? Yes .. No ..

Okay, Mammal has three kinds. These are the

Monotremes, Marsupials, and Placental
Mammals.

What are monotremes? Please read.

Monotremes are the egg-laying mammals.

The duckbill platypus and spiny anteater of
Australia are the only living monotremes of
Australia.

Kangaroo

Koala
The third kind of mammals is the Placental Placental Mammals are the largest and
mammals. Please read.. most successful groups of mammals.

Yes! In Placental Mammals we have different

kinds. These are the Meat-eating Mammals,
Flying mammals, Insect Eating Mammals,
Rodents, Hoofed Mammals, Aquatic
Mammals, and Primates.

Please read each definition. Meat-eating Mammals or carnivores are

Meat-eating Mammals is .. strong and fast moving and have sharp
claws.
Examples:

Cat
Dog

Lions Cat, Dog, Lions, Tiger, Bear.

Tiger

Bear

Second is the Flying Mammals, please read!

Bats are mammals capable of flying. A

covered and connected by a membrane
similar to the skin.

Bat
Third is the Insect Eating Mammals. Please read Insect Eating Mammals or insectivores

and lives underground.
Examples:

Mole, Hedgehog, Shrew

Fourth is the Rodents, please read! Rodents or gnawing mammals that has a
sharp, chisel-like incisor teeth used for
Examples: gnawing.

Rat, Porcupines, Beavers, Squirrels,

Fifth kind of placental mammals are Hoofed Hoofed mammals are mammals with feet
mammals, please read. in the form of hoofs that is called
ungulates.
Examples:

Deer Sheep

Pig Cattle

Giraffe

The sixth kind of placental mammals is Aquatic

mammals. Please read! Aquatic mammals or cetaceans are the
animals that adapt life in the ocean.
Examples: Although they breath air, they can remain
under water for long periods of time by
holding their breath.

Whales Porpoises
Whales, Porpoises, Dolphins.

Dolphins
The last kind of placental mammals is the Primates are the mammals that can walk
primates. Please read! using only their hind legs. These include
humans and monkeys. All primates have
well developed grasping hands that enable
Examples: them to handle and manipulate objects.

Gorilla, Baboon, Monkey.

Alright grade six. Did you understand our lesson Yes we are 
for today?

C. Concluding Activities

1. Group Activity:
- Share your ideas.
Now that you already know the kinds of - Cooperate with the group.

activity?

Group the class into three groups and they

are going to do the task given to them.
(students perform the activity)

Group 1: Make a jingle or cheer about the

kinds of mammals.

Group 2: Choose and draw one kind of

mammal that you would like to take care
and why?
 Group 3: Arrange the picture random
animals and identify each kind of
mammals.

2. Generalization:

Okay! Let us check your understanding about the

lesson.

What are mammals? Mammals are warm blooded animals and

it has a mammary gland.

Again, what are the kinds of mammals? The kinds of mammals are Monotremes,
Marsupials and Placental Mammals.

What are the kinds of placental mammals? The kinds of placental mammals are Meat-
eating mammals, flying mammals, insect
eating mammals, rodents, hoofed
Very good grade six  mammals, aquatic mammals, and
primates.

3. Application:

I have here three balloons and it is composed of

questions. I need three volunteers to answer.

Why is it important to study the kinds of

mammals?

If animals are gone, what will happen to (student’s will pop the balloon and will
our environment? answer)

“We are stewards of God’s Creations.”

How will you apply this in your daily life?

4. Evaluation:
