B. Lesson Proper
ENGAGE
The teacher will ask the class about their previous lesson in Reproduction of Non-flowering plants.
After the review, the teacher will present a game called "Guess the Picture." The class will be divided into
two groups. The teacher will show different pictures on the screen, and students need to quickly tap the
table to be recognized. The student that taps the table first will guess, identify, or describe what the picture
is showing. The teacher will ask simple follow-up questions about the picture that is related to the next topic.
And the group that has the highest points wins.
EXPLORE
Moving Station Activity. The class will be divided into two groups. The grade 5 students will be the first
group, and the grade 6 students will be the second group. The teacher will provide a worksheet for each
group with different sets of guide questions appropriate for the students' grade level. Both groups will go first
to the 1st station, and after 1 minute of observing the picture provided in the station, they need to move to
the next until they finish the 3rd station. After finishing the three stations, each group will be given another 5
minutes to brainstorm and collaborate with their groupmates to answer the guide questions in the provided
worksheet.
EXPLAIN
Following the activity given, every group will showcase their responses to the guiding questions and
explain their observations on the images at each station. To further enhance the students' understanding of
the concepts explored in the activities, the teacher will then conduct a lecture discussion about the two types
of ecosystems and the three key habitats—mangrove swamps, coral reefs, and tropical rainforests—that
support both living and non-living components.
ELABORATE
The class will be randomly grouped into two. The teacher will present a scenario/video where the
ecosystems are at risk, and each group will observe it. After the video, each group will be given 3 minutes to
make an essay, including identifying the cause and effect on the video and what are the solutions or ways to
protect and conserve ecosystems that serve as nurseries, breeding places, and habitats for economically
important plants and animals. After 3 minutes, the representative of each group will present their essay in
the class.
EVALUATE
Direction: The teacher will provide a worksheet that is appropriate for the students' grade level.
