B. EXPLORATION Present the pictures and guide questions will be answered by the pupils. Activity : “What is in the Picture?” Directions: Look at the picture below. Describe the environmental factors affecting life cycle of organisms in the following environments. Answer the guide questions below. Picture 1 Picture 2
Picture 3 Guide Questions: 1.What kind of environment is in picture 1? picture 2? picture 3? What do we call this habitat? 2.What organisms can be found in environment/habitat 1? habitat 2? habitat 3?
3.What are the environmental factors
affecting the life cycle of organisms? 4.In what way does water help in the life cycle of organisms? food? shelter? space? 5.What will happen to the organisms if there is: a.limited food? b.insufficient water? c.limited space for the organism? d.no shelter? C. EXPLANATION A habitat is a place where an organism makes its home. Some examples of habitats are the forest, farm, wetlands, ocean, freshwater, and desert. A habitat meets all the environmental conditions an organism needs to survive. The main components of a habitat are shelter, water, food, and space. A habitat is said to have a suitable arrangement when it has the correct amount of all of these. The environmental factors affecting the life cycle of organisms are as follows: food, water, shelter and space. Each factor affects in the life cycle of the organisms. Food is an environmental factor needed by all organisms. They use it to get energy and perform life processes. Food is also needed for organisms’ growth and development of the body. Living organisms need water to survive. Other organisms require water to break down food molecules or generate energy during the respiration process. Water also helps many organisms regulate metabolism and dissolves compounds going into or out of the body. An organism’s shelter protects it from other animals and extreme weather. Shelter also provides 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. Organisms need a living space or enough area for them to obtain resources like food, water, and oxygen. It is also an area where they can express their physical and social behaviors. Activity Directions: In 1-2 sentences, describe the effects of the following environments on the life cycle of organisms. 1
____________________________________ ____________________________________ ____________________________________ ____________________________________ ____________________________________ D. ELABORATION A.Directions:Look at the picture below and answer the questions that follow. Questions: 1. What can you say about the picture? What organisms can you see?
2. What environmental factors are
present in the picture of habitat?
3. Why do you think are water, food,
shelter, and space important to the organisms in that particular habitat? Questions: 4. What do you think will happen to the life cycle of organisms if all environmental factors are present in a habitat? What if one or all of the factors are absent?
5. How can you help organisms continue
having a normal life cycle in the environment? B.Directions: Complete the table below by describing the effects of the kind of environment to the life cycle of organisms. Then, answer the questions that follow. Type of Effect to the life cycle of Environment organisms 1. polluted seawater 2. deforested mountain 3. food shortage for animals inthe zoo 4. overpopulated fishpond Questions: 1.What did you realize from the activity above? 2.What will happen if the environment cannot provide the needs of the different living organisms? 3.
