IV. Procedure

Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity

Preliminary Activities
Good morning, class! Good morning, Ma’am!

How are you, class? We’re doing great, Ma’am.

May I call on Jhoanna to lead the prayer. (Jhoanna will pray)

Thank you, Jhoanna for that heartfelt prayer.

Who are absent today? There are no absent today.

It’s good to know that all of you are present!

Before we proceed to our new lesson, what did I learned about the Theories of Evolution.
you learn last meeting?

What are the Theories of Evolution? Jean Baptiste Lamarck has 3 theories:
The Theory of Needs states that states
that organisms change in response to their
environment
The Theory of Use and Disuses states that
organs not in use will disappear, while
organs in use will develop.
The Theory of Acquired Characteristics
states that if an organism changes during
life in order to adapt to its environment,

those changes are passed on to its

offspring.

Charles Darwin:
The Theory of Natural Selection states that
organisms that are more adapted to their
environment are more likely to survive and
pass on the genes that aided their success.
Very good! You were able to recall the topics
we tackled last meeting.

But before we start our lesson, do you want to Yes, Ma’am.

play a game?

A. Before the Lesson (Motivation)

This game is called PictoWord.

Mechanics of the game:

1. The students will read two or more
pictures to form a word that is connected
to the topic.

Are you ready? Yes, Ma’am.

Ecosystem, Ma’am.

Organism, Ma’am.

Biodiversity, Ma’am.

Very good!

Based on your answer on the game earlier, Our topic is all about Biodiversity, Ma’am.
what do you think is our topic for today?

Exactly!

B. Lesson Proper (Discussion)

I have here a video clip about Biodiversity,
analyze it and we will have sharing of
knowledge about the video.

Are you ready? Yes, Ma’am.

https://youtu.be/GK_vRtHJZu4?si=HOOKc_QjgcKWCXAg (The student will watch the video)

Based on the video, what is your analysis? The video is about the importance of different
organisms in ecosystem. And how it maintains
the biodiversity.

Very good!

In the word Biodiversity, what are the words Bio and Diverse, Ma’am.
that combined?

Yes, that’s right!

What is Bio and Diverse? Bio, means life, and Diverse means different,
Ma’am.

Now, from the word life and different, what is Biological diversity — is the variety of all living
Biodiversity? things and their interactions.

Biodiversity is all the different kinds of life

you'll find in one area—the variety of animals,
plants, fungi, and even microorganisms like
bacteria that make up our natural world.

Very good class!

Organisms are a living thing that has an

organized structure, can react to stimuli,
reproduce, grow, adapt, and maintain
homeostasis.

Very good!
The three main ecosystem roles an organism
What is the role of Organisms in Biodiversity?
can occupy are producers, consumers, and
decomposers.
Good job!

Now, that you have define Biodiversity and

Organisms, we will be discussing the different
types of Biodiversity.

1. Direct Economic Value

2. Indirect Economic Value
3. Aesthetic Value

What is Direct Economic Value? The species is considered to have direct

economic value if their products are sources of
food, medicine, clothing, shelter, and energy.

Give me example of medicine that are extracted Vinblastine and Vincristine, these chemicals
from plants. are extracted from the plant Rosy Periwinkle
and are used in chemotherapy for Hodgkin’s
disease and some form of cancer including
leukemia.

Very good!

Lagundi plant, vitex negundo is extracted for

cough syrup production.

Do you understand the Direct Economic Value? Yes, Ma’am.

What is Indirect Economic Value? A species has an indirect economic value if

there are benefits produced by the organism
without using them.

Can you give me an example of Indirect

Economic Value? The Pollination of bees, it has indirect
economic value because bees and other
pollinators also result in larger, more flavorful
fruits and higher crop yields.

The maintenance of water and oxygen

circulation by plants. With these, oxygen is
produced for human use, and human releases
carbon dioxide for plant use.

The roots of plant that can prevent floods.

Very good class!

Do you understand the Indirect Economic

Yes, Ma’am.
Value?

What is Aesthetic Value?

A lot of species provides visual or artistic
enjoyment, like a forested landscape and the
calming beauty of a natural park; or they may
be used for spiritual meditation like the Prayer
Mountains.

species in Biodiversity?

Generalization
Name the 3 Values of Species in Biodiversity Direct Economic Value - The species is
considered to have direct economic value if
their products are sources of food, medicine,
clothing, shelter, and energy.

Indirect Economic Value - A species has an

indirect economic value if there are benefits
produced by the organism without using them.

Aesthetic Value - A lot of species provides

visual or artistic enjoyment, like a forested
landscape and the calming beauty of a natural
park.
