CHARACTERISTICS
OF VERTEBRATES AND INVERTEBRATES Part 1 A.ENGAGEMENT Review:
What are the healthy habits
that promote proper functioning of the organs system? A.ENGAGEMENT Motivation: Recall the concept of skeleton and its importance to the students. Demonstrate the location of the backbone by asking the students to touch the backbone of their friend and ask the following questions:
-What do you think that what is
the role of our backbone? -Do you know animals also have backbone? A.ENGAGEMENT Pre Laboratory Activities: a. Preparation of Materials b. Settings of Standards to be followed Ask: What are the standards to be followed while performing the experiments? c. Discussion of Precautionary Measures B. EXPLORATION Activity Proper: 1. Divide the class into small groups 2. Provide instructions in doing the activity (allotted time for the activity, the data table to be accomplished, group presenter/ member’s role/responsibility precautionary measures to take) 3. Supervise the class while they are doing the activity. 4. Observe closely how pupils perform the experiment. ( Pls. see activity sheets) C. EXPLANATION Post Laboratory Activities: 1. Reporting results. The pupils will report their output on the performed activities (5 mins. for each group) 2. Compare the results of the data gathered of each group. 3. Discussion, Analysis and Data Interpretation What do you mean by vertebrates? What are the characteristics of vertebrates? How would you describe them? Can you give me an example of vertebrates? C. EXPLANATION Generalization:
What are the characteristics of
vertebrates? How would you describe them? SCIENCE CONCEPTS Vertebrates are animals with backbones. Vertebrates can be classified into smaller groups. Each of which has certain characteristics. Vertebrates include mammals, reptiles, amphibians, birds, and fishes. SCIENCE CONCEPTS Vertebrates have economic importance. They are sources of food, medicine, and are used in scientific investigations and contribute to the harmony of organisms in the environment. D. ELABORATION Application: Have students create an imaginary creature. Instruct them to draw a picture of the creature and create a fact sheet for their creation. Remind students to give enough information such as their characteristics and include facts about vertebrates. D. ELABORATION Values Integration: The animal is left in a house or yard that appears empty. Reports of companion animals abandoned and left to die inside vacant buildings or apartment units are alarmingly common, and it’s a crime in all 50 states to abandon an animal. You notice a neighbor has moved or has stopped visiting a residence where you know animals live and you heard some dogs that are howling or barking for several hours. What will you do? E. EVALUATION Write the characteristics of the following animals. E. EVALUATION F. ASSIGNMENT
Create a short story about your
imaginary creatures. Ask them to include facts about vertebrates in the story.
