This document outlines a science lesson plan for an 8th grade class on biodiversity. The objectives are to define biodiversity, actively participate in class activities, and understand the importance of biodiversity in daily life. The lesson will include reviewing the alphabet game definition, watching two video presentations on biodiversity, and splitting students into groups to demonstrate their understanding through a song, role play, drawing or poem. Formative assessment includes a true/false quiz and an assignment communicating with others about local species names. The teacher reflects on students' progress and identifies strategies for improvement.

I. OBJECTIVES
Objectives must be met over the week and connected to the curriculum standard. To meet the
objectives, necessary procedure must be followed and if needed, additional lesson exercises and
remedial activitiesmaybe done for the developing content knowledge and competencies. Theseare
assessed during Formative Assessment strategies. Valuing objectives support the learning of the
content and competencies and enable children to find significance and joy in learning the lessons.
Weekly objectives shall be derived from the curriculum guide.
A. Content Standard
The learners demonstrate an understanding of: (1) the concept of a
species; and (2) the species as being further classified into a
hierarchical taxonomic system.
B. Performance Standards
The learners should be able to: report (e.g., through a travelogue)
on the activities that communities engage in to protect and conserve
endangered and economically important species.
C. Learning Competencies
(Write the LC Codes for
Each)
The learners should be able to explain the concept of a species.
(S8LT-IVg-19)
D. Objectives
At the end of the lesson, the learners should be able to:
1. define biodiversity;
2. actively participate during the class activities; and
3. give importance of biodiversity to our daily life.
II. CONTENT
Content is what the lesson is all about. It pertains to the subject matter that the teacher aims to teach
in the CG, the content can be tackled in a week or two.
III. LEARNING
RESOURCES
List the materials to be used in different days. Variedmaterialssustain children’s interest in the lesson
and in learning. Ensure that there is a mix of concrete and manipulative materials as well as paper-
based materials. Hands-on learning promotes concept development.

IV. PROCEDURE
These steps should be done across the week. Spread out the activities appropriately so that the
students will learn well. Always be guided bydemonstrationof learning bythe students which you can
infer from formative assessment activities. Sustain learning systematicallybyproviding students with
multiple ways to learn new things, practice their learning, question theirlearning processes, and draw
conclusion about what they learned in relation to their life experiences and previous knowledge.
Indicate the time allotment for each step.
A. Reviewing previous lesson
or presenting the new
lesson
The Alphabet Game
Students will be asked to describe Biodiversity through providing words
that starts with every letter of the alphabet which associates
Biodiversity.
(One word/letter)
Ex. Apple, Boy, Cat…
 Based on your activity, how do you define Biodiversity?
 Based on your understanding, biodiversity is composed of
________.

ELABORATE
Ask students the question:
1. As a student, how are you going to protect and conserve
our biodiversity?
I. Evaluating learning
EVALUATION
Paper and Pen Test:
The students are given a TRUE or FALSE type of quiz.
1. “Biodiversity” means “the variety of life on Earth”.
2. All human activities depend directly on the
environment.
3. Humans are dependent on biodiversity for survival.
4. Urbanization causes biodiversity loss.
5. All forests are an important source of oxygen.
J. Additional activities for
application or remediation
Assignment:
The students will communicate with relatives and friends in other
places (e.g., in other islands within the country, if possible) through
text or email on how birds, shark, or green algae (lato/ar-arusep) are
called in their area.
V. REMARKS
VI. REFLECTION
Reflect on your teaching and assess yourself as a teacher. Think about your students’ progress this

instructional supervisor can provide for you so when you meet them, you can ask them relevant
questions.
A. No. of the learners earned 80%
in the evaluation
B. No. of learners who required
additional activities for
remediation who scored below
80%
C. Did the remedial lesson work?
Number of learners who have
caught up with the lesson
D. Number of learners to require
remediation
E. Which of my teaching strategies
worked well? Why did these
work?
F. What difficulties did I encounter
which my principal or my
supervisor can help me solve?
G. What innovation or localized
materials did I use/discover
which I wish to share with other
