1. The lesson plan discusses teaching students about the theory of human evolution through exploring how physical appearances, academics, and beliefs have changed across generations of a student's family. 2. Students will do an activity comparing pictures and traits of their grandparents, parents, and themselves to identify similarities and differences that have evolved over time. 3. The theory of evolution proposes that natural selection leads populations to adapt and change over generations as traits better suited for the environment are passed on while others are not.

1. LESSON PLAN
Teacher: Gurdiel, Michael Clyde T.
Date: May 25, 2022
Subject/Grade Level: Science/Grade 7
Objectives
After performing the planned activities, the students should be able to:
1. Determine the scholars who created a theory regarding the evolution.
2. Describe the key differences among the features of early humans.
3. Discuss the theory of evolution, specifically the four main stages of human
evolution.
Subject Matter - Science
The Theory of Human Evolution - A Historical Perspective
Engage (Object, event, or question to engage the students and ask for prior
knowledge) Recall the following:
1. Charles Darwin developed the theory of evolution, but there was also a
contemporary scholar who also developed the theory named Alfred Russel
Wallace.
2. When environment change, the traits that enhance survival in that environment
will also gradually change, or evolve.
3. Natural selection was such a powerful idea in explaining the evolution of life.
Present the situation below to your students.
With so many people who have lived before you, what are the changes in the
physical appearance, academic achievements, and beliefs throughout the
generations?

2. Explore (Hands-on activities students will be exploring in order to answer the
question) Let the students do Activity No. 1 My Family Evolution)
Explain (Students make sense of data gathered. They explain and justify their
explanation using higher order thinking skills)
Elaborate (Students extend their learning to new situations)
Knowing that natural selection is the process through which populations of living
organisms adapt and change, what do you think are the adaptations that have undertaken
of people in the new normal situation as they have experience a pandemic? And how does
the pandemic changed people?
Evaluate (Students assess their progress in knowledge, skills, and
abilities.)
Fill in the blanks with the best answer.
____________________ speculated that humans must have descended from some other
type of creature whose young could survive without any help. He concluded that those
ancestors must be ______________ since they hatch from eggs and immediately begin
living with no help from their parents. Moreover, in the______________________,
organisms produce more _____________ than are able to survive in their environment.
Those that are better physically equipped to survive, grow to maturity, and reproduce. And
natural selection is sometimes summed up as “survival of the ____________”.
A phenomenon known as ____________ can also cause species to evolve. Those
organisms are not necessarily the fittest of their species, but it is their __________ that
get passed on to the next generation.
There were four main stages of human evolution, such as ___________________,
_________________,_____________________, and ___________________,
respectively.

3. Sample Activity
My Family Evolution
Objective:
Determine how the physical appearances, academic achievements, and
beliefs have changed in over three generation, from the grand mother,
parents, to the recent generation or the offspring.
A. Materials needed
1. Family picture (if you are a girl, get your grandmother, parents, and your picture if family
picture is not available).
2. Paper
3. Pen
B. Procedure
1. Compare side by side the pictures showcasing the faces of your grand parent, parent, and
your face.
2. Then paste them in a bond paper.
3. Below the pictures, create a table as shown below:
Features Grandparent Parent Me
Physical
Academics
Beliefs
4. Then, you may ask your parents regarding their educational attainment and their belief
regarding science.
5. Put your observations and the data you have gathered in the table that you have created.
Questions:
1. What are the significant and common physical features that you noticed?
2. What are the similarity and differences in your academic achievements?
3. What are the similarity and differences in your belief?
4. In the perspective of natural selection, why do you think the similarities and and differences
among the generations occurred?
