3 minutes ELICIT Class, what did we

discuss last meeting?
Yes_____? Ma’am, last meeting we
discuss about classifying
and naming of organism
or which we called
Hierarchical taxonomic
Exactly! system.
This classification has an
8 category, so what are
those?
Yes_____? Ma’am, the 8 category
are the domain, kingdom,
phylum, class, order,
family, genus, and
Very good! species.
So, the domain is the
largest category,
followed by the
kingdom, various phyla
or phylum and this
phylum consists of
different classes. Each
class has several
ordering. An order has
different families and
family consists of several
genra and each genus
comprises the smallest Yes ma’am.
group of various species.

Which of that category

are the largest or higher
ranks? Ma’am, the highest rank
Yes______? in 8 categories is the
domain.
Yes ma’am.
Very nice idea!
How about the lowest
rank? Ma’am, I think it is the
Yes______? species.
None ma’am.

Exactly!

So, what have you

notice about these

What did you observe
on the first picture? Ma’am, in the first
picture I observed that in
the rice fields it has the
bubbles that pop at the
water surfaces.
Wonderful!
How about in second
picture? Ma’am, in the second
picture, It shows the salt
ponds.
Very nice observation!
What did you notice on
the salt ponds? Ma’am, in the salt ponds,
it has a yellow and
orange color that is
floating or attached on

How about in the last

Ma’am, it shows the

the water is in high

they live in the various

Brilliant!
Base from the picture
that I showed to you a
while ago, those are the
environment of three
groups of
archaebacteria, namely
methanogens,
halopphiles, and
thermophiles groups.

Let’s discuss one by one

these three groups.

First, what is
methanogens?

Methanogens can Power point

survive in place without presentation
oxygen and some
members of this group
inhabit digestive tracts
of animals and ponds
where human and
domestic waste is
treated.

Do you understand? Yes ma’am.

Where did methanogens

live?
EXPLAIN Yes____? Ma’am, we can found Picture
methanogens in bottoms
of lake, swamps, and rice
fields.
15 Very good!
minutes Base from the picture
that I showed to you
who one is the example Ma’am, I think
of methanogens? methanogens are the
first picture.
Exactly!
If you live near in rice
fields, swamps and near
the lake, the bubbles
that pop at the water
surfaces is methane
meaning this
environment has or
contain methanogens.
The most important
characteristics of this
group is they can
produce the methane
gas and the methane gas Yes ma’am.
is utilized as a biogas.
Do you understand?

Any question about None ma’am.

methanogens?

Okay, let’s proceed to

the next group, which is
the Halophiles group.

Class, are you familiar Picture,

Yes ma’am, it is the place
about salt ponds? or area where the salts power point
are made. presentation
Very good!
If you lived in areas
which make salts, have
you observed the orange
or yellow color form on
the edges of the salt
ponds? Yes ma’am.

This color yellow and

orange that are form are
due to the present of
halophiles group.

Did you get it class? Yes ma’am.

So halophiles can found

in salty environment like
in salts ponds.
Understood? Yes ma’am.

Let’s move on to the

next group which is the
thermopiles groups.

When you hear the word

thermo, what comes
into your mind?
Yes____? Ma’am thermo means
hot or heat.
Yes that’s correct! Picture,
So thermopiles class are power point
 microorganism can lived presentation
in a high temperature.
This includes the
volcanic hot spring with
temperature from 80 to
110oC. They also inhabit
the small deep sea
opening where the hot
water with temperature
higher than 250oC comes
out.
Understood? Yes ma’am.

We are done in
discussing the three
groups of kingdom
archaebacteria.

So now, what do you

think is the significance
of understanding the
methanogens,
halopphiles, and
thermopiles in an
ecosystem?
Anyone? Ma’am, understanding
the three groups of
archaebacteria is
important because it help
us to know and be aware
on what is the role of
that organism in our
ecosystem. We can
understand that all
organisms that are
existing in this world has
something to do or has a
good benefits into
another organism. Like
in methanogens, without
it we cannot produce a
5 minutes ELABORATE methane gas that are
need in our daily living,
so by understanding this
topic we are now aware
that all life on earth is
important and gives a

benefits to each other.

Who can give a short

generalization about our
discussion today?
Yes_____? Ma’am, today we discuss
about the archaea
domain: kingdom
 archaebacteria. We
learned that there are
organisms that are live in
severe environments like
in a high temperature.
Also we discuss the three
groups of archaebacteria,
namely methanogens,
halophiles, and
thermopiles groups.
Excellent!
It seems that you
already learned our
discussion today.

Do you have any

question?
None ma’am.
Please get ¼ sheet of
paper, coz we will having
a short quiz.
