floor.
.
o Motivation

 Show pictures of mosquito, butterfly

and frog.

 Do you know where these creatures From eggs, ma’am.

came from?

 Before we proceed with our lesson, we

will play a game called “4 pics, 1
word”

(Teacher will explain the game)

o Presentation

 Today, you will study how these

animals develop from an egg to a flying
and leaping creatures. Or simply, their
life cycle.
  Let us read our objectives for today. Students are expected to read the objectives.
Everybody read. At the end of the lesson the learners are
expected to:

1. Compare some life cycles of animals,

e.g., mosquito, butterfly and frog.

Alright, thank you.

o Activity
 Pre- Activity

 Now, let’s have a group

activity. You already have your
permanent groupings right?

 I have here 3 envelopes.

Each group will be
given different activities
to do. Just follow the
instructions given.

 After you finished your

activity, each group will
choose a representative
to discuss your work in
front of the class.

 I just want to remind

you the standards and
rubrics of our activity.

 You are only given 15

minutes to perform the
activity. After that we
will start the reporting.

 Leader of each group,

please get your
envelopes in front.

 You may now proceed

to your respective
groups and start
performing the activity.

 Minimize your noise

while working.

 Activity Proper
 (Students will be doing their activity)

Group 1:
Instruction: You are given pictures and a paper
plate that is divided into 4 quadrants. Make a
diagram of a life cycle of a butterfly.

Group 2.
Instruction: You are given pictures and a paper
plate that is divided into 4 quadrants. Make a
 diagram of a life cycle of a fly.

Group 3
Instruction: You are given pictures and a paper
plate that is divided into 4 quadrants. Make a
diagram of a life cycle of a frog.

 (Reporter of each group discusses their

included in our activity?
 Egg.
 First, we will talk about the life cycle of
a butterfly. Based on your activity,
what is the first stage of the life cycle
of a butterfly?
 A female lays egg. Sometimes the eggs

 Larva
 What is the 2nd stage?
 The egg becomes a caterpillar.
 What happens on the larva stage?
 Pupa

What is the 3 stage?
 Caterpillar make cocoon around
 How will you describe the pupa stage? themselves, and become busy changing
into their adult forms.

 Pupa comes out and became a butterfly.

 What happens next?

 Let us proceed to the second life cycle

that we are going to discuss, which is
the life cycle of a mosquito.
 Egg.

covering or case.

 Larva.
 What is the next stage?
 The eggs hatched. But it does not look
 What happens in the larva stage? like a full grown mosquito.

 Pupa.
 How about the third stage?

 Mosquito make cocoon around

 How will you describe the pupa stage? themselves, and become busy changing
into their adult forms.
  Adult mosquito.
 What is the last stage?
 The animal is already full grown with
complete body parts.
 Describe what happens on the last
stage?

 Now, let us proceed to the next life

cycle that we are going to discuss. The
life cycle of a frog?
 Egg.
 Based on your activity, what is the first
stage of the frog’s life cycle?
 Larva.
 The second stage?
 The egg becomes a tadpole and
develops into a small frog.
 What happens on the larva stage of a
frog?
 Adult. The animal is a full gron frog
with complete body parts.
 And the last stage?
 Life cycle is a series of stages a living
thing goes through during its life.
 Based on your activity, how will you
define life cycle?
 Cycle Diagram.
 What do you call this graphic organizer
that was used to show the life cycle of
animals?

o ABSTRACTION
 Egg-Larva-Pupa-Adult Butterfly
 Who can enumerate the order of the life
cycle of the butterfly?
 Egg-Larva-Pupa-Adult Mosquito
 How about the order of the life cycle of
the mosquito?
 Egg-Larva-Adult Frog
 Lastly, who can enumerate the order of
the life cycle of the frog?

 Not all animals has the same life cycle.

 What can you say about the 3 life
cycles that we have discussed? How
will you compare them?

o APPPLICATION
 Answers may vary. Let the students
defend their answers.
 Are butterflies important or harmful?
 Butterflies contribute in pollination or
reproduction of flowers.

 No.
 So the next time you see a butterfly, are
you going to harm them out? Or not?
  Answers may vary. Let the students
 Are mosquitoes important or harmful? defend their answers.

 Mosquitoes are carrier of the dangerous

disease called dengue.

 Answers may vary. Let the students

important or harmful?
 Frogs are source of food
