A. ENGAGE

Teachers’ Activity Learners’ Activity

 Opening Prayer
 Checking attendance

We already tackle the 3 Domain, Kingdom,

plants. And last kingdom is Animals.

Before we tackle our next topic,

Let’s have games, are you familiar the 4 pics 1
word. You will determine what the animal are
they? Yes ma’am!

So let’s begins,

No. 1
SNAIL

No. 2 TIGER
No. 3

BIRDS

Alright! How will you answer those pictures by By means of looking their appearance.
means of what?

B. EXPLORE

Teachers’ Activity Learners’ Activity

The students will group into five and answer the
work sheet in 10 minutes.

I will give you 2 pictures and you will describe

this organism base on their body designed
(characteristics).

Group 1. Snail, round worm

Group 2. flatworm, jelly fish
Group 3. Sponges, erthworms
Group 4. frog, brittle star
Group 5, human, cockcroach

You will choose their characteristic on the

screen.

C. EXPLAIN

Teachers’ Activity Students’ activity

The students will answer the following guide
questions with activity sheet along in 15
minutes.
1. What name of animal does your group
have?
2. Describe the appearance of your animals
3. Where do you think they are live?
4. Do they have a backbone? (presence of
bones) YES or NO
5. what phylum does your animal belong
to?
D. ELABORATE
Teachers’ Activity
The teacher will use power point presentation
in the discussion of the lesson
Let’s see if your answers are correct!
But before that, let us know first the
characteristics of Animal Kingdom.
So what do animals have in common?
Animal kingdom divided in 2 groups and they
are?
Now under the animal kingdom is divided into
phylum based on body designed. So what
are those?
So first phylum we tackle is porifera, and
What is phylum porifera?
How about phylum COELENTERATA?
Phylum PLATYHELMINTHES?
Then phylum NEMATHELMINTHES?
Next is phylum ANNELIDA?
Phylum MOLLUSCA?
And so on.
Students’ activity
-Heterotrophic
- multicellular eukaryotes
-Sexually and asexual reproduction
-no cell walls
-move themselves from place to place but
some are attached to one spot.
