Grade-10, Quarter 2, Week 1

LANGUAGE OF RESEARCH, CAMPAIGNS, AND ADVOCACIES

Learning Objective:

Observe the language of research, campaigns, and advocacies (MELC


EN10G-IVa-32)

Key Concepts

• Animals on the planet live in different habitat or places. Some of them


live on land while others live in water.
Aquatic Animals

• Aquatic animals have specialized body structures that enable them to


adapt in water.
• Fish are covered with scales for protection from disease and from
other animals that live on water. Their scales are smooth and slimy,
arranged overlapping from head to tail so as the water slips smoothly
as it moves forward. They have gills for breathing underwater and fins
for swimming.
• Shrimp and lobster are covered with outside skeleton or exoskeleton
while other animals like clams and mussels are covered with shells.

Terrestrial Animals

• Some animals are covered with fur to keep them warm. Others are
covered with feathers for flying. Some have smooth skin for breathing
like worms. Most body coverings of animals are for protection.
• Animals have body parts for moving like legs for walking and wings for
flying.
• Land or terrestrial animals have lungs for breathing.

Food Getting Structure

• Some animals use their paws, claws, mouthparts like beaks and teeth.
Others use their sticky tongue, movable jaws and sucking tubes.

• Animals having the same mouth parts eat same kind of food. E.g.
animals with flat teeth eat grass or plants, animals with sharp teeth
eat meat or other animals and there are animals which have both of
these kinds of teeth.

Parts Used by Animals for Protection

• Some animals protect themselves against their enemies through


protective coloration called camouflage. Other animals imitate the
shapes, smell, tastes, color or even the sound of other animals which
is called mimicry.
• Most insects secrete chemicals that they use to protect themselves like
squid, wasps and snake.
• Other animals protect their own kind. Monkeys, elephant and
penguins travel through the jungle in the family groups.
• Animals such as turtles, crabs, snail and oyster have protective shell
covers. When they sense danger, they keep their bodies inside their
shell.
