I. OBJECTIVES
A. Content Standards The learners demonstrate an understanding of the one-way flow of energy and the
cycling of materials in an ecosystem.
B. Performance Standards The learners should be able to make a poster comparing food choices based on the
trophic levels’
C. Learning Competencies/Objectives Describe the transfer of energy through trophic levels; S8LT-IVi22
Write for the LC code for each
D. Specific Learning Objectives At the end of the lesson the learners should be able to:
 Explain the transfer of energy through tropic levels.
 Appreciate the food chain and food web through recognizing how energy is
transferred from one organism to another
 Demonstrate the food chain and food web by simulating the transfer of energy
between organisms

teacher Glaisa.
 Checking of who among you want to lead the prayer?
(a student will lead the
Attendance prayer)
Before you take your seat kindly pick up the pieces of trash
Dear Lord thank for

this day, we offer you
Class Secretary is there any absent for today
this day to guide us
Very good Class
with our studies.
Amen!
During our Class, please do remember this 3 P’s

B. Review previous lesson Class lets have an activity to recall your previous Lesson this
will be called “Pictured Me Out”, I have here three
pictures, what you are going to do is to identify what kind of
ecosystem is being presented. a. Marine
Picture A represent what kind of ecosystem? Ecosystem
b. Forest
Ecosystem
c. Dessert
Ecosystem
a.

How about the next picture?

Ecosystem is a system
formed by an
interaction of
community of organism
with their physical
environment
b.

And, the last picture?

Very Good! Give yourself five claps

C.DEVELOPMENT OF THE LESSON

a. Activity
Class I will be group you into Two, each group will choose 1 Student will find the
representative who will compete with the other group, this sequence of this
Game called “Cup Stacking” organism.
Group 1
 Grass
 Grasshopper
 Frog
 Snake

Group 2
 Grass
 Grasshopper
 Frog
 Snake

Each group are ask to analyze the picture in the cup and will Trophic Levels ma’am
identify the organism who will eat first and who’s last, the
representative of the group who will stack the cup first with worm

the correct sequence will merit the points eventually. human

Based on the activity you made earlier what do you think chicken
will be our topic for today?

FOOD CHAIN – a sequence of food transferred from
pro0ducers to various levels of consumer and to the final link

Three kinds of Consumer
a. Primary consumer

-Carnivore

b. Tertiary consumer
-Omnivore

3.Decomposer- organism that break down the Consume dead
