COMPETENCIES: CONTENT STANDARD:

 Explain ingestion, absorption, assimilation, and excretion
 Compare mitosis and meiosis, and their role in the cell -division cycle
 Explain the significance of meiosis in maintaining the chromosome number
 Predict phenotypic expressions of traits following simple patterns of
inheritance
 Explain the concept of a species
 Classify organisms using the hierarchical taxonomic system
 Explain the advantage of high biodiversity in maintaining the stability of an
ecosystem
 Describe the transfer of energy through the trophic levels
 Analyze the roles of organisms in the cycling of materials
 Explain how materials cycle in an ecosystem
 Suggest ways to minimize human impact on the environment
Assumption/s :
Pupils are classified as part of a
(a.) home-based (asynchronous),
(b.) online (synchronous) cohorts
Each online (synchronous) session is given a 30-minute time allotment
Every online (synchronous) session admits a maximum of 20 pupils
The learner demonstrates understanding of …
 the digestive system and its interaction with the circulatory, respiratory, and
excretory systems in providing the body with nutrients for energy
 diseases that result from nutrient deficiency and ingestion of harmful
substances, and their prevention and treatment
 how cells divide to produce new cells
 meiosis as one of the processes producing genetic variations of the Mendelian
Pattern of Inheritance
 the concept of a species
 the species as being further classified into a hierarchical taxonomic system
 the one-way flow of energy and the cycling of materials in an ecosystem
PERFORMANCE STANDARD:
The learner should be able to …
 present an analysis of the data gathered on diseases resulting from nutrient
deficiency
 report on the importance of variation in plant and animal breeding
 report (e.g., through a travelogue) on the activities that communities engage in
to protect and conserve endangered and economically important species the
 one-way flow of energy and the cycling of materials in an ecosystem
 make a poster comparing food choices based on the trophic levels

LEARNING MATERIALS: ENDURING UNDERSTANDING:

 The students will understand that human body needs food with the
1.Textbook (grade 8) in printed or digital form right nutritional value
2. Learning packet (for offline / asynchronous) self-based, home-based work  Reproduction of organisms begins at the cellular level
3. Powerpoint Presentations (as specified in this instructional design - to be
prepared by the teacher)
 Every individual has a unique set of genetic codes
4. Youtube videos (site/s provided)  A pair of alleles indicates the expression of a trait in your body
5. Online tests / quizzes/activities  Ecosystem with high biodiversity has a greater success rate that
those with low biodiversity
 Living things depend on each other and in their environment
