2.Present the song “Habitat Song” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byvf7jwdvOI
Engaging the pupils to sing the song and answer questions afterwards.

2.What does it talk about?
3.How many habitats/ different homes for living things in the song?
4.What are these 6 habitats?
5.How important are these habitats to the living organisms or how are these affect the life cycle of
organisms?
B. EXPLORATION Present the pictures and guide questions will be answered by the pupils.

Activity : “What is in the Picture?”

Directions: Look at the picture below. Describe the environmental factors affecting life
cycle of organisms in the following environments. Answer the guide questions below.
Picture1 Picture 2
 Picture 3

Guide Questions:
1. What kind of environment is in picture 1? picture 2? picture 3? What do we call this habitat?
2.What organisms can be found in environment/habitat 1? habitat 2? habitat 3?

3.What are the environmental factors affecting the life cycle of organisms?

4.In what way does water help in the life cycle of organisms? food? shelter? space?
5.What will happen to the organisms if there is:
a. limited food?
b. insufficient water?
c. limited space for the organism?
d. no shelter?

C. EXPLANATION  A habitat is a place where an organism makes its home. Some examples of habitats
are the forest, farm, wetlands, ocean, freshwater, and desert. A habitat meets all the
environmental conditions an organism needs to survive.

 The main components of a habitat are shelter, water, food, and space. A habitat is said to
have a suitable arrangement when it has the correct amount of all of these.
 The environmental factors affecting the life cycle of organisms are as follows: food, water,
shelter and space. Each factor affects in the life cycle of the organisms.

 Food is an environmental factor needed by all organisms. They use it to get energy and
perform life processes. Food is also needed for organisms’ growth and development of the
body.

 Living organisms need water to survive. Other organisms require water to break down food
molecules or generate energy during the respiration process. Water also helps many
organisms regulate metabolism and dissolves compounds going into or out of the body.

 An organism’s shelter protects it from other animals and extreme weather. Shelter also
provides space for eating, sleeping, hunting, and raising a family. Shelters come in many
forms. A single tree, for example, can provide sheltered habitats for many different
organisms.
  Organisms need a living space or enough area for them to obtain resources like food, water,
and oxygen. It is also an area where they can express their physical and social behaviors.

Activity
Directions: In 1-2 sentences, describe the effects of the following environments on the life cycle
of organisms.

D. ELABORATION A.Directions: Look at the picture below and answer the questions that follow.

Questions:

1. What can you say about the picture? What organisms can you see?
 2. What environmental factors are present in the picture of habitat?

3. Why do you think are water, food, shelter, and space important to the organisms in
that particular habitat?

4. What do you think will happen to the life cycle of organisms if all environmental
factors are present in a habitat? What if one or all of the factors are absent?

5. How can you help organisms continue having a normal life cycle in the environment?

B.Directions: Complete the table below by describing the effects of the kind of environment to
the life cycle of organisms. Then, answer the questions that follow.
